Question
Please try to give type solution fast i will rate for sure
4. A pesticide analysis was performed on blackberries from a local farm. To validate the analysis,
a spike-and-recovery experiment was done. 100.0 µL of a 100.0 µg/mL solution of the
pesticide atrazine was added to a 50.0 g sample of (dried) blackberry fruit. The concentration
of malathion in the unspiked fruit, by a separate analysis, was found to be 25.0 ng/g, and the
concentration of atrazine malathion in the spiked blackberry sample was 200.0 ng/g. What
was the % recovery of this spike and recovery sample? You can assume that the 100.0 µL
spike does not add significant mass to the spiked blackberry sample.
a) 100%
b) 112.5%
c) 12.5%
d) 87.5%
e) None of these are correct
