5. A water analyst uses NH4K2PO4 to prepare standards for NH4+, K and P analyses.
(a) What weight of the compound is required to make 1.00 dm3 of a 100 ppm K standard?
(b) What volumes of this stock are required to prepare 100 cm3 each of:
i a solution containing 10 ppm NH4+,
ii a solution containing 25 ppm of P.
[Hint for (b): work out first how many moles of salt were dissolved to make the solution in (a); hence for (i) calculate the ppm for NH4+ in the original stock, then use the equation for dilution:
(ppm)1xV1=(ppm)2xV
