Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given that a scale can measure down to 0.01 grams and your sample concentration is 0.05 grams in a total sample volume of 5L, how would you prepare it to get measurable results? Discuss your approach.

💡 Hint: Consider the relationship between volume and concentration.

Question 2

If you are repeatedly measuring a solution that is known to have an analyte, but the readings are fluctuating widely. How would you determine if this is due to instrument error or the nature of the sample?

💡 Hint: Think about the importance of controls and standards in experiments.
