Chloroform is an internal standard in the determination of the pesticide DDT in a polarographic analysis in which each compound is reduced at an electrode surface. A mixture containing 0.500 mM chloroform and 0.800 mM DDT gave signals of 15.3 µA for chloroform and 10.1 µA for DDT. An unknown solution (10.00 mL) containing DDT was placed in a 100-ml volumetric flask and 10.2 ul of chloroform (MW = 119.39, density = 1.484 g/mL) were added. After dilution to the mark with solvent, polarographic signals of 29.4 and 8.7 µA were observed for the chloroform and DDT, respectively. Find the concentration of DDT in the unknown.

You prepared a stock solution by dissolving a compound with the molar mass of 110.65 in a 100 mL volumetric flask. Then you removed a 2 mL aliquot and placed it in a 250 mL volumetric flask and dilute it to the mark. The absorbance of this diluted solution in the 250 mL volumetric flask at 288 nvm was 0.421 using a 2.50 cm path length curvet. The molar absorptivity for this compound at 288 nvm is 65000 M-1cm-1 How many ng of the compound were used to make the stock solution? a)1.44 b)0.96 c)0.72 d)1.22 e)2.87
You are developing a procedure for determining traces of copper in biological materials using a wet digestion followed by measurements by atomic absorption spectrophotometry. In order to test the validity of the method, you obtain a NIST orchard leaves standard reference material and analyze this material with your procedure five times and obtain a mean of 12.27 ppm with a standard deviation of 0.097 ppm. The NIST sample is listed as 11.7 ppm. Does your method give a statistically valid value at the 95% confidence level?
A 20-cm long packed column was used to perform the separation of A and B by LC. TRA=16.28 min, TR,B=17.50 min, WA=1.11 min, WB=1.19 min, tм=1.30 min. (a) Calculate the retention factor (k') for A and B. (b) Calculate the average number of theoretical plates and plate height.
Estimate the concentration of nitrate in the aquarium water. Aquarium water was diluted from 1 mL to 100 mL, and the final solution contains the same 10 ppm of internal standard IO2 4 as in the standard mixture. For an estimate, use peak height instead of peak area. There is no need to use normalized peak area 5 peak area/migration time because migration times are nearly the same in both electropherograms.
In a HPLC separation of two compounds, A and B, the retention times observed are 3.5 min. for A and 4.5 min. for B on a 15 cm column. The retention time for the mobile phase is 1.0 min.
