In analytical chemistry, when and why do we do representative sampling?
Categorize each as a determinate or an indeterminate error and further classify determinate errors as instrumental, method or personal.d) The tip of the pipet used in the analysis is broken. e) In measuring the same peak heights of a chromatogram, two technician each report different heights.
zero absorbance or 100 %T. If not, adjust the spectrophotometer accordingly. (2) Set the wavelength of the spectrophotometer to 400 nm. . Place the stock solution (Solution 5) in a cuvet following the "blank solution procedure" as above. Measure and record the wavelength and absorbance. Scan the wavelength range of the spectrophotometer while recording absorbance values. You will need to scan manually, setting the absorbance at zero (100% T) with the blank solution (0.1 M HNO3) at EACH chosen wavelength before recording the absorbance of the stock solution. Plot the data, absorbance, A (y-axis) versus the wavelength, λ (x-axis), to determine the λmax, the wavelength where maximum absorbance occurs for the cobalt ion.

Which of the following statements about a gas chromatogram is correct? O The height of the peak in the gas chromatogram is proportional to the amount of the compound present in the sample. Tailing indicates that the gas chromatograph has been overloaded. O If the peaks are broad this could indicate that the sample is too polar. O If the peaks overlap, the temperature can be increased at a slower rate to improve resolution. O The retention time can be used to identify a compound by comparison with literature values, regardless of the conditions used.
