Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
You are tasked with monitoring pollutants in a river. Given a measured concentration of 0.02 mg/L and an instrument with a detection limit of 0.05 mg/L, discuss the implications of your reading.
💡 Hint: Consider how detection limits relate to practical measurements.
A researcher uses a UV spectrometer to analyze a soil sample for heavy metals. The expected concentration is 0.1 mg/L. Explain how the choice of sample volume might impact their analysis.
💡 Hint: How does volume relate to the ability to detect lower concentrations?
