A piece of Gold weighing 12,359 Kg is suspected of being contaminated with Iron. To perform an instrumental analysis and To confirm whether or not it contains Fe, a portion of the sample (0.954 g) is taken from the piece and dissolved with 25 mL of aqua regia. Heats up For its complete dissolution, it is cooled and made up to 100 mL. A 10 mL aliquot is taken from this solution and made up to 50 mL. From This last solution is given the appropriate treatment to visualize Fe+2, for which the 1,10-phenanthroline reagent is added. (it forms a complex that is red in color) and is taken to a visible spectrophotometer and with a 12 mm cell a absorbance of 0.45. Previously, a calibration curve of Fe+2 was obtained under the same instrumental conditions obtaining the following data:
