procedure:   
Using a stock solution of ethanol (100%), a series of standards of ethanol in water at concentration of 0,2,4,6,8,10 were prepared and 1ml of standard 1-butanol was added to each of the sample.
% ethanol   EtOH
ml   BuOH
ml   Water
ml   Total volume
ml
0   0   1   24.0   
2   0.5   1   23.5   25
4   1   1   23   25
6   1.5   1   22.5   25
8   2   1   22   25
10   2.5   1   21.5   25

•   1ul of each of the standards were injected and recorded the retention time and the corresponding peak areas for ethanol and 1-butanol.
•   1ul of supplied gripe water was injected onto the GC and recorded a chromatogram for 4min approx. and recorded the peak areas.
•   A calibration curve of peak area ratio (PAR) and ethanol concentration (%) was prepared using the data obtained from the ethanol standards.
•    The PAR for the gripe water sample was calculated and the % ethanol in the sample was determined by interpolation.
RESULT:-

   = 1.44%

Calculation
from graph
y = 0.2026x - 0.0597
1.739 = 0.2026x – 0.0597
X = 8.87
calculation

Error calculation:
 The actual alcohol % = 90%
how can i find the percentage error ..is my calculation correct or not??? i got huge error ...what i do.....plz help me

Try to reformat message using tables, now it doesn't make much sense.

Code: [Select]

[table]
[tr][td]MeOH[/td][td]HCl[/td][/tr]
[tr][td]0.1[/td][td]0.2[/td][/tr]
[tr][td]0.3[/td][td]0.4[/td][/tr]
[/table]

gives

MeOH	HCl
0.1	0.2
0.3	0.4

Much easier to follow.
