Patients undergoing an upper gastrointestinal tract laboratory test are typically given an X-ray contrast agent that aids with the radiologic imaging of the anatomy. One such contrast agent is sodium diatrizoate, a nonvolatile water-soluble compound. A 0.378-m solution is prepared by dissolving 38.4 g sodium diatrizoate (NaDTZ) in.l.60 102 mL water at 3 1.2C (the density of water at 31.2C is 0.995 g/cm3). What is the molar mass of sodium diatrizoate? What is the vapor pressure of this solution if the vapor pressure of pure water at 31.2C is 34.1 torr?
An analysis of city drinking water for total hardness was done by two students in the laboratory and produced the following results (in ppm CaCO3): Student A: 228.3, 226.4, 226.9, 227.1, and 228.6. Student B: 229.5, 226.1, 230.7, 223.8, and 227.5What is the 95% confidence interval for the mean?
For the calculation of sd, shouldn't it be (0.97-1.09) and so on... because 0.97 = x and 1.09 = mean? and the formula for sd is squared of the summation of (x-mean)^2 divide by n?
The homogeneity of the chloride level in a water sample from a lake was tested by analyzing portions drawn from the top and from near the bottom of the lake, with the following results in ppm Cl: Apply the t test at the 95% confidence level to determine if the chloride level from the top of the lake is different from that at the bottom.

A second spectrophotometric method for the quantitative analysis of Pb2+ in blood yields an Ssamp of 0.712 for a 5.00 mL sample of blood. After spiking the blood sample with 5.00 μL of a 1560 ppb Pb2+ external standard, an Sspike of 1.546 is measured. What is the concentration of Pb2+ in the original sample of blood?
A 25.00mL wastewater sample was analyzed for its Mg2+ content using a standard gravimetric method. the sample was diluted to 3.00L and an 11.00mL aliquot was treated to precipitate magnesium as MgNH4PO4.6H2O using (NH4)2HPO4 as the precipitating agent. the precipitate was then filtered, washed, dried, and ignited resulting in a 0.1325mg Mg2P2O7 residue. How much Mg (in ppm) is present in the original sample
The standard addition method is used to analyze a sample of a river water for mercury. Solution A is made by pipetting 5.00 mL of undiluted sample in to a 10 mL volumetric flask and filling to the mark with DI water.
