Instructions: Answer the following questions. Upload your solutions in the section provided in
the Google Classroom.
1. External Standard Method. Presidential candidates in Country X present themselves
for drug tests to belie each other's allegations of being a drug addict. Suppose the limit
of detection (minimum quantifiable amount that is reliable) of an HPLC instrument is
0.050 ppm (Meaning, a result below 0.050 ppm is not necessarily reliable or does not
necessarily give a positive result). The analyte to be measured is cocaine due to the
allegations provided by the current president of one presidential candidate being a
cocaine addict. Therefore, standard solutions of cocaine are prepared. The peak areas
for the cocaine standards are provided below.

A. Calculate the regression equation and the R-squared value.
TLA: Chromatography
B. Calculate the concentration of cocaine found in the blood samples of the presidentiables.
Which presidential candidate "reliably" tested positive for cocaine?
2. Internal standard method. Apart from cocaine, the analysts took the liberty to test for other
drugs. Due to lack of standards, the analysts only used the "spiking" method or the internal
standard method. The following are the results of the spiking method.
A. Test for party drug X (Spiked with 1.000 ppm standard solution of party drug X)
