Problem

Three different dyes (X, Y, and Z) are analyzed under identical conditions (same cuvette and wavelength). Their calibration lines have slopes of 1.25, 0.88, and 1.67, respectively. Which dye offers the greatest analytical sensitivity under these conditions? (a) dye Y\text{dye Y} (b) All three dyes have the same sensitivity\text{All three dyes have the same sensitivity} (c) dye Z\text{dye Z} (d) dye X\text{dye X}
