3. Result Calculation

The copper content in the sample is calculated using the following formula:


Where:
  • X = Copper content in the sample, unit: milligram per kilogram (mg/kg);
  • ρ= Mass concentration of copper in the sample test solution, unit: microgram per milliliter (μg/mL);
  • ρ0= Mass concentration of copper in the blank solution, unit: microgram per milliliter (μg/mL);
  • f = Dilution factor of the digested sample solution;
  • V = Total volume of the digested sample solution, unit: milliliter (mL);
  • m = Mass of the sample, unit: gram (g).
