Question

You make dilutions of curcumin stock solution and measure the absorbance of each dilution to obtain the following data: Conc. (M) Abs. 1.60E-05 1.93 1.21E-05 1.62 8.09E-06 1.08 4.04E-06 0.44 2.02E-06 0.13 Which data points should you keep when making your calibration curve? Choose all that apply. (Hint: Plot the data.)

Answer 1

Answer:

The following data point should be kept when making your calibration.

1.21E-05 M

1.60E-05 M

8.09E-06 M

4.04 E-06 M

Explanation:

From the graph it is obvious that the reading for the concentration 2.02E-06 M does not fall on the straight line. So this point should not be taken to construct the calibration plot.

Find attached of the graph.
