You are centrifuging a test tube of spherical cells in a buffer solution. The buffer viscosity and density are 0.02 Pa-s and 1.0 g/cm³; the cells have a diameter 4.5 µm and density is 1.2 g/cm3. The centrifuge rotates at 4000 rpm, with sample holders placed 10 cm from the rotation axis. Which of the following changes will result in having your samples sediment in the least amount of time? O Increasing the viscosity of the buffer to 0.04 Pa s. Doubling the length of the test tube. O Reducing the buffer density to 0.8 g/cm³. Increasing the rotation rate to 8000 rpm. Increasing the distance of the sample holder to 20 cm.

In a GC run, dodecane was used as test solute for a 30 m x 250 ?m i.d. DB-5 column. The dodecane peak eluted at 5.2 min. and the distance between its two inflection points was 4.0 s. This was the number of theoretical plates generated by this column:
The protein content of wheat flour can be determined with reasonable accuracy using the gravimetric factor 5.70+0.01. A 2.06±0.01 g sample of flour was taken through a Kjeldahl procedure and the ammonia produced was distilled into 50.0+0.1 mL of 0.1600±0.0001 M boric acid solution which required 34.7±0.1 ml of 0.174±0.002 M HCI for titration to the methy red end point. Calculate the weight percent protein [and uncertainty] in the sample. (AW Nitrogen=14.01 g/mol) *

Anionic surfactants in wastewater are measured spectrophotometrically as methylene blue active substances (MBAS). A volume of a water sample is first reacted with methylene blue, a cationic dye, in a basic buffered aqueous solution. The resulting solution is agitated after the addition of chloroform. The organic layer is then extracted, and the absorbance is read at 655 nm. A standard calibration curve is produced by plotting absorbance vs. concentration for the concentration range between 0 ppm to 2.50 ppm. The line had the following equation: y = 0.286x + 0.009 a. The limit of surfactant content in Philippine class B water is 300 ppb. If a 5 mL aliquot of a 50 mL water sample had an absorbance of 0.084 after MBAS analysis, is the sampled water body suitable for bathing? Support your answer
Bradford assay was used to determine bovine serum albumin (BSA) concentrations. The method works by binding Coomassie Brilliant Blue dye to protein standards and unknown, leading to a shift in the absorbance maximum of the dye. A stock solution of BSA is available (10 mg/ml) from which the protein standards were prepared. Bradford reagent, 290 ul, was pipetted into a transparent 96-well microplate. 10 ul of the protein dilution was added followed by mixing in the wells. After 5 min of incubation at room temperature, the plate was read in spectrum mode with the absorbance spectrometer of the microplate reader. The spectrum of the dye not bound to protein was also determined. Create a standard curve or regression equation that related the protein concentration and absorbance. An unknown BSA sample was prepared the same way as the standard and the OD was 0.35. determine the original concentration of the protein solution. The measurements can be seen below. 0.0625 Protein Concentration…

A standard sample contains 15.0 mM of analyte and 25.0 mM of internal standard. The analysis of the standard sample gives peak areas for the analyte and internal standard of 1.782 and 3.539, respectively, in a chromatography analysis. Then sufficient internal standard is added to a sample to make its concentration 10.0 mM. The analysis of this new sample yields peak areas for the analyte and internal standard of 0.894 and 2.981, respectively. Name the calibration method and report the analyte's concentration in the new sample. (e)
