Answer:
2.05mg Fe/ g sample
Explanation:
In all chemical extractions you lose analyte. Recovery standards are a way to know how many analyte you lose.
In the problem you recover 3.5mg Fe / 1.0101g sample: <em>3.465mg Fe / g sample. </em>As real concentration of the standard is 4.0 mg / g of sample the percent of recovery extraction is:
3.465 / 4×100 = <em>86,6%</em>
As the recovery of your sample was 1.7mg Fe / 0.9582g, the Iron present in your sample is:
1.7mg Fe / 0.9582g sample× (100/86.6) = <em>2.05mg Fe / g sample</em>
<em></em>
I hope it helps!
