Question

A chemist prepared a reagent blank and 6 Fe standards with the following concentrations: 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, and 70 ppm. The table below shows the average reading of each run in the UV-Vis spectrophotometer.

 

Concentration (ppm)------------------------Absorbance (au)

20--------------------------------------------------0.121

30--------------------------------------------------0.302

40--------------------------------------------------0.468

50--------------------------------------------------0.573

60--------------------------------------------------0.696

70--------------------------------------------------0.845

Blank----------------------------------------------0.04

 

Which of the following is the correct equation for the calibration curve?

 
  1. y = 0.01402 x – 0.1700

     
  2. y = 0.01402 x – 0.1300

     
  3. y = -0.1300 x + 0.01402

     
  4. y = -0.1700 x + 0.01402
