She prepared 5 different standards of Fe2(SO4)3 using the table below as her guide. She ran the standards and the unknown solution through UV-VIS spectroscopy and recorded the absorbances of each solution. HINT: use the dilution equation to determine the concentration of Fe2(SO4)3 in each test tube before preparing the standard curve. NOTE: No need to force the line to pass through zero. Just graph the data as is. What is the slope of the line of the standard curve from the given data? What is the concentration of the unknown solution?arrow_forwardWhile performing absorbance measurements of standard solutions, Taranpreet used - 8 mL of solution in the cuvette for each determination. She then repeated the same measurements using - 6 mL of solution In the cuvette for each determination, For each set of measurements, she used the same spectrometer with the same cuvette, and assume that for each set of measurements the cuvette was filled high enough such that the light from the spectrometer passed through the solution. Which statement is true? O a) Using a lower volume in the cuvette will have no effect on the measured values O b) Using a lower volume in the cuvette will result in a smaller slope for the calibration curve c) Using a lower volume in the cuvette will result in a lower concentration of analyte determined in the unknown sample O d) Using a higher volume in the cuvette may result in absorbance values that are above the detection range of the spectrometer O e) Using a higher volume in the cuvette may result in a…arrow_forward
