Mercury intoxication could cause tremendous harmful impacts to human, particularly nervous system and kidney. Ireland food safety authority has set the maximum level of mercury in fishery products at 0.5 ppm. Yvonne conducted elemental analysis on lobster. A 0.5 g piece of lobster meat (dry weight) was acid digested and made up to 10 mL solution. This solution gave an absorbance of 0.51 with the calibration graph as below. Suggest asuitable analytical instrumental technique to detect mercury content. Using the calibration graph below, estimate actual concentration of mercury and comment whether this lobster is safe for human consumption.
A chemist received a radioactive sample that is suspected to contain U, 23U and other elements. The authority wants to know the distribution, qualitative and quantitative composition of the sample. Propose with justifications, ONE Surface analysis technique that can be performed on this sample.
Fluoride determination can be performed photometrically with alizarin red and Zirconium acid solution, obtaining the following data in the calibration: (View Table) 100.0 mL of well water are measured and concentrated to 50 ml by evaporation, the alizarin and zirconium reagents are added (in quantity proportional to the standards) and after the appropriate time, the reading of the instrument (under the same conditions instrumental) reports an absorbance of 0.182. How much fluoride in mg / L does the well water sample contain?

As part of an analytical chemistry laboratory course, a student measured the Ca2+ content in two water samples, city-supplied drinking water and well-supplied drinking water, using two different analytical methods, flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS) and EDTA complexometric titration. The results of this experiment are given in the table as the mean Ca2+concentration (?¯) and standard deviation (?) in parts per million (ppm). Each sample was measured five times (n=5) by each method. Method City-Supplied Drinking Water (?¯±?x¯±s) Well-Supplied Drinking Water (?¯±?x¯±s) FAAS 57.57±0.68 ppm 64.77±0.70 ppm EDTA titration 58.32±0.96 ppm 65.62±0.97 ppm Method Comparison: For each drinking water sample (city and well), compare the Ca2+ content measured by FAAS and EDTA titration. Calculate the ? value for each sample. Do the methods produce statistically different results at the 95% confidence level when measuring the Ca2+content of the city-supplied drinking water? Do the…
Many rivers in Ghana are affected by illegal small-scale mining. Studies have revealed extremely high deposits of heavy metals and participate matter in rivers, making them unwholesome for drinking. With your knowledge on analytical separation and analysis, outline a suitable analytical separation protocol that can be employed to recover polluted river bodies and make them wholesome for drinking.
