After completing this activity, students will be able to:
- Identify the details of the various steps in a quantitative analysis method
- Design a calibration curve using standard solutions of the required analyte
- Use this calibration curve to calculate the concentration of the analyte in the unknown samples
- Assess the reliability of the calibration curve and the unknown concentrations using statistical analysis
- Decide whether the results of the quantitative analysis are sufficient to answer the initial question.
