Interpretation:
The cycles that carbon atoms go through, are to be explained. The number of such cycles formed by an average carbon atom is to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
The earth stores carbon in rocks, fossil fuels, oceans, the atmosphere, plants, as well as in the soil. This carbon is changed within its reservoirs in a biogeochemical cycle called the carbon cycle. It is through the carbon cycle that carbon is recycled among the biosphere and its organisms, and this occurs via slow and fast components.
Carbon is exchanged slowly within soil, rocks, ocean, and atmosphere via

- 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).
