4. A new method for the determination of mercury in fish was tested against a N.I.S.T. standard to determine if there was any bias (determinate error) in the new technique. The N.I.S.T. standard fish sample was certified to contain 13.55 ppm Hg. The results of six analyses by the new method gave a mean value of 14.15 ppm and s.d. = 0.42 ppm. Does the new method give accurate results at the 95% confidence level?

The standard addition method is used to analyze a sample of a river water for mercury. Solution A is made by pipetting 5.00 mL of undiluted sample in to a 10 mL volumetric flask and filling to the mark with D water. Solution B is made by pipetting 5.00 mL of undiluted sample and 3.00 mL of 15.0 ppb of Hg standard into same 10.0 mL volumetric flask and filling to the mark with DI. Solution A and B are analyzed using atomic absorption spectroscopy and give a percent transmittance values of 56 % and 33 % respectively (not blank corrected). A blank has a transmittance of 96%. Which of the following technique can be used to determine the amount of mercury in the undiluted sample of river water? O A. IR spectroscopy O B. Cold vapor atomic absorption OC.

The homogeneity of the chloride level in a water sample from a lake was tested by analyzing por- tions drawn from the top and from near the bottom of the lake, with the following results in ppm CI: Top 26.30 Bottom 26.22 26.43 26.32 26.28 26.20 26.19 26.11 26.49 26.42 (a) Apply the i test at the 95% confidence level to determine if the means are different. (b) Now use the paired / test and determine whether there is a significant difference between the top and bottom values at the 95% confidence level. (c) Why is a different conclusion drawn from using the paired i test than from just pooling the data and using the normal i test for differences in means?

Anna analyzed arsenic content on a fish purchased from local wet market. According to Food Regulation 1985, permissible level for arsenic in fish and fishery product is 1 ppm. In this study, an average of 11.4 2.1 ng/g was obtained based on six sample replicates. Suggest a suitable analytical instrument to be used in this analysis and draw a conclusion on the safety of arsenic content of this fish sample.
