In an experiment, a solution containing 0.0837 M Na+ and 0.0666 M K+ gave chromatographic peaks of 423 and 347 (arbitrary units) respectively. To analyze the unknown, 5.0 mL of 0.146 M K+ were added to 10.0 mL of the unknown and diluted to 50.0 mL with a volumetric flask. The peaks measured 553 and 582 units respectively.
a) Calculate the response factor for the analyte.
b) Find the concentration of the K+ in the 50.0 mL mixture.
c) Find the concentration of the Na+ in the 50.0 mL mixture.
d) Find the concentration of Na+ in the original unknown sample.
