You have obtained a gas chromatogram of a two component mixture of compounds A and B. The height of peak A is 3.84 cm. and the width at half height is 1 cm. The height of peak B is 3.49 cm. and the width at half height is 1.36 cm. The percentage of a component in the mixture is proportional to peak area. Estimate peak areas by multiplying height by width at half height. What was the percentage of compound B in the mixture? (Enter your answer as a number without any percent symbol or the word percent.)

One method for the quantitative determination of the concentration of constituents in a sample analyzed by gas chromatography is area normalization. Here, complete elution of all the sample constituents is necessary. The area of each peak is then measured and corrected for differences in detector response to the different eluates. This correction involves dividing the area by an empirically determined correction factor. The concentration of the analyte is found from the ratio of its corrected area to the total corrected area of all peaks. For a chromatogram containing three peaks, the relative areas were found to be 16.4, 45.2 and 30.2, in order of increasing retention time. Calculate the percentage of each compound if the relative detector responses were 0.60, 0.78 and 0.88, respectively.

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.
Oral rehydration salts are stated to contain the following components: Sodium Chloride 3.5g Potassium Chloride 1.5g Sodium Citrate 2.9g Anhydrous Glucose 20.0g 8.342 g of oral rehydration salts are dissolved in 500 ml of water. 5 ml of the solution is diluted to 100 ml and then 5 ml is taken from the diluted sample and is diluted to 100 ml. The sodium content of the sample is then determined by flame photometry. The sodium salts used to prepare the mixture were: Trisodium citrate hydrate (C6H5Na3O7, 2H2O) MW 294.1 and sodium chloride (NaCl) NW 58.5. Atomic weight of Na = 23. The content of Na in the diluted sample was determined to be 0.3210 mg/100 ml. Determine the % of stated content of Na in the sample. The stated should be 104.5, how??
