Question
- A chemist obtained the following data for percent lindane in the triplicate analysis of an insecticide preparation: 7.23, 6.95, and 7.53%. Calculate the 90% confidence interval for the mean of the the three data, assuming that
(a) the only information about the precision of the method is the precision for the three data.
(b) on the basis of long experience with the method, it is believed that s---->σ lindane.
(c) If s=0.28 is good estimate of σ, how many replicate measurement should be made in order for the mean for the analysis of sample to be within 0.2% of the true mean 90% of the time.

What should the interval between doses be, if the concentration of drug in the body should not fall belc 40.% of its initial concentration? Round your answer to 2 significant digits.arrow_forward0.0123 g of the powder from the tablet ( 1.4770g) was transferred to a 100 mL volumetric flask. 20 mL of 1M hydrochloric acid was added to the flask. The volume in the flask was then made up to the mark with deionized water which was filtered. 40 mL of the filtrate and 4 mL of a lanthanum chloride solution were placed into a large test tube. Half of the prepared sample was spiked with a 20 mg/L calcium standard. The calibration standards and the unknown sample solutions were then measured for calcium concentration at 422.7 nm with flame atomic absorption spectroscopy. Each tablet is stated by the manufacturer to contain 500 mg of calcium.

- (5) A sample of sodium phosphate is dissolved in water to give 100.00 mL of solution (Solution A). Then this solution is diluted 5 times to give the final solution (Solution B). Solution B is Known to contain 3.920 x 1022 number of PO43- ions, which has an absorption peak at 460 nm and absorbance value of 0.355 in a 1.000 cm cuvette. (i) Calculate the molar absorptivity of Solution B. (ii) What mass of sodium phosphate (MM 163.94 g/mol) dissolved in Solution A.arrow_forward4- A sample containing H2C204 had a purity equal to 90.50% (w/w). An unknown mass of this sample was dissolved in water and transferred to a 50.00 mL flask. An aliquot of 25.00 mL was transferred to an erlenmeyer flask and 50.00 mL of a 0.2000 mol L^-1 NaOH solution were added. %3 Excess NaOH was titrated with 0.09000 mol L^-1 HCI solution using 2.000 mL. Calculate the mass (g) of the sample used. Data: H = 1.008 C= 12.01 O = 16.00arrow_forwardYou want to determine the amount of iron(III) in acomplex salt. You make a 100.0 mL solution of the complex salt by dissolving 0.0670 g of complex salt with water to the mark on a 100.0 mL volumetric flask. You get an absorbance reading for the iron from the spectrometer of 0.334. The molar absorptivity is determined to be 17605 L/mole∙cm and the pathlength is 1.00 cm. Determine the molarity of iron(III) in solution. Determine the mass percentage of iron(III) in the complex salt.arrow_forward
- What is the concentration of ions in the soil solution after fertilizer application? Suppose that 122 pounds of K+ were applied per acre, then a gentle rain soaked the top 10 inches of soil to field capacity, which for the given soil was about 16% water by volume. If the K+ was applied as KCl, it is plausible that it all dissolved and distributed relatively uniformly with the infiltrating water. If so, then what was the K+ concentration in the soil solution in mol K+/L solution? Note that the volume can be computed like we do for an acre-furrow-slice (AFS), as area times depth. This is going to be a relatively small number, so please report your answer in mol K+/L solution to at least 5 decimal places.arrow_forward2. The addition of dimethylglyoxime, H₂C4H6O₂N2, to a solution containing nickel(II) ion gives rise to the precipitate, Ni(HC4H6O₂N2)2: N₁²+ + H₂C4H6O₂N₂ → 2H+ + Ni(HC₂H5O₂N2)2 (s) Nickel dimethylglyoxime is a bulky precipitate that is inconvenient to manipulate in amounts greater than 175 mg. The amount of nickel in a type of permanent-magnet alloy ranges between 24% and 35%. Calculate the amount of sample that should not be exceeded when analyzing these alloys for nickel.arrow_forwardHow much iron ore (that assays at 16.54%16.54% Fe)Fe) must be used in an analytical procedure that is known to have a low bias of −0.15 g if an overall relative error of 2.26 ppth in the iron content is desired?arrow_forward
