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.

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
- 2. 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_forwardWhat is the significance of selecting a "representative" sample for chemicalanalysis, and how does this practice ensure accurate and reliable results withrespect to chemical analyses?arrow_forward
