Answers.
E relative - ANS (|x1-x(true)|)/x(true) *100
standard deviation - ANS sqrt((x1-x)^(2)+(x2-x)^(2))/(n-1)
relative standard deviation - ANS (s/x(mean))*100
relative uncertainty - ANS (abs uncertainty)/measured value
How are vol pipets calibrated? - ANS For last drop to not be forced out
TC - ANS to contain
TD - ANS to deliver
Tolerance - ANS max permissible deviation of measured value
propagation of uncertainty add or sub - ANS sqrt(x^(2)+x2^(2)......)
propagation on uncertainty multiplication or subtraction - ANS sqrt((x/a)^(2)+(x/b)^(2))
for gaussian curve +2 sigma is.... - ANS 68.2%
for gaussian curve what is +3 sigma.... - ANS 99.7%
Qcalc - ANS (gap)/(range)
Grubbs test - ANS |mean-poss outlier|/s
uncertainty - ANS mu=mean+/- ts/SQrt(N)
S pooled - ANS sqrt((Na-1)sa^(2)+(Nb-1)sb^(2))/(Na+Nb-2)
tcalc - ANS
Least sq method - ANS The best fit line through a set of data points in which the line
which min the sum of sq of deviations between data points and lines.
linear range - ANS conc range of analyte over which linear detector is linearly
proportional
Sensativity - ANS slope of linear portion of a/b curve
, min det limit - ANS 3s/m
lim of quant - ANS 10s/m
internal calibration - ANS carried out through the method of standard additions. Known
analyte.
method of standard additions - ANS accounts for matrix effects. Calibration occurs
within the sample matrix
multi-point standard addition - ANS 4-5 id clean and dry vol flasks obtained. Volume of
sample added to each flask. Next variable amounts of standard solution spiked in each
flask.
Requirements of Internal standard - ANS 1. Must produce a response easily
distinguishable from analyte
2. Should be chemically similar
3. should be chemically stable
equilibrium point - ANS when analyte is consumed by reaction
direct titration - ANS when all the titration is added till all the analyte is consumed by
reaction
back titration - ANS analyst prep adds a known quantity of standard reagent in excess
to consume all analyte, then titrated back to eq
endpoint - ANS the point in a titration where the indicator changes color
requirements of primary standards - ANS 1. Should be stable
2. should not be hydroscopic
3. should be stable when heated
4. high molecular weight
molamity - ANS moles of sol/ kg of sol
common ion - ANS suppresses dissulation
bronsted lowry acids - ANS donate protons
Brinsted-Lowry base - ANS accept protons
Ka=kw/kb - ANS
Ka rules - ANS 1. Ka1 will always be bigger than Ka2
2. The inc in H from first proton donation supplies further reaction donation
