Question
Using the data below, please create a calibration graph and determine the concentration of the unknown sample.

|                 | Standard #1  | Standard #2  | Standard #3  | Unknown sample |
|-----------------|--------------|--------------|--------------|----------------|
| Concentration   | 1.5 x 10^-3 M | 2.0 x 10^-3 M | 2.5 x 10^-3 M | ?              |
| Absorbance      | 0.61         | 0.80         | 0.98         | 0.72           |

a) 1.6 x 10^-3 M  
b) 1.8 x 10^-3 M  
c) 2.1 x 10^-3 M  
d) 2.2 x 10^-3 M  

To determine the concentration of the unknown sample, plot the concentration values of the standards on the x-axis and the absorbance values on the y-axis. Use these points to draw a calibration line. Then, locate the absorbance value of the unknown sample (0.72) on the y-axis and find the corresponding x-axis value to estimate its concentration.
