    Abstract: Outlier in the calibration of lead by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry (GF-AAS) has been studied with help of the statistical tool F-test and T-test. The process consisted on measuring five standard solutions with three replicate to prepare the calibration curve. Ordinary least squares method (OLSM) was used to get the equation of th... Show More

    Abstract: The Fluoride Ion Selective Electrode is an ion-selective sensor and will quickly and accurately measure fluoride ion activity rather than concentration in aqueous solutions. Fluoride ion activity depends on the solution total ionic strength and pH, and on fluoride complexing species. Adding an appropriate buffer provides a nearly uniform ionic stre... Show More
