Question
Chapter 5, Problem 5.10QAP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The number of individual spectra that will be summed to increase S/N value from 4.3 to 430 needs to be determined.
Concept introduction:
Signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) is a scale used in engineering and science to compare the level of the signal to the background noise. It is defined as ratio of power of signal to the noise and it is expressed in decibels.

Exactly 5.00 mL aliquots of a
solution containing analyte X were
transferred into 50.00-mL
volumetric flasks and the pH of
the solution is adjusted to 9.0. The
following volumes of a standard
solution containing 2.00 µg/mL of
X were then added into each flask
and the mixture was diluted to
volume: 0.000, 0.500, 1.00, 1.50
and 2.00 mL. The fluorescence of
each of these solutions was
measured with a fluorometer, and
the following values were
obtained: 3.26, 4.80, 6.42, 8.02
and 9.56, respectively.
ii. Using relevant functions in
Excel, derive a
least-squares equation for
the data, and use the
parameters of this
equation to find the
concentration of the
phenobarbital in the
unknown solution.

The resulting signal was 210 units. A spike was made by taking 18.0 ml of the same milk sample, adding 1.0 ml of a 6.0 ppm Vitamin B1 standard solution, and then diluting to 20.0 ml using distilled water.

A standard mixture containing 1.30 µg Co/mL and 1.48 µg Ti/mL measured by AAS produced a signal-to-signal ratio of 2.13 Ti : 1.00 Co. A mixture was prepared by combining 5.50 mL of a Ti(IV) solution of unknown concentration with 3.50 mL of a 13.4 µg/mL solution of Co(II). The absorbance of the mixture at the Ti(IV) wavelength was 0.139 and the absorbance at the Co(II) wavelength was 0.208.
