Explanation / Answer

The callibration curve is plotted between Absorbance of standard solutions of known concentrations(C)

Using Beer's law ,

Absorbance=e*l*C

where e=absorptivity of species(CrO42-)

l=path length of light(1 cm)

A callibration curve between Abs and concentration is linear of the form y=mx+c,

y=Abs ,x=concentration ,m=slope=el

given: slope=el=0.0207

for l=1 cm

e=0.0207 M^-1

or e can be calculated using equation,e=Abs/(concentration of known standard)*l

1) std 1) C=0.0024M*(1ml/100ml)=2.4*10^-5M

e=93.3/(2.4*10^-5M) (1cm)=3887500 cm^-1M^-1

2)std 2) C=0.0024M*(10ml/100ml)=2.4*10^-4M

e=92.8/(2.4*10^-4M) (1cm)=386666.7cm^-1M^-1

3)std 3) C=0.0024M*(15ml/100ml)=3.6*10^-4M

e=83.0/(3.6*10^-4M) (1cm)=230555.5 cm^-1M^-1

4)std 4) C=0.0024M*(20ml/100ml)=4.8*10^-4M

e=89.3/(4.8*10^-4M) (1cm)=186041.7 cm^-1M^-1

Average e=(3887500+386666.7+230555.5+186041.7 )/4=1172691.0 cm^-1M^-1

Std dev=(summation(x-x(average))^2/N)^0.5 ,N=number of data=4

So, std dev=((3887500-1172691.0)^2+(386666.7-1172691.0)^2+(230555.5-1172691.0)^2+(186041.7-1172691.0)^2 )/4)^0.5=1569165.243

Now ,for unknown solutions C=[CrO42-] can be calculated using equation ,

C=Absorbance/e

1)C=[CrO42-]=93.0/1172691.0 M^-1=7.930*10^-4M

Ksp(Ag2CrO4)=[Ag+]^2 [CrO42-]

Also [Ag+]=2[CrO42-]=2*(7.930*10^-4M)=1.586*10^-3M

Ksp=(1.586*10^-3M)^2(7.930*10^-4M)=1.995*10^-9

2)C=[CrO42-]=92.1/1172691.0 M^-1=7.854*10^-4M

[Ag+]=2[CrO42-]=2*(7.854*10^-4M)

Ksp=(2*7.854*10^-4M)^2 (7.854*10^-4M)=1.937*10^-9

3)C=[CrO42-]=89.3/1172691.0 M^-1=7.614*10^-4M

[Ag+]=2[CrO42-]=2*(7.614*10^-4M)

Ksp=(2*7.614*10^-4M)^2 (7.614*10^-4M)=1.766*10^-9

Average Ksp=((1.766*10^-9)+(1.937*10^-9)+(1.995*10^-9))/3=1.899*10^-9

Std dev=(((1.766*10^-9)-(1.899*10^-9))^2+((1.937*10^-9)-(1.899*10^-9)^2+((1.995*10^-9)-(1.899*10^-9)^2)/3)^0.5=9.721*10^-11
