R Dataset / Package datasets / Formaldehyde
On this R-data statistics page, you will find information about the Formaldehyde data set which pertains to Determination of Formaldehyde. The Formaldehyde data set is found in the datasets R package. You can load the Formaldehyde data set in R by issuing the following command at the console data("Formaldehyde"). This will load the data into a variable called Formaldehyde. If R says the Formaldehyde data set is not found, you can try installing the package by issuing this command install.packages("datasets") and then attempt to reload the data with the library() command. If you need to download R, you can go to the R project website. You can download a CSV (comma separated values) version of the Formaldehyde R data set. The size of this file is about 76 bytes.
Determination of Formaldehyde
Description
These data are from a chemical experiment to prepare a standard curve for the determination of formaldehyde by the addition of chromatropic acid and concentrated sulphuric acid and the reading of the resulting purple color on a spectrophotometer.
Usage
Formaldehyde
Format
A data frame with 6 observations on 2 variables.
[,1] | carb | numeric | Carbohydrate (ml) |
[,2] | optden | numeric | Optical Density |
