In the process of performing a spectrophotometric determination of Fe, an analyst prepares a calibration curve using a single-beam spectrometer, such as a Spec-20. After preparing the calibration curve, the analyst drops the cuvette used for the method blank and the standards. The analyst acquires a new cuvette, measures the absorbance of the sample, and determines the %w/w Fe in the sample. Will the change in cuvette lead to a determinate error in the analysis? Explain.
