An environmental scientist developed a new analytical method for the determination of cadmium (cd^2+) in mussels. To validate th

e method, the researcher measured the Cd^2+ concentration in standard reference material (SRM) 2976 that is known to contain 0.82 plusminus 0.16 ppm Cd^2+. Five replicate measurements of the SRM were obtained using the new method, giving values of 0.782, 0.762, 0.825, 0.838, and 0.761 ppm Cd^2+. Calculate the mean (Bar x), standard deviation (s_x), and the 95% confidence interval for this data set. At list of t values can be found in the student's t table. X Bar = s_x = 95% confidence interval = x Bar plusminus Does the new method give a result that differs from the known result of the SRM at the 95% confidence level?

Answer:

The method is accurate  in the calculation of the Cu^+2

Explanation:

As a first step we have to calculate the <u>average concentration </u>of Cu^+2 find it by the method.

\frac{0.782+0.762+0.825+0.838+0.761 }{5} =0.79 ppm

Then we have to find the<u> standard deviation:</u>

s=\sqrt{\frac{1}{N-1}\sum_{i=1}^N(x_i-\bar{x})^2}=0.0359

For the confidence interval we have to use the formula:

μ=Average±\frac{t*s}{\sqrt{n} }

Where:

t=t student constant with 95 % of confidence and 5 data=2.78

μ= 0.79  ±  \frac{2.78*0.0359}{\sqrt{5} }

upper limit:  0.84

lower limit: 0.75

If we compare the limits of the value obtanied by the method (Figure 1 Red line) with the reference material (Figure 1 blue line) we can see that the values obtained by the method are within the values suggested by the reference material. So, it's method is accurate.

What is the difference between a pure solvent and a solution? Do they have the same physical properties?
pychu [463]

Answer:

The physical properties of a solution are different from those of the pure solvent. ... Colligative properties are those physical properties of solutions of nonvolatile solutes that depend only on the number of particles present in a given amount of solution, not on the nature of those particles.

What does non polar mean?
Hoochie [10]
When atoms bond together to form molecules, they share or give electrons. If the electrons are shared equally by the atoms, then there is no resulting charge and the molecule is nonpolar.
