Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The equation A.1-6 should be derived for the slope of the line by using the expression for the vertical distance, di from the ith data point. The expression for should be determined by finding the differentiating the value of a that minimizes this function.
Concept introduction:
Let (x1 ,y1 ),(x2 ,y2 ),........(xn , yn ) to be n data points in a given data set. It is given that a trend line should be drawn through the origin using these data points. The standard format of a line through the origin is y = ax where “a” is the slope and use the method of least square to derive the equation. In addition, when calculating the slope of the line use the vertical distance di from the ith data point (x, yi ) to the line then find the value of a that minimizes this function.

- (a) A solution of 20.91 % by weight H2SO4 has a specific gravity of 1.150. What is the normality of this solution? (b) Water is added to dilute this solution to a solution of 3.03% by weight H2SO4 (SG= 1.020). What is the new normality of the resulting solution and how were they mixed? (Assume 100 mL of the original solution was used.)arrow_forwardQ3)a) Discuss the any two applications of Beer’s law with suitable justification. (b) In an analytical laboratory a chemical compound namely Paracetamol (151.163 g/mol) is determined in a sample. A sample weighing 0.0295 g was dissolved in a solvent and diluted the solution to 1 L. The solution has λ max at 243 nm (ε=2.6×104 cm-1 mol-1 L). The solution exhibits an absorbance of 0.638 in a 2 cm cell. Calculate the percentage paracetamol in the sample. (c) Analyze any two causes of non-linearity of curve in the Beer’s law.arrow_forwardYou are checking the accuracy of a volumetric flask marked 10.00 mL . To calculate the volume of water contained in the flask, you first measure the mass of the empty flask and the mass of the flask filled with water and take the difference. Then, you correct for the buoyancy factor and divide by the density of the water. The result of 8 such measurements is given in the table. Calculate the 95% confidence interval for these measurements with a mean of 10.03.arrow_forward

The chemist dried the clams at 95° C overnight and ground them in a scientific blender, resulting in ~ 50 g of homogenized dry weight. A representative 61.00 mg sample was taken from the ~ 50 g of dry material and dissolved in 100.00 mL of 0.1 M HCI to create a sample solution. Using the method of standard additions, the chemist prepared five standard solutions in 100.00-mL volumetric flasks, each containing 5.00-mĹ aliquots of the sample solution. Varying amounts of a 87.0 ppb (ug · L-1) cadmium standard were added to each of the flasks, which were then brought to volume with 0.1 M HCI. The solutions were then examined for their Cd²+ content using GFAAS, resulting in the following absorbance data. Sample Vol. (mL) Cd2+…arrow_forward
