Single point internal standard method uses a relative response factor(s) for the calculation of the amount of analyte in the unknown sample. Suppose that when calculating the RRF for 1-butanol, you used the stock 2- propanol concentration for the calculation instead of the diluted amount in the standards but you used the correct 2- propanol concentration when calculating the amount of 1-butanol in the diluted replicate samples. (4) a) Explain how this error would affect the accuracy of your final result for 1-butanol with respect to the true value. b) Explain how this would affect the precision of your final result?
