1. a) In Ghana, it has been noticed that adulteration of palm oil with carcinogenic dyes are on the rise. Use your knowledge in analytical processes to systematically outline a protocol you will follow to process adulterated palm oil to gain qualitative and quantitative information spectroscopically about any added toxic dye. Explain also the basis for your protocol of choice. b) Many rivers in Ghana are affected by illegal small-scale mining. Studies have revealed extremely high deposits of heavy metals and particulate matter in rivers, making them unwholesome for drinking. With your knowledge on analytical separation and analyses, outline a suitable analytical separation protocol that can be employed to recover polluted river bodies and make them wholesome for drinking. c) Describe how you would prepare the following solutions: i. 1L of 0.10 M NaOH using sodium hydroxide pellets. ii. 1L of 150.0 ppm Cu2+ using Cu metal. iii. 1L of 4% v/v acetic acid using glacial acetic acid.
