4. To analyze the Cu(NO3)2 unknown solution in Part 3, your group constructed a plot of absorbance vs. concentration, commonly called a calibration curve or standard curve. The absorbance at the top of the peak (i.e., at the wavelength of maximum absorbance) was chosen for these measurements. What is the potential advantage of using the wavelength of maximum absorbance, rather than some other wavelength? Can you think of a situation in which you might want to choose a different wavelength? (Hint: Scientists often do not have the luxurý of analyzing pure substances dissolved in distilled water!)

Refer to the posted calibration curve ... Note that this calibration curve can be read to the 4th decimal place. A 0.4567 g sample of a ruthenium containing ore was dissolved in acid, treated appropriately to yield a colored solution, and diluted to 50.00 mL. The absorbance of this solution was 0.600. What was the percentage of Ru in the ore?

Roberta decided to find out the content of nickel (Ni) in a sample. She dissolved the 0.0882 g sample in about 30 mL of nitric acid, and after adding an excess of 8- hydroxyquinolinol (HQL), she diluted the solution with deionized water to a final volume of 250 mL. This final solution showed an absorbance of 0.694 at 365 nm, the wavelength of maximal absorbance of the Ni (HQL) complex, when measured in a 1.00 cm cuvette. Knowing that the trendline from the calibration curve for the Ni(HQL) complex at 365 nm is y = 1500x + 0.029 and that the atomic mass of nickel is 58.693 g/mol, calculate the percent content of Ni by mass in the sample. What is the % nickel by mass in the sample? (a) 5.31 percent (b) 7.38 percent. (c) 7.70 percent. (d) 7.4 percent. (e) None of these
