A seventh spectrophotometric method for the quantitative determination of Pb^{2+} levels in blood gives a linear internal standards calibration curve for which
\left\lgroup\frac{S_A}{S_{IS}} \right\rgroup_{stand} =(2.11 ppb^{-1})\times C_A-0.006
What is the concentration (in ppb) of Pb^{2+} in a sample of blood if (S_A/S_{IS})_{samp} is 2.80?

To determine the concentration of Pb^{2+} in the sample of blood, we replace (S_A/S_{IS})_{stand} in the calibration equation with (S_A/S_{IS})_{samp} and solve for C_A
C_A=\frac{(S_A/S_{IS})_{samp}+0.006}{2.11 ppb^{-1}} =\frac{2.80+0.006}{2.11 ppb^{-1}} =1.33 ppb
The concentration of Pb^{2+} in the sample of blood is 1.33 ppb.
