Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
You are given a series of absorbance data for a solution: 0.12, 0.25, 0.45, 0.60. If these correspond to concentrations of 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0 M, determine the slope of the calibration curve and predict the concentration for an unknown sample with an absorbance of 0.38.
💡 Hint: Identify how changes in absorbance relate to changes in concentration.
An unknown solution gives an absorbance of 0.87 and has associated uncertainties of ±0.02. If the calibration curve slope is 0.45 with an uncertainty of ±0.01, calculate the concentration of the unknown and the propagated uncertainty.
💡 Hint: Follow the steps for uncertainty propagation diligently.
