Determining concentration of mercury using absorbance values


Assignment:

A sample of 1.500g of gold was analyzed to determine mercury in the same one. It was come by the method of standard addition preparing solution a standard Hg mercury (II) putting under it conditions similar to the one of the sample:

Standard solution:  An amount of 50 mg of pure mercury becomes to Hg (II) and  is added solvent (H20) until completing 250 mililiter of solution. From this solution an aliquot one of 5 ml is taken  and is  diluted with solvent up to 100 ml  on a volumetric matraz = STOCK

Solution of Sample: The sample of 1.500g of gold was treated, obtaining mercury like Hg (II) and diluted in matraz of 500 ml. Of this solution pull out an aliquot one of 10ml and  diluted to 250 ml with solvent in matraz volumetric. This completes is used for the analysis.
The procedure generates the following data:
