The next class, you measure the volume and find that you only have 132.0 mL remaining. You didn’t record the initial concentration, but you measure the absorbance of the remaining solution at 620 nm and find that it is 0.386. You also construct the following calibration curve for CuSO4: Standard solution Abs620 0.50 M 0.424 0.40 M 0.336 0.30 M 0.247 0.20 M 0.159 (refer to image) a. What is the value for k (in Beer’s Law)? Provide a calculation or graph to support your answer. b. What is the concentration of the (remaining) solution? c. What was the concentration of the original solution from the first class? d.
