Short Answer

Refer to the table below. The table shows results from elemental analyses performed on a plant sample and a soil sample.These samples were dried prior to the analysis to remove all water.A scientist wants to use this information as the basis for identifying samples of unknown origin as either plant or soil material.Because running so many chemical tests can be time-consuming and expensive, she wants to limit future tests to one element.She would have the best chance of distinguishing between soil and plant material if she chose the element _______ for analysis.
