Question
use the calibration curve to answer the following questions.
part: 0 / 3
part 1 of 3
is absorbance graphed on the x - axis or the y - axis? select
is concentration graphed on the x - axis or the y - axis? select
For the first question (Is absorbance graphed on the x - axis or the y - axis?):
In a calibration curve for spectrophotometry (a common technique in chemistry), absorbance is the measured response (dependent variable) and is typically graphed on the y - axis. The independent variable (like concentration) is on the x - axis. So absorbance is on the y - axis.
In spectrophotometric calibration curves, concentration is the independent variable (we control or know the concentrations to measure absorbance). Independent variables are graphed on the x - axis. So concentration is on the x - axis.
