The nickel level in a soil sample was determined using AAS. A 3.0 g sample was dissolved in acid and then diluted to a total volume of 100.0 mL. The absorbance of this solution determined at a wavelength of 232 nm, was found to be0.3. Several standard solutions were tested under the same conditions and a calibration curve shown below was obtained. Calculate the mass of nickel in mg.
A student creates a sports drink by dissolving 5.0 g of powder in 250 mL of water. The green colour of the drink is due to the presence Green Dye X, which has a lambdamax of 630 nm.
