A student determined fluoride in a toothpaste sample using ion chromatography. A toothpaste sample of mass 0.100 g was dissolved in type I water and then quantitatively filtered through a Whatman #1 filter paper into a clean 100 ml volumetric flask. The flask was then made up to volume with type I water and mixed thoroughly. A portion of the solution was filtered through a 0.45 um filter into a sample vial for analysis. Analysis of the sample gave a fluoride concentration of 1.60 mg/l Calculate the % w/w fluoride in the original toothpaste sample. (Give your answer to 3 decimal places please)
