(choose chapter or problem)

The discharge of phosphate in detergents to the environment has led to imbalances in the life cycle of freshwater lakes. A chemist uses a spectrometric method to measure total phosphate and obtains the following data for known standards: Absorbance (880 nm) Concentration (mol/L) 0 0.031025 0.10 2.531025 0.16 3.231025 0.20 4.431025 0.25 5.631025 0.38 8.431025 0.48 10.531025 0.62 13.831025 0.76 17.031025 0.88 19.431025 (a) Draw a curve of absorbance vs. phosphate concentration. (b) If a sample of lake water has an absorbance of 0.55, what is its phosphate concentration?
