A32. Solution to Chemistry Problem #11050

The herbicide, cotoran, was extracted from 100.00 ml of wastewater with chloroform. The extract was evaporated, transferred to a cuvette and titrated at 290 nm with an acetic acid solution of HClO4 T(HClO4/cotoran) = 0.0003000 g/ml. Calculate the concentration of mg/l cotoran in water based on the following results:
Option 2
