| | + | As shown in the Figure below, the Se-82/Se-76 ratio varies from -1.2% to +0.2% for plant materials but remains relatively constant for other materials. The variations in plant material has been described as being due to differences in the bacteria residing in the plant. The question to investigate is whether or not these variations in the concentration can be used to determine the provenance of the sample. |

| − | To find the mass of the selenium in the irradiated horse feed sample, we need some masses and volumes of the horse feed. A vial containing 20mL of regular horse feed was massed. The mass of the vial was 13.6406g and the total mass of the vial and the horse feed was 31.8504g. This means the mass of the horse feed is 31.8504g - 13.6406g = 18.2098g. Since this mass is in a 20mL = 0.02L container, the density of the horse feed (assuming the mass difference between the non-irradiated and the irradiated horse feed is negligible) is 18.2098g/0.02L = 910.49 g/L. Now for the irradiated horse feed the mass of the container is 25.0259g and the total mass of the container and the sample is 43.7529g. The mass of the sample then is 43.7529g - 25.0259g = 18.727g. Now using the density found before we can find the volume of the irradiated horse feed within the container. density = 910.49g/L = 18.727/V. So V = (18.727g)/(910.49g/L) = 0.0206L. The EMSL report says that there are 0.56mg/L in the horse feed, so the mass of the selenium in the horse feed sample is 0.56mg/L*(0.0206L) = 0.011536mg.
