An unknown aqueous metal analysis yielded a detector response of 0.255. When 1.00 mL of a solution containing 100.0 ppm of the metal was mixed with 99.0 mL of the unknown, the detector signal increased to 0.502. Calculate the concentration of the metal in the unknown solution. Report your answer in ppm

1.022ppm is the unknown concentration of the metal

Explanation:

Based on Lambert-Beer law, the increasing in signal of a detector is directly proportional to its concentration.

The unknown concentration (X) produces a signal of 0.255

99mL * X + 1mL * 100ppm / 100mL produces a signal of 0.502

0.99X + 1ppm produce 0.502, thus, X is:

0.255 * (0.99X + 1 / 0.502) =

X = 0.503X + 0.508

0.497X = 0.508

X =

1.022ppm is the unknown concentration of the metal

african americans demonstrated their newly found freedom by relocating often in search of relatives whom they had been separated from during slavery. others established schools to educate freed people and they built institutions such as churches and political organizations to advocate for their rights.
