Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
You have a 1L water sample with an initial surrogate concentration of 100 µg/L. If after analysis you recover 80 µg, what is your recovery percentage?
💡 Hint: Use the recovery formula.
If you began with a 10 µg/L surrogate in a 40 mL extraction and found 0.5 µg in the final 1 mL, what was your initial concentration in the entire 1L sample?
💡 Hint: Think about how concentration scales with volume.
