Definition
Use standards, but the measurer doesn't know that.
Term
Control chart
Definition
Visual representation of confidence intervals for a Gaussian distribution. Warns observer whether values stray dangerously from the standard.

Internal: Known quantity of non analyte is added.

Term
When are internal standards useful?
Definition
When quantity of sample analyzed or instrument reponse varies from time to time because of uncontrollable conditions.

Term
What is ionic strength? How is ionic strength increased?
Definition
Total concentration of ions in solution. Inert salt is added.
Term
As ka increases
Definition
