 Water samples were analyzed for Hg using a Cold Vapor Atomic

Water samples were analyzed for Hg using a Cold Vapor Atomic Fluorescence Spectrophotometer (CVAFS). Calibration against standards yield the following equation: Y=1.15CHg+0.025 Where, Y is the instrument response and CHg is the concentration of Hg in mg/L. Ten blank samples were analyzed, giving a mean value of 0.28 and a standard deviation of 0.008. Five replicate measurements of 1.0g/L showed a standard deviation of 0.01. Show your work (upload excel). 1. What is the calibration sensitivity? 2. What is the analytical sensitivity at 1.0g/mL ? 3. What is the LOD? 4. What is the LO
