Please guide me : i have 0.5 grams of solid waste sample. It is acid digested and then diluted to 500 ml. This is tested for chromium by atomic absorption and the conc came out to be .243 mg/l. what will be the actual concentration in the solid sample?
Thus, the solid waste sample's chromium percentage is

To calculate the actual concentration of chromium in the solid sample, you need to use the dilution factor. First, convert the concentration from mg/L to mg/mL. Then, multiply the concentration by the dilution factor, which is the ratio of the final volume to the initial volume. Finally, convert the result back to grams. The calculation is as follows:
Concentration in mg/mL = 0.243 mg/L = 0.243 mg/0.5 L = 0.486 mg/mL
Dilution factor = Final volume / Initial volume = 500 mL / 0.5 mL = 1000
Actual concentration in the solid sample = Concentration in mg/mL * Dilution factor = 0.486 mg/mL * 1000 = 486 mg/kg

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
