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)

Carbon’s valence is
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

The carbon atom has four valence (outermost) electrons. Because of this unique configuration, it is easier for the carbon atom to share its four electrons with another atom or atoms than to lose or gain four electrons.

Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

Osmosis occurs where the movement of water move from a region of high water potential to a region of low water potential.

The water potential in blood capillaries need to be higher than the water content in intestinal so that the water will move from blood to intestine which cause diarrhea.
