Selective analysis of an analyte and internal standard yielded detector responses of 3.47 and 5.23 respectively when each had a concentration of 1.00 ppm. Five mL of an unknown analyte solution were mixed with 1 mL of 5.00 ppm internal standard and then diluted to a total of 10 mL. The detector responses for analyte and internal standard for this mixture were 4.26 and 2.43. Calculate the concentration of the analyte in the unknown solution. Report your answer in ppm.

A) A researcher prepared a sample with an internal standard (Li ) to analyte (Na ) concentration ratio of 2.00/1.00. The ratio of the internal standard signal to the analyte signal (Li signal/Na signal) was found to be 1.190/1.000. Determine the response factor, F.

B) A sample was then prepared containing 12.60 mL of coffee and 6.50 mL of 5.20 ppm Li , which was then diluted to a 50.00 mL total volume. The ratio of the internal standard signal to the analyte signal in the unknown sample was found to be 0.840/1.000 (Li signal/Na signal). Determine the unknown concentration of Na (ppm) in the coffee sample.

Determining the sodium concentration in coffee with flame atomic absorption spectroscopy (FAAS) can be challenging due to interferences. To overcome these interferences, lithium is commonly used as an internal standard. A) A researcher prepared a sample with an internal standard (Li ) to analyte (Na ) concentration ratio of 2.00/1.00. The ratio of the internal standard signal to the analyte signal (Li signal/Na signal) was found to be 1.110/1.000. Determine the response factor, F.
