An environmental chemist working for the environmental protection agency (epa) was directed to collect razor clams from a heavily-contaminated river superfund site and analyze them for cadmium (cd2 ) content using graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry (gfaas). the chemist dried the clams at 95° c overnight and ground them in a scientific blender, resulting in ~ 50 g of homogenized dry weight. a representative 64.00 mg sample was taken from the ~ 50 g of dry material and dissolved in 100.00 ml of 0.1 m hcl to create a sample solution. using the method of standard additions, the chemist prepared five standard solutions in 100.00-ml volumetric flasks, each containing 5.00-ml aliquots of the sample solution. varying amounts of a 89.0 ppb (μg ·l-1) cadmium standard were added to each of the flasks, which were then brought to volume with 0.1 m hcl. the solutions were then examined for their cd2 content using gfaas, resulting in the following absorbance data.
