Using the data from the standard curve done previously, you record the absorbance of your extracted milk protein sample at 0.499 at 540nm. What is the mass of the protein in mg assuming you collected 10mL worth of the protein? Your standard curve should have a line of best fit with the equation y=0.0001x+0.0038.
