"Low concentrations of dioxin near the detection limit gave the following dimensionless instrument readings: 193.3, 156.5, 150.3, 162.3, 207.3, 148.1, 211.1, 189.7, 122.7, and 193.5. Ten blanks had a mean reading of 47.3. The slope of the calibration curve is 2.55 × 10x9 M–1. Estimate the signal and concentration detection limits and the lower limit of quantitation for dioxin."
I know the signal detection limit is yblank + 3s and the concentration limit is 3s/m, but what is ysample to calculate m?

Using the Line-Angle structure of morphine, circle or highlight all polar regions of the molecule. Make a reasonable prediction about whether your molecule will be soluble in water or not. Explain your reasoning. If the drug seems to be borderline in molecular polarity, making it difficult to predict solubility, explain your reasoning and the difficulty involved. Compare your predictions with the solubility information on the literature.

Liquid (anhydrous) ammonia, NH3(l), with a boiling point of –33 °C, is often used as an alternate solvent to water. It forms strong hydrogen bonds and the polar molecules can solvate ionic compounds. Anhydrous ammonia also undergoes autoionization. Therefore, there can be acidic, neutral, or basic species in solutions of liquid ammonia.
a) Write the chemical equation, using the Brønsted‐Lowry perspective, that describes the autoionization of NH3(l). (Hints: for water this equation is 2H2O(l) ⇌ H3O+(aq) + OH–(aq); X(am) denotes a solute solvated by ammonia)
b) Identify the species in pure NH3(l) that can act as Brønsted acids and as Brønsted bases. (There are more than one for each case.)
c) Write the equilibrium expression for the autoionization constant Kam of liquid ammonia.
d) At 50°C, the autoionization constant of ammonia Kam is 1030. What are the conditions for “neutral”,
“acidic”, and “basic” liquid ammonia solutions at 50°C?
e) Propose a quantity, analog to the pH, that indicates the acidity of a liquid ammonia solution.
f) For each of these compounds: NH4Cl, LiNH2, KOH, N(CH3)3, when dissolved in liquid ammonia, identify whether it gives rise to an "acidic" solution or a "basic" solution. Write out the chemical equilibrium that shows how it behaves as an acid or a base in NH3(l).
