Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
You conduct an extraction of a solid sample with a known analyte concentration. If you start with 200 mg and recover 30 mg after extraction, calculate the recovery percentage.
💡 Hint: Use the recovery formula to solve.
A calibration curve indicates that samples should yield a response of 5000 units for an analyte concentration of 25 mg/L. If a sample yields 10,000 units, what is the concentration of the analyte?
💡 Hint: What kind of relationship does this suggest between response and concentration?
