A standard method for analyzing aspirin tablets has a known variance of 20. A sample of 10 aspirin tablets is selected and analysed for the amount of aspirin using a modified method, yielding the following results: 254, 249, 252, 252, 249, 249, 250, 247, 251, 252. Determine whether the precision of the modified method is significantly different from that of the standard method at, alpha(a) = 0.10

A standard solution was prepared containing 10.0 ppm of an analyte and 15.0 ppm of an internal standard. Analysis of the sample gave signals for the analyte and internal standard of 0.155 and 0.233 (arbitrary units), respectively. Sufficient internal standard was added to an unknown sample to make it 15.0 ppm in the internal standard. Analysis of the unknown sample yielded signals for the analyte and internal standard of 0.274 and 0.198, respectively. Calculate the concentration of analyte in the unknown sample.

Chloroform is used as an internal standard in the determination of the pesticide deltamethrin. To calibrate the method a mixture of 0.500 mM of chloroform and 0.800 mM of deltamethrin which produced signals of 15.3 (w.a.) and 10.1 (w.a.) for chloroform and deltamethrin, respectively. To prepare the sample, 10.00 mL of a sample of unknown concentration of deltamethrin and 10.10 μL of pure chloroform (FW = 119.39 g/mol, ρcloroformo = 1.484 g/L) is homogenized and diluted with water to the 100.00 mL mark in a volumetric flask. After preparing the sample, the observed signals of 30.0 (a.u.) and 20.7 (a.u.) for chloroform and deltamethrin, respectively, are observed. 1.
