No graphs could be created for the standards using diethyl ether as a solvent. If atleast 3 retention areas were given for the standards in each solvent then I would be able to create graphs that related the concentration (in ppm) versus retention area and fromthere found a line of regression to show the linear relationship. I could only graph Eugenol in Hexane.1. Compare the concentrations of the standard analytes vs. the extracted analytes for hexane (Remember you have 4 analytes) 0 0 0 0.01 0.01 0.01 0.01 0.01024681012f(x) = 0R² = 0Calibration curve for Eugenol in Hexaneconcentration (ppm)Peak Area Ext.

Plugging in that number in fory in the linear regression equation will yield x. X is our concentration of analyte in the hexane extraction. X=0.0031ppm. Comparing the 0.0031ppm concentration to Eugenol’s set of standard concentration2. Compare the concentrations of the standard analytes vs. the extracted analytes for diethylether (Remember you have 4 analytes)No graphs could be created due to lack of comparable retention areas for the standards therefore we could not compared any value to the diethyl extraction. If I had retention areas available, I would do the same steps as stated previously in question 1 where I would use the regression equation to solve for x and then compare that concentration with the set standard concentrations.3. Compare the extraction efficiency of each organic solvent for all analytes (Remember you still have 4 analytes) This is not practical because each group used different analytes and weighed different amounts of analyte to make their standard set of concentrations for each analyte. Getting each groups data would be a hard task to undergo.But lets say if everyone used the same analytes and the same masses one could perform a t-test comparing our extraction concentrations for each analyte to their extraction concentration for each analyte in the two solvents at the 95% confidence interval to see if the values are statistically differentor statistically the same. From there we could either accept or reject the null hypothesis. If the null hypothesis was rejected for the data not being significantly the same, one would have to accept the alternate hypothesis that would state the data was significantly different at the 95% confidence interval.The hardest part of the lab was not getting retention areas for each of the analyte.4. Make a recommendation regarding which solvent is “better” in this context and why (include numerical rationale). Looking at the class data, I would recommend hexane as the better solvent because it yielded more retention times for everyone than diethyl ether. To compare the solvents using numerical data one would need us to perform t-tests but we did not perform the t-tests to get numerical values to support my
