A 10.00‐g sample containing an analyte is transferred to a 250‐mL volumetric flask and diluted to volume. When a 10.00 mL aliquot of the resulting solution is diluted to 25.00 mL it gives signal of 0.235 (arbitrary units). A second 10.00‐mL portion of the solution is spiked with 10.00 mL of a 1.00‐ppm standard solution of the analyte and diluted to 25.00 mL. The signal for the spiked sample is 0.502. (a) Calculate the weight percent (%w/w) of analyte in the original sample. (7) (b) What calibration method was used here? Explain your answer.
