The following conditions must be met before a standard calibration curve equation can be used to solve for the concentration of
an unknown solution: a. The same instrument must be used to measure the unknown solution as was used to measure the known (standard) solutions that were used to create the calibration curve.
b. The analyte in the unknown solution must be the same analyte (or type of analyte) that is present in the known (standard) solutions that were used to create the calibration curve.
c. The equation from the calibration curve can only be linear.
d. Domain and range restrictions must be observed.

Explanation:
Calibration curves are tools necessary in understanding the instrumental response for any analyte.
A calibration curve is obtained by preparing a set of standard solutions with known concentrations of the analyte. The instrument response for each concentration is measured and plotted against the concentration of the standard solution. The linear portion of this plot may be used to determine the unknown concentration of a sample of the analyte.
The equation of the best-fit line is used to determine the concentration of the unknown sample.
This question appears incomplete because of the absence of options. However, hydrogen is placed in group 1 because it has just one electron in it's outermost shell (which happens to be the only shell it has) just like every other group 1A/group 1 element. While helium is placed in group 8A/group 18 because it has a completely filled outermost shell (which is also the only shell it has) just like every other element in group 8A/group 18.
Short Answer: <span>Solutions of dilute, weak acids - the only kind that you might taste - are sour. Weak, dilute bases are bitter. Solutions of bases are slippery.
