True/False

2. When does the titration endpoint occur in the Vitamin C analysis lab (be specific)?

3. An unknown sample is initially analyzed and found to have a peak intensity of 3250 counts. A 10 ppm standard of the same sample shows a peak intensity of 1250 counts. What is the concentration of the unknown sample?

4. What is the primary use of the chromatograms from a GC-MS instrument?

5. What is the concentration, in ppm, that results when 5 mg of a compound is dissolved in 2000 grams of solvent?

Explanation / Answer
