For this question: show in absolute DETAIL your steps and explain when appropriate that how you’re preparing the desired standards for the scenario outlined below. (20 pts)
You are required to prepare a series of dilution from a 1L of 25 ppm calcium stock solution in order to obtain a calibration curve for the analysis of several water samples by AA. If you consider the Ca standards to be made are: 0.10 ppm, 0.30 ppm, 0.50 ppm, 0.60ppm, 0.80 ppm, 1.00 ppm, 2.00 ppm, 3.00 ppm, 4.50 ppm and 5.00 ppm. Moreover, the only resources available to you are the following:
- Volumetric flasks of 50 ml only available in unlimited quantity
- Only pipettes available for the task are 2 ml, 3 ml and 5 ml and they are not graduated.
