A scientist wishes to measure the concentration of methyl benzoate in a plant stream by gas chromatography. He prepares a sample of butyl benzoate to use as an internal standard. The results of a preliminary run, which used a solution known to contain 1.35 mg/mL of methyl B benzoate (peak A) and 1.49 mg/mL of butyl benzoate (peak B), are shown. The area of peak A is determined to be 319 and the area of peak B is determined to be 381 measured in arbitrary units by the computer. To measure the sample, 1.00 mL of a standard sample of butyl benzoate containing 2.27 mg/mL is mixed with 1.00 mL of the plant stream material. Analysis of the mixture gave a peak area of 10 Time (min) 15 465 for peak A and 397 for pcak B. What is the concentration of methyl benzoate in the plant stream? methyl benzoate concentration: mg/ Detector Response

Gas Chromatography (GC) is one of the useful techniques in analytical chemistry. Give two important components in GC.
Please answer Questions 5-3, 5-4, and 5-5 (GC Gas Chromatography) 5-2. A sample mixture of ethyl benzoate (bp 212 Celsius) and dodecane (bp 216.2 Celsius) is injected on two GC columns.Column A has DC710 silicone oil as the stationary phase, and column B uses polyethylene glycol as the stationaryphase. Which substance would be certain to elute first from column A and would the same material be expected toelute first from column B? Which column, A or B, would be expected to give the better separation of these two substances? 5-3. Question 5-2 refers to separating a mixture of two high boiling liquids by gas chromatography. These materials havesimilar boiling points. List several GC variables and conditions that would make it easier to separate thesesubstances by gas chromatography. 5-4. Capillary GC columns have better resolution than packed columns even though the enormous surface area provided by the packing material is absent in capillary columns. Why? 5-5. Preparative GC requires…
Below is the procedure described for determination of paracetamol according to BP: "Weigh and powder 20 tablets. Add a quantity of powder equivalent to about 0.35 g paracetamol to 50 ml of 0.1 M NaOH, dilute with water to 200 ml and shake for 15 min. Add sufficient water to make up 250 ml. Filter the solution and dilute 5 ml of the filtrate to 100 ml with water. Dilute further 10 ml to 100 ml. Measure the absorbance at 257 nm. The A, = 715 at 257 nm". Which of the following is correct? O a. An analyst can take 0.37g of the powdered tablets instead of 0.35. O b. An analyst can replace NaOH with HCl O c. An analyst can skip the shaking step O d. B andC O e. All of the above

Using dimensional analysis, find the mass of acetylalicylic acid in one tablet of aspirin. The grams of aspirin used in a titration is .325g before being dissolved in 10mL of water and then added to a base, NaOH, with a molarity of .01M and a volume of 10.1 mL.

A 500.0 μL aliquot of a ferric chloride solution is added to a 50.00 mL volumetric flask. To this flask is added 10 mL of 2M sodium acetate, 2 mL of 10 wt% NH4OCI, 3 mL of 5 wt% 1,10-phenanthroline, and enough DI water to fill the remaining volume of the flask for a total volume of 50.00 mL. Based on the UV-Visible light absorbance, the concentration of [Fe2+]=2.6 ppm. What is the concentration of Fe3+ ion in the original ferric chloride solution? O 3.85 X 103 ppm O 260.0 ppm O 260 ppm O 130 ppm

You obtain an Unknown Sample from the Stockroom. You begin testing the solution through the steps outlined in the flowchart of the experiment’s PDF file. You first add HCl and centrifuge your mixture. You observe the formation of a white precipitate in the bottom of the test tube. After pouring off the supernatant liquid, you add hot water to the white precipitate. Addition of the hot water dissolves some of the precipitate, but some white precipitate still remains on the bottom of the test tube. You pour off the supernatant liquid, and add ammonia (NH3) to the remaining precipitate. You now observe the formation of a gray-black precipitate. Which of the following is a valid conclusion to draw at this point? Select one: Hg22+ is definitely present. Pb2+ is definitely present. Ag+ could be present, or Hg22+ could be present, or BOTH could be present. Ag+ is definitely present
