Calibration of instrumental methods: The purpose of calibration which is required by all types of analytical methods is quantitation. It is defined as a process in which the measured analytical signal and the concentration of analyte are related to each other. The three most common methods to calibrate are:
- Calibration curve.
- Standard addition method.
- Internal standard method.
In case of standard addition method, standards are added to the aliquots of sample, keeping the matrix components same. On each solution, instrumental measurements are made to obtain instrument response ( S ).
The relation between the instrument response and concentration if they are proportional is,

- (Standard addition) Tooth enamel consists mainly of the mineral calcium hydroxyapatite, Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2. Trace elements in teeth of archeological specimen provide anthropologists with clues about diet and diseases of ancient people. Student at Dankook University measured the trace element strontium (Sr) in enamel from extracted wisdom teeth by atomic absorption spectroscopy. Solutions were prepared with a constant total volume of 10 mL containing 0.750 mg dissolved tooth enamel plus variable concentrations of added standard Sr. Added Standard Sr (ng/mL=ppb) 0 2.50 5.00 7.50 10.00 Emission Signal 28.0 34.3 42.8 51.5 58.6 (a) Make a graph showing the experimental data and the calculated straight line.

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.

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.

By adjusting the length of the latter until the transmission through the two cells is the same. the concentration of the second solution can be inferred from that of the former. Suppose that a plantdye of concentration 25 μg dm-3 is added to the fixed cell. the length of which is 1.55 em. Then a solution of the same dye. but of unknown concentration. is added to the second cel l. It is found that the same t ransmittance is obtained when the length of the second cel l is adjusted to 1.18 em. What is the concentration of the second solution?arrow_forward
