In the determination of Pb in a contaminated fishmeal, 5.08 g of sample was weighed. Digestion with acids was applied and brought to dryness. Then it was made up to 10 mL and the absorbance was measured, obtaining a value of 0.013. The concentrations of the calibration curve made in ug/L are: 0.011; 0.022; 0.042 and 0.084 and the absorbances are: 0.001; 0.004; 0.009 and 0.020. Calculate the concentration of Pb in the sample in ug/kg and the % of Pb in the fishmeal.
