Determination of ash content is part of the proximate analysis in food laboratories which provides a measure of the total amount of minerals in the food sample. A 1.068 g as received representative sample of "tunsoy", salted fish. Before ignition, moisture was determined to be 5.65%. After ignition, the ashed sample registered 0.2685 g (ashed sample + crucible). The constant weight of crucible was 0.0178 g. From the data given, calculate % ash in the as received sample. 23.5% 25.1% 24.9% cannot be determined

4. The results of the analysis of a metal alloy were reported in terms of percent Cu (%Cu). The values obtained are 17.34%, 17.33%, 17.28% 17.29%, 17.36%. The expression of the central value significant to chemists is the arithmetic mean (or average) is the sum of the measured values, x;, divided by the n, number of replicate measurements. 7 = (1tr2+x3+» ·+xn %3D a. The mean or the average %Cu is b. The deviation from the mean, d;, is the difference (regardless of sign) between the experimental value and the arithmetic mean. The deviation is always the absolute value of the difference between the experimental data and the mean. d; =| x; - The deviation of the experimental data 17.29% from the mean is
The exact concentration of a Na2S2O3 standard solution was determined by using KIO3 stock solution. 0.2189 g of KIO3 (potassium iodate Mr = 214.00 g/mol) were diluted to 200 cm3. 25 cm3 samples were titrated (after addition of acid and KI, proper amount in excess). The average of the consumption was 15.47 cm3. What is the concentration of Na2S2O3 standard solution and the KIO3 solution?
Phenobarbital was introduced in 1912 for the treatment of epilepsy. It is an anti-convulsant and sedative-hypnotic drug and used to control seizures. The measurement of phenobarbital is by fluorescence method. A 5.00 mL aliquots of an unknown containing phenobarbital were delivered to 50.00 mL volumetric flasks. The following volumes of a standard solution of phenobarbital, 2.00ug/mL, were then introduced to the volumetric flasks before diluting to volume with the corresponding signals on a fluorometer equipment. Find the concentration of phenobarbital in the original unknown sample.
