5-28. Ititandard addition. Lead in dry river sediment was extracted with 25wt%HNO3at35°Cfor1h.then1.00mLof filtered extract was mixed with other reagents to bring the total volume to V0=4.60mL.pb(ll)was measured electrochemically with a series of standard additions of 2.50pb(ll).


(a) Volume is not constant, so follow the procedure of Figures 5-5 and 5-6 to find ppmpb(ll)inthe1.00-mL

extract.

(b) Find the standard uncertainty and 95%confidence interval for the x-intercept of the graph. Assuming that uncertainty in intercept is larger than other uncertainties, estimate the uncertainty in ppm pb(ll)inthe1.00-mLextract.

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) pbllin unskippedaliquent=0.0221ppm

(b) The pb(II) in original solution is221μgLit

Step by step solution

01

The procedure to find ppm pb(ll)

(a)

According to the above chart,a standard addition graph of final pb(II) have to be prepared ,contributed by addition of standard pb(II) solution.

The below graph represents their respective observance

So,the trendline equation for the Abs vs cone graph is y=49.52x+1.094,which is in the form of y=mx+c

In the graph, y-axisissignal,x-axisispbllinppm,y-interceptisc,slopeism.

Here,the signal is zero at y-intercept=1.094andm=49.52

pbllisinterceptslope=1.09449.52=0.0221ppm

Hence,pbllinunskippedaliquent=0.0221ppm

02

The standard uncertainty and 95% confidence interval for the x-intercept of the graph

(b)

The unskipped aliquant is consist of

0.5mLof original solution

Aand diluted to a final volume of

50ml.

C1V1unskippedaliquent=C2V2originalsolutionC2=0.0221ppm×5.0ml0.50mlC2=0.0221ppm

So.pb(II) is original solution =0.0221ppm

ppm=mgofsolutelitofsolution

So,the pb(II) in original solution is

A=0.221ppmpbll=0.221mg/Lpbll=221μgLit

So,The pb(II) in original solution is221μgLit

Europium is a lanthanide element found at parts per billion levels in natural waters. It can be measured from the intensity of orange light emitted when a solution is illuminated with ultraviolet radiation. Certain organic compounds that bindEu(III)are required to enhance the emission. The figure shows standard addition experiments in which10.00mLof sample and20.00mLcontaining a large excess of organic additive were placed in 50-mL volumetric flasks. Then Eu(III) standards (0,5.00,10.00,or15.00mL) were added and the flasks were diluted to50.0mLwithH2O. Standards added to tap water contained0.152ng/mL(ppb) of Eu(III), but those added to pond water were 100 times more concentrated (15.2 ng/mL).


(a) Calculate the concentration of Eu(III)(ng/mL) in pond water and tap water.

(b) For tap water, emission peak area increases by.4.61units when 10.00mL of 0.152ng/mL standard are added. This response is4.61 units/1.52ng = 3.03units per ng ofEu(III). For pond water, the response is12.5units when10.00mLof15.2ng/mLstandard are added, or0.0822units per ng. How would you explain these observations? Why was standard addition necessary for this analysis?

Internal standard calibration curve. Figure 5-10 is a graph of Ax/Asversus[X]/[S]=(mol%vinylacetateunits)/(mol%ethyleneunits)=q/p in Reaction 5-13.

(d) From the uncertaintyubof the intercept, find the95%confidence interval for the intercept. Does this interval include the theoretical value of zero?

Here is a use objective for a chemical analysis to be performed at a drinking water purification plant: "Data and results collected quarterly shall will be used to determine whether the concentrations of haloacetates in the treated water demonstrate compliance with the levels set by the Stage 1 Disinfection By-products Rule using Method 552.2"(a specification that sets precision, accuracy, and other requirements).

Which one of the following questions best summarizes the meaning of the use objective?

(i) Are haloacetate concentrations known within specified precision and accuracy?

(ii) Are thehaloacetates detectable in the water?

(iii) Dothehaloacetate concentrations exceed the regulatory limit?

What is the difference between repeatability and reproducibility? Define the following terms: instrument precision, intra-assay precision, intermediate precision, and interlaboratory precision. Which type of precision is a synonym for reproducibility?
