The method of standard additions was used to determine nitrite in a soil sample. A 1.00-mL portions of the soil extract sample was transferred to four 25-mL volumetric flasks. To each flask, increment volumes of a 1.00 x10-3M nitrite was added according to the table below. A colorimetric reagent was added to each flask to convert the nitrite into a colored product, and finally diluted to volume. What is the concentration of the nitrite in the soil extract based on the absorbance data below (with blank correction included)? Vol. of standard nitrite added, ml Absorbance 5.00 0.079 10.00 0.161 15.00 0.236 20.00 0.318 25.00 0.403
