The selenium content in a 0.110 g soil sample was converted to the fluorescent product
and extracted in 50.0 mL of cyclohexane. The method of standard additions was used to determine the selenium content in the
soil sample. Initially, 3.00 mL of the cyclohexane solution were placed in a cuvette for fluorescence determination. Several small
additions of a 1.88 µg Se/mL standard solution containing the fluorescent product were added to the 3.00 mL solution in the
cuvette. The fluorescence was measured at 518 nm. The results are shown in the table.
