0.0123 g of the powder from the tablet ( 1.4770g) was transferred to a 100 mL volumetric flask. 20 mL of 1M hydrochloric acid was added to the flask. The volume in the flask was then made up to the mark with deionized water which was filtered. 40 mL of the filtrate and 4 mL of a lanthanum chloride solution were placed into a large test tube. Half of the prepared sample was spiked with a 20 mg/L calcium standard. The calibration standards and the unknown sample solutions were then measured for calcium concentration at 422.7 nm with flame atomic absorption spectroscopy. Each tablet is stated by the manufacturer to contain 500 mg of calcium.
