Standard addition. An unknown sample of Ni2+gave a current of 2.36μ´¡in an electrochemical analysis. When 0.500mLof solution containing role="math" localid="1654761474124" 0.0187MNi2+was added to 25.0mLof unknown, the current increased to 3.79μ´¡.

(a) Denoting the initial, unknown concentration as [Ni2+], write an expression for the final concentration, [Ni2+]f, after role="math" 25.0mLof unknown were mixed with 0.500mLof standard. Use the dilution factor for this calculation.

(b) In a similar manner, write the final concentration of added standard Ni2+, designated as [S]f.

(c) Find[Ni2+]in the unknown.

Short Answer

Expert verified

a) The expression for the final concentration [Ni] after adding 25.0mLof unknown to 0.500mLof standard has to be expressed as[Ni2+]f=[Ni2+]i25.025.5=0.984[Ni2+]i

b) The final concentration of added standard [Ni2+]and designated as Sfwas expressed as 0.005627M.

c) The concentration of[Ni2+]i in the unknown was calculated as9.00×10-4M.

Step by step solution

01

Concept used

Standard addition are the addition of known quantities of analyte to unknown solution, with the increase in linearity we can deduce that how much analyte present in the original unknown solution.

Standard addition equation =XiSfXf=lxls+x

Where,

role="math" localid="1654763027013" Xi=The concentration of analyte in initial solution.

role="math" localid="1654763033694" Sf+Xf=The concentration of analyte plus standard in final solution.

role="math" localid="1654763101592" lx=Signal from the initial solution

ls+x=signal from the final solution.

For an initial volume V0of unknown and added volume Vsof standard with concentration Si,

The total volume is

V=V0+Vs

And the concentration of equation 1 can be written as

Xf=XiV0VSf=SiVsV

02

Calculate the expression for the final concentration

Initial volumeVi=25.0mL

Final volumeVf=25.5mL

Final concentration Ni2+f=Ni2+iViVf

Ni2+f=Ni2+i25.025.0=0984Ni2+i

The expression for the final concentrationNiafter adding25.0mLof unknown to0.500mL of standard has to be expressed.

03

Calculate the final concentration

b)

Given,

Sf=SiVsV

Where,

Vs=0.500V=25.5Si=0.0287M

Substituting the above values we will get,

Sf=SiVsVSf=0.0287M0.50025.5=0.005627M

04

Calculate the concentration

c)

Standard addition equation=XiSf+Xf=lxls+x

Where,

ix=2.36μ´¡lx+s=3.79μ´¡Sf=0.005627MNi2+f=0.9804Ni2+

Standard addition equation =Ni2+i0.005627+0.9804Ni2+i=2.36μ´¡3.79μ´¡Ni2+i=9.00×10-4M

Spike recovery and detection limit. Species of arsenic found in drinking water include AaO33-(arsenite), AaO33-(arsenate),role="math" localid="1655008942536" (CH3)2Aso2(dimethylarsinate), and (CH3)AsO32-(methylarsonate). Pure water containing no arsenic was spiked with 0.40μ²µarsenate/L. Seven replicate determinations gave 0.39,0.40,0.38, 0.41,0.36,0.35, and 0.39μ²µ/L15Find the mean percent recovery of the spike and the concentration detection limit (μ³Ò/L).

Internal standard graph -- Data are shown below for chromatographic analysis of naphthalene (C10H8), using deuterated naphthalene (C10D8, in which D is the isotope 2H) as an internal standard. The two compounds emerge from the column at almost identical times and are measured by a mass spectrometer.

(a) Using a spreadsheet such asFigure 4-15, prepare a graph of Equation 5-12 showing peak area ratio(C10H8/C10D8)versus concentration ratio role="math" localid="1663559632352" ([C10H8]/C10D8) . Find the least-squares slope and intercept and their standard uncertainties. What is the theoretical value of the intercept? Is the observed value of the intercept within experimental uncertainty of the theoretical value?

(b) Find the quotientrole="math" localid="1663559638520" [C10H8]/[C10D8]for an unknown whose peak area ratio (C10H8/C10D8) is 0.652. Find the standard uncertainty for the peak area ratio.

(c) Here is why we try not to use 3-point calibration curves. For n = 3 data points, there is n - 2 = 1 degree of freedom, because 2 degrees of freedom are lost in computing the slope and intercept. Find the value of Student's for confidence and 1 degree of freedom. From the standard uncertainty in (b), compute the 95 % confidence interval for the quotient[C10H8]/[C10D8] . What is the percent relative uncertainty in the quotient[C10H8]/[C10D8]? Why do we avoid 3-point calibration curves?

What is the difference between an instrument detection limit and a method detection limit? What is the difference between robustness and intermediate precision?
