wo natural gas samples are going to be analyzed for its helium content by mass spectrometry.

The following signals were recorded for helium standards:

He (vol%) 0.000 0.061 0.123 0.485 0.978 1.913

Signal (mV) 7.8 47.3 95.8 387.1 812.8 1547.1

a) Construct a calibration curve using EXCEL.

b) Find the equation for the straight line and state the R²

c) The unknown natural gas samples gave signals of 234.9 mV and 925.7 mV. Find the respective concentrations of helium in the two natural gas samples. Mark these two data points in your plot of the calibration curve.

Serum samples are frequently analyzed for their Na+ content. A NaCl standard solution was prepared by carefully dissolving 1.2155 g in a 10.00 mL volumetric flask. Nest, 5.00 mL of this stock was used to "spike" a 95.00 mL serum sample. This spiked sample gave a signal height of 7.98. A pure serum sample gave a signal height of 4.27. A) What is the final concentration of the added standard in the spiked sample? B) Use answer A to find...
