Distinguish raw data, treated data, and results.

Short Answer

Expert verified
  • Raw data are the unprocessed measurements collected from the specimens being studied.
  • Treated data are the concentrations found from the raw data with the use of calibration procedures.
  • Results are the reported data after the application of various statistical analyses to the treated data.

Step by step solution

01

Raw data, Treated data and results

Raw data:

Raw data are data's which can be measured directly.

Examples such as peak area in a chromatogram or volume from a burette.

Treated data:

When the raw data applied using calibration methods the resultant data obtained is known as treated data.

Results:

Results are ultimate reports that we report after the application of statistical methods (mean, standard deviation) to the Treated data.

Standard addition. An unknown sample of Ni2+gave a current of 2.36ฮผAin an electrochemical analysis. When 0.500mLof solution containing role="math" localid="1654761474124" 0.0187MNi2+was added to 25.0mLof unknown, the current increased to 3.79ฮผA.

(a) Denoting the initial, unknown concentration as [Ni2+], write an expression for the final concentration, [Ni2+]f, after role="math" 25.0mLof unknown were mixed with 0.500mLof standard. Use the dilution factor for this calculation.

(b) In a similar manner, write the final concentration of added standard Ni2+, designated as [S]f.

(c) Find[Ni2+]in the unknown.

Why is it desirable in the method of standard addition to add a small volume of concentrated standard rather than a large volume of dilute standard?

Chloroform is an internal standard in the determination of the pesticide DDT in a polarographic analysis in which each compound is reduced at an electrode surface. A mixture containing 0.500mMchloroform and0.800mMDDT gave signals of15.3ฮผAfor chloroform and10.1ฮผAfor DDT. An unknown solution(10.0mL)containing DDT was placed in a100-mLvolumetric flask and10.2ฮผLof chloroform (FM 119.39, density=1.484g/mL)were added. After dilution to the mark with solvent, polarographic signals of and8.7ฮผAwere observed for the chloroform and DDT, respectively. Find the concentration of DDT in the unknown.

A solution containing3.47mMX(analyte) and1.72mMS(standard) gave peak areas of3473and 10222,respectively, in a chromatographic analysis. Then1.00mLof 8.47mMSwas added to5.00mLof unknownX,and the mixture was diluted to10.00mL. This solution gave peak areas of5428and4431forXandS, respectively.

(a) Calculate the response factor for the analyte.

(b) Find the concentration of S(mM)inthe10.0-mLmixture.

(c) Find the concentration of X(mM)inthe10.0-mLmixture.

(d) Find the concentration ofXintheorignalunknown.
