#1
Front (Question)

Definition of screening

Back (Answer)

Used to identify those individuals from a population that are high risk enough to test their symptoms but too expensive to offer to anyone

#2
Front (Question)

What is a qualitative test ?

Back (Answer)

A test to find out the nature of a substance under investigation

#3
Front (Question)

What is a quantitative test ?

Back (Answer)

A test use to find out the concentration or amount of a substance

#4
Front (Question)

Analyte definition

Back (Answer)

A substance or component you want to analyse eg distinguish one molecule from a mixture of molecules

#5
Front (Question)

Selectivity definition

Back (Answer)

A basic analytical property used to distinguish between the analyte in its mixture which may interfere with the analysis

#6
Front (Question)

Specificity definition

Back (Answer)

An analytical method perfectly selective for an analyte or group of analyte

#7
Front (Question)

Sensitivity definition

Back (Answer)

It’s the ability to discriminate between small differences in the concentration of an analyte in a sample

#8
Front (Question)

Quality definition

Back (Answer)

It’s to ensure that methods work according to a particular defined state or method

#9
Front (Question)

Quality assurance definition

Back (Answer)

Makes sure that an analytical laboratory ensures the quality of its services

#10
Front (Question)

Quality control definition

Back (Answer)

Examining the laboratory and its analytical results

#11
Front (Question)

What is a systematic error ?

Back (Answer)

It’s an error relating to the equipment used and how you used it

#12
Front (Question)

How can systemic error be reduced ?

Back (Answer)

Using Better equipment Ensuring that equipment is calibrated Ensuring that the equipment is used correctly

#13
Front (Question)

What is a random error ?

Back (Answer)

An error caused to be unknown or unpredictable environmental changes

#14
Front (Question)

Examples of random errors ?

Back (Answer)

Temperature changes Electrical interference

#15
Front (Question)

How can random error be reduced?

Back (Answer)

Using better equipment Repeating the experiment Controlling ur environment around the equipment

#16
Front (Question)

What is molarity ?

Back (Answer)

The number of moles per litre of solution

#17
Front (Question)

What is molality?

Back (Answer)

The number of moles in one kg of a solution

#18
Front (Question)

What unit is used instead of dm^3 ?

Back (Answer)

Litre L

#19
Front (Question)

What is the equation linking concentration, moles and volume ?

Back (Answer)

Concentration (mol/L) = moles (M) / volume ( L)

#20
Front (Question)

Equation for molarity when changing concentrations eg diluting a solution ?

Back (Answer)

C 1 x V1 = C2 x V2

#21
Front (Question)

What is an aliquot ?

Back (Answer)

When you take a portion of the original concentration

#22
Front (Question)

What changes to the molarity equation when the there is a number in front of a molecule in an equation ?

Back (Answer)

Even if number front of one molecule you times that whole side by that number N(c1 x v1 ) = c2 x v2

#23
Front (Question)

What is the generic equation to show this ?

Back (Answer)

A (c1 x v1 ) = B ( c2 x v2 )

#24
Front (Question)

Units for molarity ?

Back (Answer)

Mol/L
