1. Calcium in a sample solution is determined by atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS). A stock solution of calcium is prepared by dissolving 1.834 g CaCl, 2H,0 in water and diluting to 1 litre. From this stock solution, the second stock solution is prepared by the dilution factor of 10. Three standard solutions of calcium are prepared from the second stock solution with the following dilution factor: 20 (first standard solution), 10 (second standard solution) and 5 (third standard solution). A blank solution is prepared as well. Absorbance signals of AAS are as follows: 1.5 (blank solution), 10.6 (first standard solution), 20.1 (second standard solution), 38.5 (third standard solution), 29.6 (sample solution).
