A solution was prepared by mixing 1.00 mL of unknown (X) with 5.00mL of standard (S) containing 8.24 μg S/mL and diluting to 50.0 mL. The measured signal quotient (signal due to X/signal due to S) was 1.69. In a separate experiment, it was found that, for equal concentrations of X and S, the signal due to X was 0.930 times as intense as the signal due to S. Find the concentration of X in the unknown
signal X is 0.93 times signal S when concentrations are same
Let X conc be [X] and S conc be [S]
given signal of X / signal of S = 1.69
hence 0.93 [X] /[S] = 1.69
[X]/[S] = 1.817
S mass =8.24 ug/ml x 5 ml = 41.2 ug
[S] = 41.2 ug /50 ml = 0.824 ug /ml
hence by ratio [X]/ 0.824 = 1.817
[X] = 1.4974 = ug of X / 50 ml
ug of X ( mass of X in ug) = 74.87 alll this X is due to 1ml added
Hence [X] = 74.87 ug of X /ml
