A spectrophotometric method for the quantitative determination of the concentration ofPb2+ in blood yields an Ssamp of 0.133 for a 1 mL sample of blood that has been diluted to 6 mL. A second sample is spiked with 1 µL of a 1467 ppb Pb2+ standard and diluted to 6 mL, yielding an Sspike of 0.491. Determine the concentration of Pb2+ in the original sample of blood.
1a) Hexane, CH3(CH2)4CH3, is found to have a long retention time when separated from a mixture. A column with a C18 (18-carbon chain) stationary phase and a methanol-water modal phase is used for the separation. Explain why hexane has a long retention time. 1b)You wish to chromatographically seperate a mixtureof the follwing compunds. Which of the two compounds will be most difficult to seperatate from one another? Why?
Internal standard (As , Cs ), analyte with known concentration (Ax , Cx ) In a chromatographic equipment, a solution containing 0.006727 X and 0.008331 M S give peak area of Ax= 2316 and As= 207. To analyze an unknown sample, 5.0mL of 0.008331M S was added to 5.0mL of X, and the mixture was diluted to 50.0mL. This mixture gave a chromatography spectrum with area Ax= 3206 and As= 200. Find Cx.
Internal standard. A mixture containing 12.8 mM analyte (X) and 44.4 mM standard (S) gave chromatographic peak areas of 306 for X and 511 for S. A second solution containing an unknown quantity of X plus 55.5 mM S had peak areas of 251 for X and 563 for S. Find [X] in the second solution.
A 5.00-mL sample of blood was treated with trichloroacetic acid to precipitate proteins. After centrifugation, the resulting solution was brought to pH 3 and extracted with two 5-mL portions of methyl isobutyl ketone containing the lead-complexing agent APCD. The extract was aspirated directly into an air/acetylene flame and yielded an absorbance of 0.527 at 283.3 nm. Five-milliliter aliquots of standard solutions containing 0.400 and 0.600 ppm of lead were treated in the same way and yielded absorbances of 0.396 and 0.599. Find the concentration of lead in the sample in ppm assuming that Beer’s law is followed.
Two components in an HPLC separation have retention times thatdiffer by 22 s. The first peak elutes in 10.5 min and the peakwidths are approximately equal. Use a spreadsheet to find theminimum number of theoretical plates needed to achieve thefollowing resolution, Rs, values: 0.50, 0.75, 0.90, 1.0, 1.10, 1.25,1.50, 1.75, 2.0, and 2.5. How would the results change if peak 2were twice as broad as peak 1?
A third spectrophotometric method for the quantitative analysis of Pb2+ in blood uses Cu2+ as an internal standard. A standard containing 1.75 ppb Pb2+ and 2.25 ppb Cu2+ yields a ratio of (SA/SIS)std of 2.37. A sample of blood is spiked with the same concentration of Cu2+, giving a signal ratio, (SA/SIS)samp, of 1.80. Determine the concentration of Pb2+ in the sample of blood.
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?
Pesticide residues were found in a lot of oranges; the compound identified was the epoxide of heptachlor (EH). To quantify the amount of this pesticide in oranges, 20 grams were taken from fruit peels and mixed with methylene chloride to extract it. The concentration of heptachlor epoxide in the sample was determined by gas chromatography coupled to a detector mass (GC-MS); and calibration was performed using anthracene (A) as internal standard. For In this analysis, the anthracene had a concentration of 350 ppm and the same volume was added to each standard. The table below shows the concentrations of the standard and the ratio of the areas.and the sample is: 0.1080.Determine the concentration of heptachlor epoxide in the sample.
Next, 2.00 mL of 9.63 mM S was added to 10.00 mL of a solution of unknown concentration of X, and the mixture was diluted to 25.0mL. Chromatographic analysis of this solution produced peak areas of 4822 for X and 4099 for S. What was the concentration of 5 (in mM) of the 25.0mL solution?
