A student was given a stock aluminum(III) solution with a concentration of 5.000 parts per million (ppm). (ppm are defined as mg/L for dilute aqueous solutions.) The student prepared five 100 mL standard solutions and an unknown as described in the procedure section of the experiment. The absorbance of each solution was read at 565 nm, using the blank to set zero absorbance. The results are tabulated below. Solution Volume of Al(III) stock solution used (mL) Absorbance 1 8.00 0.701  2 6.00  0.548 3 4.00  0.378  4 2.00  0.208  5 1.00  0.123  Unknown ---  0.534 3. What is your best estimate of the Al(III) concentration of the unknown sample in the cuvet based upon where its absorbance falls on the standard curve?
