A student is analyzing a tap water sample for Mg by atomic absorption spectroscopy and has the following table of standards data: Conc. (ppm) 1.0 0.20 0.40 0.70 Absorbance 0.131 0.255 0.498 0.641 She prepared 3 dilutions of her tap water (see below). Which dilution is the best to use? Tap water dilution factor Absorbance 1:4 1:20 1:50 1.196 0.390 0.119 the 1:4 dilution is best the the 1:50 dilution is best any value could be used with equal precision the 1:20 dilution is best

After creating her standard curve for absorption versus the concentration (M) of FD&C Red 40, a student found that her best fit linear line for FD&C Red 40 was y = 2,962x + 0.005. Her Kool-Aid sample had an absorbance of 0.685. If 0.543 grams of Kool-Aid powder was used to prepare an 8-fl oz cup of her assigned flavor, what is the percent by mass of FD&C Red 40 in her 8-fl oz cup?
