A river sample was analyzed for Cd2+ and Pb2+ using GFAA. 25.0 microliters of river sample gave an absorption signal for Cd2+ of 0.123 and Pb2+ of 0.159. To the river sample was added a standard stock solution containing 15.0 micrograms per liter Cd2+ and 20.0 micrograms per liter Pb2+. If 5.00 microliters of standard was added to 20.0 microliters of river water and the absorption signals were now measured at Cd2+0.225 and Pb2+0.302, what is the ppb concentration of Cd2+ in the river sample?
