A standard solution contains 100 ppm of Fe, which was found to have an absorbance of 0.151 au at 508 nm after the addition of 1,10-phenanthroline, pH 4 buffer, and hydroxylamine. Then, a water sample treated similarly exhibited an absorbance of 0.109 au. Which of the following statements is true? The Fe concentration of the water sample is higher than 100 ppm. It is impossible to estimate the Fe content of the water sample from information presented. The Fe concentration of the water sample is lower than 100 ppm. The Fe concentration of the water sample is equal to 100 ppm.
