Interpretation:
An excel spreadsheet is to be prepared according to the given structure to calculate the composition of a mixture from the set of obtained peak areas.
Concept introduction:
A device, Gas Chromatograph (GC) is used to separate, identify, and quantify components of gas mixtures. The detector signal is mapped as the series of peaks on a recorder. Each peak corresponds to the specific component and the area under that peak is proportional to the amount of that component in the sample.

- Describe the principle of electrostatic precipitator and cyclone separator. How these equipment/technology can be useful in mitigating source gaseous pollution from industry?arrow_forwardOzone is a trace atmospheric gas which plays an important role in screening the Earth from harmful ultraviolet radiation, and the abundance of ozone is commonly reported in Dobson units. Imagine a column passing up through the atmosphere. The total amount of O3 in the column divided by its cross-sectional area is reported in Dobson units with 1 Du = 0.4462 mmol m−2. What amount of O3 (in moles) is found in a column of atmosphere with a cross-sectional area of 1.00 dm2 if the abundance is 250 Dobson units (a typical midlatitude value)? In the seasonal Antarctic ozone hole, the column abundance drops below 100 Dobson units; how many moles of O3 are found in such a column of air above a 1.00 dm2 area? Most atmospheric ozone is found between 10 and 50 km above the surface of the Earth. If that ozone is spread uniformly through this portion of the atmosphere, what is the average molar concentration corresponding to (a) 250 Dobson units, (b) 100 Dobson units?arrow_forwardIn Lab 2, if the mass of Fe, NaCl and SiO2 recovered are 1.5g. 2.3g and 2.5g.

- A volumetric calcium analysis on triplicate samples of the blood serum of a patient believed to be suffering from a hyperparathyroid condition produced the following data: mmol Ca/L = 3.15, 3.25, 3.26. What is the 95% confidence interval for the mean of the data, assuming no prior information about the precision of the analysis?arrow_forwardUse the figure below (Figure F01-7-8) to answer this question.

The mean global temperature has decreased by ~0.9 °C since 1880. O The mean global temperature has increased by ~0.9 °C since 1880. O The mean global temperature has increased by ~1.1 °C since 1880. The mean global temperature has decreased by ~1.1 °C since 1880. The mean global temperature has increased and decreased since 1880 but overall, the temperature has remained constant.arrow_forwardAn environmental chemist working for the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) was directed to collect razor clams from a heavily-contaminated river superfund site and analyze them for their Ca+ content using graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry (GFAAS). The chemist dried the clams at 95 °C overnight and ground them in a scientific blender, resulting in approximately 50 g of homogenized dry weight. A representative 91.79 mg sample was taken from the approximately 50 g of dry material and dissolved in 100.0 ml. of 0.1 M HCI to create a sample solution. Using the method of standard additions, the chemist prepared five standard solutions in 100.0 ml volumetric flasks, cach containing 5.00 ml. aliquots of the sample solution. Varying amounts of a 85.0 ppb (ug/L) Cd+ standard were added to each of the flasks, which were then brought to volume with 0.1 M HCI. The Cd content of the solutions was then analyzed using GFAAS, resulting in the absorbance data given in the table. TTI…arrow_forward

The average goldconcentration was found to be 0.8 grams per ton. A mine was set up on it and sluice boxes were used as the main gold recovery units and recovered200,000 g of gold from 80% of the ore. The concentration ratio of the sluice boxes was 10,000.The field was mined again. On this occasion bowl concentrators were used. The feed used wasestimated to be 800,000 tons and the concentration ratio of this unit was 20,000. 750,000 grams ofgold was recovered. Calculate the following: i) the Quantity and grade concentrate from the sluice boxes .................. ..................... ii) the quantity and grade of the concentrate from the bowl concentrator plant. .............. iii) the quantity and grade of the material remaining at this location...................................arrow_forwardGiven the Volumetric Analysis of a Natural Gas: CH4 = 67.3% Nitrogen = 9.6% O2 = 2.7% CO = 0.8% C2H6 = 15.4% CO2 = 1.8% H2 = 2.4% Calculate the A/F ratio by mass considering CO = 6.1% CO2.

The NaOH (40 g/mol) pellets are measured to be 0.5341 g in a balance with acceptable uncertainty of +0.001 g. Mass of the pellets is recorded after taring the container. The pellets are put in a beaker and added with 50 ml distilled water measured by a graduated cylinder. The solution is then quantitatively transferred to a 100-mL volumetric flask with uncertainty of ±0.08 mL and diluted to a 100-mL mark. What is the concentration (M) of the solution and estimate its uncertainty by propagation? Assumption: There is no uncertainty in molar mass. Express your answer as C+/- u M.arrow_forward
