Serum taken from a patient being treated with lithium for manic-depressive illness was analyzed for lithium concentration. A reading of 3.00xE2 units was obtained for the intensity of the 671 nM red emission line. Then 1.00 mL of a 11.8 mM Lithium standard was added to 9.00 mL of serum, and this spiked serum gave an intensity reading of 748 units. What is the original concentration of Li in the serum?
