2. The absorbance of a series of standard solutions of a substance X vs concentration [X], in ppm) is measured. The data is as following: Concentration (ppm) 10.0 20.0 30.0 40.0 50.0 Absorbance 0.105 0.198 0.330 0.402 0.533 An unknown solid sample (0.1050 g) containing substance X was dissolved in 5.0 mL acidic solution and then transferred to a 100.0 mL volumetric flask and filled with deionized water to the mark. The absorbance of this solution is 0.378. What is...
When using a spectrometer to measure the absorbance as a function of concentration, why do we have to plot our calibration curve at the maximum wavelength (lambda max)? I know it's to get the highest point of absorbance and therefore ensure high sensitivity, but how does it affect my answers on the calibration curve? what if I didn't use lambda max?

You have prepared a calibration curve that relates absorbance, A, to a concentration, C, as follows: A = m·C + b. The slope of the curve is m = (34,500 ± 1,200) M-1. The intercept of the curve is b = -0.09 ± 0.02. You measure an absorbance value of 0.938 ± 0.05 for the analyte in the sample. Calculate the concentration of the analyte, the absolute uncertainty of the concentration and the relative uncertainty of the concentration. You can...
