A researcher wants to determine the concentration of beta-carotene in carrots. She obtains a 0.554 M stock solution of beta-carotene and creates Dilution A by transferring 23.00 mL of stock solution into a new container and diluting it with solvent to a final volume of 99.00 mL. She creates Dilution B by transferring 59.00 mL of stock solution into a new container and diluting it with solvent to a final volume of 73.00 mL. She creates Dilution C by transferring 8.00 mL of Dilution B into a new container and diluting it with solvent to a final volume of 25.00 mL. She measures the absorbance of each solution and obtains the values below. Plot the data in a spreadsheet software and determine the best-fit line. What is the slope of the best-fit line?

- A chemist needs to determine the concentration of a sulfuric acid solution by titration with a standard sodium hydroxide solution. He has a 0.1488 M standard sodium hydroxide solution. He takes a 25.00 mL sample of the original acid solution and dilutes it to 250.0 mL. Then, he takes a 10.00 mL sample of the dilute acid solution and titrates it with the standard solution. The endpoint was reached after the addition of 14.11 mL of the standard solution.
