1. Complete the following table Fe(II) stock solution | mass, g | 0.1756 | volume, mL | 500.0 | MW(Fe(NH4)2(SO4)2 x 6H2O), g/mol | 392.14 | AW(Fe), g/mol | 55.85 | conc. Fe(II), ppm | 50.0 |

Use Equation Editor to show how you calculated the concentration of Fe(II) in the stock solution. grams of Ferrous ammonium sulfate *1392.14gm*55.851gm*1000mg1g*10.500L=ppm

0.1756 *1392.14*55.851*10001*10.500=50.019

2. Report concentrations and absorbance of standards and samples. Solution # | Stock volume, mL | Conc. Fe(II), ppm | Absorbance at 510 nm | | | | 1 | 2 | 3 | Average | 1 | 1 | 0.500 | 0.082 | 0.083 | 0.082 | 0.082 | 2 | 2 | 1.00 | 0.182 | 0.181 | 0.182 | 0.182 | 3 | 5 | 2.50 | 0.476 | 0.476 | 0.479 | 0.477 | 4 | 10 | 5.00 | 1.002 | 1.002 | 1.001 | 1.002 | Unknown | - | - | 0.571 | 0.575 | 0.574 | 0.573 |

3. Paste Excel plot of your calibration data

4. Enter the equation for your calibration line: y = 0.3055x - 0.328

5. Report the concentration of Fe (in ppm) in your sample. Remember to account for the dilution of the sample before measurements.
5.90 ppm

Use MS Word equation editor to show how you calculated the concentration of Fe in your unknown.
