6. The potassium in the 3.0 ml plasma sample was determined by precipitating the potassium as potassium phosphotungstate, K;PW,2040. From the given amount of sample, 16.36 mg of precipitate was formed. In order to check the reliability of the determination, the analyst decided to run a reagent blank. A reagent blank is done with all the reagents and steps except for the presence of the sample. The reagent blank gave 0.12 mg of precipitate. Using the data given, calculate % K and ppm K in the plasma sample. (K = 39.10 g/mol; P = 30.97 g/mol; W = 183.84 g/mol; 0 = 16.00 g/mol)
