 this is the question:
 predict the ethanol percentage in vodka sample (0.7mL) and provide a uncertainty in the predicted value ?

the vodka sample was combined with a 40% 1-propanol solution, we used 0.7mL 1-propanol and used 0.7mL of vodka, according to the GC Plot that we got,
 the ethanol in Vodka                            The 1-propanol
Area % = 9.883                                Area % = 7.264
Height (µV.Min) = 1178.4                   Height (µV.Min) = 734.5
Area (µV.Min) = 12.7                         Area (µV.Min) = 9.3
Retention time = 1.09Min                   Retention time = 1.2

so from here were do i even start, since i need the (v/v)% ethanol
the equation for (v/v)% = (Volume of solute)/ (Total Volume of solution)
but i cant use this since i dont know the volume of ethanol in vodka at 0.7mL
maybe somebody can point in the right direction on how to solve this
Thx

You don't know exactly how much ethanol there is, but you do know exactly how much iso-propanol there is, right?  And you got an area for IPA, right.  So you can compare the two.  You want a tough chromatography problem, look at this one:  http://www.chemicalforums.com/index.php?topic=25535.msg96375#msg96375
