Answer #1

concentration of calcium in the sample = 323 ppm

Explanation

concentration of original stock solution = 1000 ppm

concentration of 1:10 diluted stock solution = 100 ppm

dilution concentration absorbance signal
1:20 5 ppm 9.1
1:10 10 ppm 18.6
1:5 20 ppm 37.0

Equation of best fit line : y = 1.8571x - 0.1

absorbance signal of sample = 23.9 = y

from the equation of best fit line,

x = (y + 0.1) / 1.8571

x = (23.9 + 0.1) / 1.8571

x = 12.9

concentration of diluted original sample = 12.9 ppm

concentration of undiluted original sample = 323 ppm
