4. To analyze the Cu(NO3)2 unknown solution in Part 3, your group constructed a plot of absorbance vs. concentration, commonly called a calibration curve or standard curve. The absorbance at the top of the peak (i.e., at the wavelength of maximum absorbance) was chosen for these measurements. What is the potential advantage of using the wavelength of maximum absorbance, rather than some other wavelength? Can you think of a situation in which you might want to choose a different wavelength? (Hint: Scientists often do not have the luxurý of analyzing pure substances dissolved in distilled water!)

Atomic absorption spectroscopy with graphite furnace atomization is an extremely sensitive technique. The standard addition method is used with this technique to determine the concentration of copper in urine. A 20.00 mL sample of urine is spiked with 1.00 mL of 300. ppb Cu²+ and this mixture gives a response of 0.168. Another 1.00 mL aliquot of 300. ppb Cu²+ is added to this mixture and gives a reading of 0.235Determine the concentration of copper in the urine sample
