Problem

The following data were collected for a series of cobalt(II) nitrate standards at 510 nm using a 1.00 cm cuvette. Concentration (M): 0.0020, 0.0040, 0.0060, 0.0080 Absorbance: 0.150, 0.300, 0.450, 0.600 An unknown cobalt(II) sample measured under identical conditions has an absorbance of 0.375. What is the concentration of the unknown? (a) 0.0040 M0.0040\ \text{M} (b) 0.0050 M0.0050\ \text{M} (c) 0.0075 M0.0075\ \text{M} (d) 0.0025 M0.0025\ \text{M}
