Q

Two goals of the sampling process.

A

To obtain a mean analyte concentration that is an unbiased estimate of the population mean.

To obtain a variance in the measured analyte concentration that is an unbiased estimate of population variance.

A\continuous flow approach in which samples are injected into a flowing stream containing one or more reagents.

A

Flow injection analysis (FIA)

27
Q

Determines the relationship between the analytical response and the analyte concentration.

A

Calibration

28
Q

Usually used to determine this relationship.

A

Chemical Standards

29
Q

Constituents of the sample other than the analyte.

A

Concomitants

30
Q

Concomitants that interfere with the determination of the analyte.

A

Interferents or interference

31
Q

Procedures that involve comparing a property of the analyte or the product of a reaction with the analyte with standards to determine if the property matches or nearly matches the standard.

A

Null comparison or isomation methods

32
Q

Determine whether an analyte concentration exceeds or is less than a threshold level.

A

Comparator

33
Q

In titration, the analyte reacts with a standardized reagent (the titrant) in a known stoichiometric manner until the titration reaction is complete.

A
34
Q

In external standard calibration, a series of standard solutions is prepared and used to establish the instrument calibration function from analysis of the instrument response as a function of the known analyte concentrations.

A
35
Q

A plot of instrument response versus known analyte concentrations is used to produce a calibration curve (also called a working curve).

A
36
Q

Provides a means to objectively determine the best fit line to data points, such as those in a calibration curve, and for specifying the uncertainties associated with its subsequent use.

A

Regression analysis

37
Q

The vertical deviation of each point from the straight line.

A

Residual

38
Q

The standard deviation about regression, standard error of the estimate, and standard error are all terms for the same value, which is a rough measure of the magnitude of a typical deviation from the regression line

A
39
Q

Used to correct a raw analytical response.

A

Blank

40
Q

Identical to the solvent but without the analyte but is often too difficult or impossible to prepare.

A

Ideal Blank

41
Q

Real blanks are either solvent blanks, which contain the same solvent as the sample, or reagent blanks that contain the solvent plus all the reagents used in sample preparation.

A
42
Q

Involves adding the interfering species to all the samples, standards, and blanks so that the interference effect becomes independent of the original concentration of the interfering species in the sample.

A

Saturation method

43
Q

A species that is added to samples, standards, and blanks in sufficient amounts to make the analytical response independent of the concentration of the interfering species.

A

Matrix modifier

44
Q

Reacts selectively with interfering species to form a complex that does not interfere.

A

Masking agent

45
Q

Attempts to duplicate the sample matrix by adding the major matrix constituents to the standard and blank solutions.

A

46
Q

A reference species, chemically and physically similar to the analyte that is added to samples, standards, and blanks.

A

Internal Standard

47
Q

A known amount of a reference species is added to all the samples, standards, and blanks and the measurement response is the ratio of the analyte response to the reference species response.

A

Single-point addition

48
Q

Additions of known amounts of standard analyte solution are made to several portions of the sample, and a multiple additions calibration curve is obtained.

A

Multiple addition

49
Q

It is a numerical expression representing the performance or efficiency of a given device, material, method, or procedure.

A

Figure of merit
