Expert Solution
Step 1: introduce to the Lambert Beer law

According to Lambert Beer, when a monochromatic light is passed through a transparent solution then the absorbance of  the solution is directly proportional to the concentration of  the solution (c) and the path length the light travelled.

Here we are required to find the unknown concentration of the copper sulphate  from the calibration curve.
