To improve the accuracy of our linear fit between absorbance and concentration, O a. add an extra data point to your linear regression where you make the assumption that pure water has an absorbance of zero. b. make sure that you choose a "Linear Regression" curve fit. O .ensure that there are no air bubbles in the cuvette. O d. use the data points only at the lower end of the concentration range because Beer's Law is not applicable for higher concentrations.

A student weighed out 0.150 g of protein powder and dissolved it in 100 mL of water (Solution 1). The student then diluted this solution by transferring 1 mL into a 25 mL flask and diluting with water (Solution 2). Finally, 1 mL of that solution was transferred to a test tube and combined with 4 mL Bradford reagent. The absorbance of the solution in the test tube was 0.11. Assuming that the best fit linear line of the standard curve was y = 0.04144 x + 0.01521 (μ g mL), calculate the percent protein by mass in the original protein powder.

B. Quantitative Spectroscopy Prepare two graphs, %T vs. Concentration and Absorbance vs. Concentration, using the data for the cobalt standards. The concentrations of Cobalt standards 2-4 can be calculated using simple dilution calculations. Concentration should be on the x-axis for each of these graphs. The first should clearly show some curvature while the second should be a linear curve. Using the absorbance graph you can determine the concentration of the unknown. Take the absorbance value for the unknown and find that value on the y-axis. Draw a horizontal line from that point on the y-axis to the plotted line. From the point where the horizontal line intersects the plotted line, draw a vertical line straight down to the x-axis. Record the value from the point where you hit the x-axis as the unknown concentration.
If the stationary phase and the compound being tested are both polar, will the retention factor (Rf) likely be smaller or larger than if a nonpolar compound was tested? Why? 1) The retention factor will likely be smaller as it has a smaller interaction with the stationary phase O 2) The retention factor will likely be greater as it has a smaller interaction with the stationary phase O3) The retention factor will likely be smaller as it has a greater interaction with the stationary phase 4) The retention factor will likely be greater as it has a greater interaction with the stationary phase
