(a) Interpretation: The term SI base units need to be defined. Concept introduction: The term is defined as a phrase or word to explain a concept or thing. For example: for the description “anything that occupies space and have mass” is termed as matter. Symbol is a character used to represent a function, object or process. For example: the SI unit of mass is kilograms and its symbol is kg.

There is an instrument in Johnson 334 that measures total-reflectance x-ray fluorescence (TXRF) to do elemental analysis (i.e., determine what elements are present in a sample). A researcher is preparing a to measure calcium content in a series of well water samples by TXRF with an internal standard of vanadium (atomic symbol: V). She has prepared a series of standard solutions to ensure a linear instrument response over the expected Ca concentration range of 40-80 ppm. The concentrations of Ca and V (ppm) and the instrument response (peak area, arbitrary units) are shown below. Also included is a sample spectrum. Equation 1 describes the response factor, K, relating the analyte signal (SA) and the standard signal (SIS) to their respective concentrations (CA and CIS).
