Gold can be determined in solutions containing high concentrations of diverse ions by ICP. Aliquots of 50.0 mL of the sample solution were transferred to each of four 100.0 mL volumetric flasks. A solution was prepared containing 10.0 mg/L Au in 20% H2SO4, and quantities of this solutions were added to the sample solution to give 0, 2.5, 5 and 10 mg/L added Au in each of the flask. The solutions were made up to a total volume of 100.0 mL, mixed and analyzed by ICP. The resulting data are presented in the following table: Added Au (mg/L) Emission Intensity (Counts) 0.0 12568 2.5 19324 5.0 26622 10.0 40021 a) Attach an excel graph for the determination showing the X intercept. b) Calculate the concentration of gold in the sample, report with its uncertainty.

a) Attach an excel graph for the determination showing the X intercept.
b) Calculate the concentration of gold in the sample, report with its uncertainty.
c) The known concentration of gold in the sample is 8.51 mg/L. Test the hypothesis that your result is equal to this value at the 95% confidence level. l
