A researcher was attempting to quantify the amount of ddt (dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane) in spinach using gas chromatography

mass spectrometry (gcms). first attempts using external calibration proved difficult, as reproducibility and external standard agreement were poor. to overcome these problems, the researcher used the internal standard calibration method with chloroform as the internal standard. to begin, the researcher analyzed a sample containing 6.44 mg/l ddt standard and 1.41 mg/l chloroform as the internal standard, which produced peak areas of 3979 and 9257 for the ddt and chloroform, respectively.
a. determine the response factor (f).

Answer

Given data

                   Conc. of standard ddt = 6.44mg/l

                   Conc. of Internal standard chloroform = 1.41mg/l

                   Peak of standard ddt = 3979

                   Peak of internal standard chloroform = 9257

Required

              Response factor (RF) = ?

Solution

               As we know that  

               Response factor (RF) = Peak area/sample amount

So RF for standard ddt

                                  RF = 3979/6.44 = 617.85  (answer)

RF for internal standard chloroform

                                RF = 9257/ 1.41= 6565.24 (answer)

The correct answer is A. Saguaro Cacti, with the scientific name <span>Carnegiea gigantea, </span>which is very significant biotic feature to the Sonoran Dessert's ecosystem. The craziest fact about it is that it can grow up to 40 feet tall! The Sonoran Desert is a North American dessert, also. Some other critical biotic features of this desert include joshua trees, rattle snake, and red-tailed hawk.

aniked [119]

Answer:

Independent variable: ALTITUDE

dependent variable: GROWTH OF PLANTS

Confounding variable: STOREYS OF THE BUILDING

Explanation:

In an experiment, the basic components i.e primary variables that an experiment should contain, are the independent and dependent variables.

- The independent variable is the variable that is changed or manipulated in an experiment. In this experiment, the ALTITUDE of the plant is the independent variable.

- The dependent variable is the variable that responds to changes to the independent variable. It is the variable measured in an experiment. In this case, the dependent variable is the GROWTH OF THE PLANTS.

- The confounding variable is a variable that has an extra influence on the outcome of the experiment. In other words, the confounding variable has an impact on the dependent variable. In this case, the confounding variable is the STOREYS OF THE BUILDING.
