The method of standard additions was used to determine nitrite in a soil sample. A 1.00-mL portion

Question:

The method of standard additions was used to determine nitrite in a soil sample. A 1.00-mL portion of the sample was mixed with 24.00 mL of a colorimetric reagent, and the nitrite was converted to a colored product that produced a blank-corrected absorbance of 0.300. To 50.00 mL of the original sample, 1.00 mL of a standard solution of 1.00 x 10-3 M nitrite was added. The same color-forming procedure was followed, and the new absorbance was 0.530. What was the concentration of nitrite in the original undiluted sample?
