A surface water sample of 50 ml was taken to determine the concentration of an organic pollutant in the sample. An organic solvent was used as extracting solvent. On analysis of both phases by GC-MS, the pollutant concentration (mass/vol based) in the organic phase was 5 times that found in the aqueous phase. If after the second extraction (each using 50ml fresh organic solvent) the concentration of pollutant in the organic phase was 18 ppm (mass basis), determine the initial mass of pollutant in the water sample before any extractions were carried out. The density of solvent used is 0.65 g/ml & of water is 1.0 g/ml.
