Zinc is to be used as an internal standard for the polarographic analysis of thallium. A standard solution containing twice the concentration of zinc as Thallium has a diffusion current of 1.89 µA for Ti and 3.50 µA for Zn. A 10.0g alloy was dissolved in 500 mL, 25 mL of this solution was mixed with 25 mL of 1.0 x 10-3 M Zn 2+ solution. The diffusion currents of this final solution are 18.2µA for Tl+ and 14.5µA for Zn+. Calculate % Ti in the sample analysed
