Most analytical machines used in science can either measure absorbance of light, like the spectrophotometers used in BioZ 151 and 152 labs, or can measure change in electrical conductance.
In order to convert things like absorbance values into concentration data, a linear regression is used.
In order to determine nitrite concentration in water samples, nitrite is reacted with several chemicals to produce a purple color. The absorbance of the solution is measured from known amounts of nitrite to produce a standard curve to analyze samples.
Use the data in the provided table, or from the linked spreadsheet (Links to an external site.)to make a graph and perform a linear regression using treadline.

In order for this to work, samples must be diluted prior to measurement so that the concentration falls within the range of the standard curve. If a sample underwent a 87 dilution, and produce an…
In setting up this experiment, a student noticed that a bubble of air leaked into the graduated cylinder when it was inverted in the water bath. What effect would this have on the measured volume of hydrogen gas? Would the calculated molar volume of hydrogen gas be too high or too low as a result of this error? Explain.
2. A student noticed that the magnesium ribbon appeared to be oxidized—the metal surface was black and dull rather than silver and shiny. What effect would the oxidized magnesium ribbon have on the measured volume of hydrogen gas? Would the calculated molar volume of hydrogen be too high or too low as a result of this error? Explain.c

- A soft drink contains an unknown mass of citric acid, C3H5O(COOH)3. It requires 6.42 mL of 9.580 × 10−2-M NaOH to neutralize the citric acid in 10.0 mL of the soft drink. C3H5O(COOH)3(aq) + 3 NaOH(aq) → Na3C3H5O(COO)3(aq) + 3 H2O(ℓ) Determine which step in these calculations for the mass of citric acid in 1 mL soft drink is incorrect? Why? n (NaOH) = (6.42 mL)(1L/1000 mL)(9.580 × 10−2 mol/L) n (citric acid) = (6.15 × 10−4 mol NaOH) × (3 mol citric acid/1 mol NaOH) m (citric acid in sample) = (1.85 × 10−3 mol citric acid) × (192.12 g/mol citric acid) m (citric acid in 1 mL soft drink) = (0.354 g citric acid)/(10 mL soft drink) Determine the correct result.arrow_forwardAssume that the radius of Earth is 6400 km, the crust is 50. km thick, the density of the crust is 3.5 g/cm3, and 25.7% of the crust is silicon by mass.

- The carbon dioxide exhaled in the breath of astronauts is often removed from the spacecraft by reaction with lithium hydroxide 2LiOH(s)+CO2(g)Li2CO3(s)+H2O(l) Estimate the grams of lithium hydroxide required per astronaut per day. Assume that each astronaut requires 2.50 103 kcal of energy per day. Further assume that this energy can be equated to the heat of combustion of a quantity of glucose, C6H12O6, to CO2(g) and H2O(l). From the amount of glucose required to give 2.50 103 kcal of heat, calculate the amount of CO2 produced and hence the amount of LiOH required.

Industrial waste effluent released into waterways from these plants can contain trace amounts of mercury. Legally, the effluent can contain up to 2.50 x 10-9 mol/L of mercury. Determine the minimum volume of water, in megalitres (ML), that must be added to a 1.14 g sample of mercury to dilute the effluent to acceptable levels.
