eva Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Hi I need someone to explain to me what I have done because I confused my self. - I have a metal complex with 12.77% Fe in it - I wanted 50 ppm concentration of it: (50 mg/L)/0.1277=391.5 mg/L - I analysed it with AAS and it gave me a conc. of 39.2 mg/L - What does this mean? Should my AAS reading have been close to 391.5 like I calculated it? I don't understand my results at all. Maybe my procedure was wrong? PLEASE HELP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UC Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Does it make any sense that a 50ppm solution of a complex is 391.5ppm of iron? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eva Posted May 31, 2010 Author Share Posted May 31, 2010 Haha i can see that I should have done 50 mg/L * 0.1277. I'm going to start again. I didn't see that and nobody else did but thank you, sometimes you need someone to point out the obvious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
