Mass spectrometry is an extremely versatile detection system for GC. However, interfacing an HPLC system to a mass spectrometer is a much more difficult task. Describe the major reasons why it is more difficult to combine HPLC with mass spectrometry than it is to combine GC with mass spectrometry.
In the analysis conducted with flame AAS, standard solutions of the X-type are analyzed individually and the absorbance values obtained are plotted against concentration (ppm). It was seen that the slope of the calibration line obtained was 0.0925. The standard deviation of the absorbance values obtained by reading the blank 10 times under the same conditions was calculated as 0.00183 ppm. According to this; For the X-type calculate the following: a) LOD b) LOQ c) Sensitivity
Mass spectral measurements were made on 10 replicate low concentration Ni-EDTA samples: 171.7, 119.0, 132.5, 147.5, 116.5, 185.9, 137.5, 142.1, 131.5, and 149.1 counts. Ten measurements of a blank had a mean measurement of 41.5 counts. A sample containing 2.00 µM Ni-EDTA gave a measurement of 1719 counts. Estimate the signal and concentration detection limits for Ni-EDTA. signal detection limit: counts concentration detection limit: µM
A spectrophotometer method for the quantitative analysis of Pb2+ in blood uses Cu2+ as an internal standard. A standard containing 1.75 ppb Pb2+ and 2.25 ppb Cu2+ yields a signal of 0.832 for Pb2+ and a signal of 0.351 for Cu2+. A sample of blood is spiked with the same concentration of Cu2+, giving a signal of 0.520 for Pb2+ and 0.289 for Cu2+. Determine the concentration of Pb2+ in the sample of blood.

Exactly 5.00 mL aliquots of a solution containing analyte X were transferred into 50.00-mL volumetric flasks and the pH of the solution is adjusted to 9.0. The following volumes of a standard solution containing 2.00 µg/mL of X were then added into each flask and the mixture was diluted to volume: 0.000, 0.500, 1.00, 1.50 and 2.00 mL.

Inductively coupled plasma–optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) was used for the determination of cadmium using indium as an internal standard. A solution containing 2.15 ppm Cd2+ and 5.76 ppm In3+ gave signals of 19,291 and 37,190 counts for cadmium and indium, respectively. A 0.01652 g sample was dissolved in acid and quantitatively transferred to a 250.0 mL volumetric flask. A 1.00 mL aliquot of 264.5 ppm In3+ was added and the flask was diluted to volume with deionized water. ICP-OES analysis of the sample solution gave signals of 31,109 and 118,941 counts for cadmium and indium, respectively. What was concentration of the Cd2+ in the sample?
