BEER'S LAW, STANDARD CURVES, AND DETERMINATION OF AN UNKNOWN
The first thing we should do is calculate the actual concentration of the four standards.
Standard 1 is a 1:250 dilution of 0.027 M solution. Therefore, we determine its concentration like this:
0.027 M/250 = 0.000108 M = 0.108 mM
Standard 2 is a 2:250 dilution. Therefore,
0.027 M/125 = 0.000216 M = 0.216 mM
Standard 3 is a 4:250 dilution. Therefore, 0.027 M/62.5 = 0.000432 M = 0.432 mM
Standard 4 is a 6:250 dilution. Therefore, 0.027 M/41.66667 = 0.000648 M = ...
