µg <strong>of</strong> Sn present in test solution X Dilution factor<br />

Tin content <strong>of</strong> sample = -----------------------------------------------------------<br />

mgm/ kg<br />

Weight in grams <strong>of</strong> sample taken<br />

Preparation <strong>of</strong> St<strong>and</strong>ard Curve:<br />

Pipette 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 <strong>and</strong> 5 ml <strong>of</strong> the Tin working st<strong>and</strong>ard solution (n –<br />

ii) into six separatory funnels <strong>and</strong> add sufficient 4.5M sulphuric acid<br />

solution to bring the total volume to 50 ml. Follow the steps 2 to 9 under<br />

“Determination” <strong>and</strong> note the absorbance <strong>of</strong> each st<strong>and</strong>ard.<br />

Calculate the linear expression (Y = a + bX) relating the Tin content <strong>of</strong><br />

the st<strong>and</strong>ard (X) to the measured absorbance (Y). Plot the calibration graph<br />

corresponding to the calculated linear regression.<br />

Note: Whenever the absorbance measured for the blank/st<strong>and</strong>ard zero<br />

exceed 0.070, reagent solutions should be renewed.<br />
