10. 24-26 A compound X is to be determined by UV/visible spectrophotometry. A
calibration curve is constructed from standard solutions of X with the following
results: 0.50 ppm, A 5 0.24; 1.5 ppm, A 5 0.36; 2.5 ppm, A 5 0.44; 3.5 ppm, A 5
0.59; and 4.5 ppm, A 5 0.70. Find the slope and intercept of the calibration curve,
the standard error in Y, the concentration of the solution of unknown X
concentration, and the standard deviation in the concentration of X. Construct a
plot of the calibration curve and determine the unknown concentration by hand
from the plot.
