Imagine that you are working as a biomedical engineer in the hospital. At an emergency situation somehow, hospital lost all of its equipment for sterilization. However, there are several different types of disinfectants that are not sporicidal at the concentrations that are used for disinfection. You are asked to develop a strategy to sterilize metallic surgical instrument. What would your strategy be? Please explain and give reasons.

A chemist obtained the following data for percent lindane in the triplicate analysis of an insecticide preparation: 7.23, 6.95, and 7.53%. Calculate the 90% confidence interval for the mean of the the three data, assuming that (a) the only information about the precision of the method is the precision for the three data. (b) on the basis of long experience with the method, it is believed that s---->σ lindane. (c) If s=0.28 is good estimate of σ, how many replicate measurement should be made in order for the mean for the analysis of sample to be within 0.2% of the true mean 90% of the time.
What is the concentration of ions in the soil solution after fertilizer application? Suppose that 122 pounds of K+ were applied per acre, then a gentle rain soaked the top 10 inches of soil to field capacity, which for the given soil was about 16% water by volume. If the K+ was applied as KCl, it is plausible that it all dissolved and distributed relatively uniformly with the infiltrating water. If so, then what was the K+ concentration in the soil solution in mol K+/L solution? Note that the volume can be computed like we do for an acre-furrow-slice (AFS), as area times depth. This is going to be a relatively small number, so please report your answer in mol K+/L solution to at least 5 decimal places.

In the determination of iron in fortified cereals by atomic absorption, 0.9133 g of sample was weighed. After a previous treatment, it was dissolved and diluted to 100 mL, an aliquot of 25.0 mL was taken, this was diluted to 100 mL and this solution presented an absorbance reading of 0.251. A series of iron standards of the following concentrations were prepared: 0.0; 1.0; 2.0; 2.5 and 3.0 ppm. Whose absorbances were 0.0; 0.241; 0.405; 0.520 and 0.640. Determine the iron concentration in mg/100 g of sample.
