Textbook Question
Chapter 1, Problem 15QAP
Although reviewing your lecture notes and reading your text book are important, why does the study of chemistry depend so much on problem solving? Can you learn to solve problems yourself just by looking at the solved examples in your textbook or study guide? Discuss.

Reagan is doing an atomic absorption experiment that requires a set of zinc standards in the 0.4-
1.6 ppm range. A 1000 ppm Zn solution was prepared by dissolving the necessary amount of
solid Zn(NO3)2 in water. The standards can be prepared by diluting the 1000 ppm Zn solution.
Table 1 shows one possible set of serial dilutions (stepwise dilution of a solution) that Reagan
could perform to make the necessary standards. Solution A was prepared by diluting 5.00 ml of
the 1000 ppm Zn standard to 50.00 ml. Solutions C-E are called "calibration standards" because
they will be used to calibrate the atomic absorption spectrometer.
