- Exactly 5.00-mL aliquots of a methanol solution containing an unknown amount of methamphetamine were measured into 50.00-mL volumetric flasks. The following volumes of a standard methanol solution of methamphetamine containing 2.000 ug/mL of methamphetamine were then introduced into each flask and the mixture was diluted to volume with 0.000, 0.500, 1.00, 1.50 and 2.00 mL of methanol. 1 uL of these solutions was then injected into a gas chromatograph and the following respective peak areas were measured: 326, 480, 641, 802, and 956 (all peak areas were x 103).

- To quantify the amount of ethanol in a beverage, a technician prepared the first solution which contained 4.90 grams unknown, 1.00 grams acetonitrile, and 4.10 grams water. After the GC analysis which reported the peak areas of 5,742 for ethanol and 3,829 for acetonitrile, the technician added 0.20 grams ethanol to the first solution and ran the GC analysis again. This time, the peak areas of 6,382 for ethanol and 3,709 for acetonitrile for solution 2 were obtained.
