Low Concentrations of Ni-EDTA near the detection limit have the following counts in a mass spectral measurement: 175, 104, 164, 193, 131, 189, 155, 133, 151, 176. Ten measurements of a blank has a mean of 45 counts. A sample containing 1.00 μM Ni-EDTA gave 1797 counts. What is the sensitivity in counts/M?

Mass spectrometry is an extremely versatile detection system for GC. However, interfacing an HPLC system to a mass spectrometer is a much more difficult task. Describe the major reasons why it is more difficult to combine HPLC with mass spectrometry than it is to combine GC with mass spectrometry.
A graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrophotometer (AAS) was used to determine the arsenic (As) concentrations in drinking water. A large set of blank samples yielded an average blank signal of 0.013 and a blank standard deviation of 0.0030. The following data were obtained for a calibration curve. [As] (ppm) 2.0 4.0 6.0 8.0 10.0 Absorbance 0.17 0.28 0.48 0.53 0.72 Using a spreadsheet on an Excell, create a graph of the data using symbols only for the data points. Plot the line on the same graph and include the graph to this question. (a). What is the sensitivity of the method? (b). Calculate the LOD and LOQ for As. (c). A sample of water yielded an absorbance of 0.43. What is the concentration of As in the water?
0.1120 g of a solid sample containing copper was dissolved by acid and transferred to a 250.00 mL volumetric flask and volume was made up with distilled water. The solution was then diluted by a factor of 25. The final solution was analyzed by atomic absorption spectrophotometry and the concentration was found be 2.982 ppm, What is the weight percentage of copper in the original solid sample? Keep four significant figures in your final answer.

The determination of iron in wines was carried out by atomic absorption spectrophotometry, using the standard addition method. To do this, 10 mL of wine were placed in five 50 mL volumetric flasks; then 0, 5, 10, 15 and 20 mL of a 10 ppm iron standard solution were added to each of them. Next, they were gauged with distilled water and the absorbance was measured, obtaining the values of 0.040, 0.062, 0.081, 0.102 and 0.125 respectively. Calculate the regression parameters and obtain the iron concentration in the wine, in µg / mL.
Chemistry Atomic absorption analysis of Zn gave a calibration best fit line of A=0.670(ppm Zn) The detection limit was determined for this analysis using a 0.020 ppm Zn solution. The standard deviation of the absorbances for 11 samples of the solution was found to be 1.560 x 10-3 and the slope of the calibration curve was 0.026. Calculate the detection limit, Cq, (in units of ppm) for this instrument. Give your answer to 3 places after the decimal place.
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…

Quinine in a 1.553-g antimalarial tablet was dissolved in sufficient 0.10 M HCl to give 250 mL of solution.A 10.00-mL aliquot was then diluted to 50.00 mL with the acid. The fluorescence intensity for the dilutedsample at 347.5 nm provided a reading of 196 on an arbitrary scale. A standard 100-ppm quinine solutionregistered 125 when measured under conditions identical to those for the diluted sample. Calculate the massin milligrams of quinine in the tablet.
