Question
answer the following
1. What is a calibration curve or calibration plot?
2. According to the Beer-Lambert law absorbance is proportional
to concentration at each wavelength. In principle, one could
choose any wavelength for quantitative estimations of
concentration. However, we generally select the wavelength of
maximum absorbance for a given sample and use it in our
absorbance measurements. Especially, one should avoid the
steep portions of the spectrum. Why?
3. Which concentration range - a dilute or a concentrated one - is
chosen for accurate determinations of unknown concentrations?
