I need help with my general chemistry lab homework. I have all the data I need, but I am not able to understand what I need to do to get to where I need to be. I am on desktop so the questions in my lab manual is as follows (Lab is on Beer-Lambert Law):      using the three standards (Solutions 1, 2, and 3), create a calibration plot. Report the linear fit equation and R^2 value.      Using the equation and absorbance of the sport drink sample, calculate the concentration of allura red in the sports drink sample.    I have the data collected in lab. I just need help getting to what is expected. Thanks!
