Learning Curves The learning curve, also referred to as the experience curve, is a simplistic, yet powerful, estimating technique which has become an essential concept/tool used for strategic planning within project management (Kerzner, 2013; Lieberman, 1987; Linton & Walsh, 2013). Bailey and Gupta (1999) suggested that the learning curve should probably be called the “forecasting curve” because it is primarily used to forecast the future expenditure of project resources (as cited in McKee &…
absorbance is calculated; you can accurately measure it by means of a standard graph called a calibration curve. Also colorimetry, a technique “used to determine the concentration of colored compounds in solution” (Housecroft, Catherine) is also an objective that was designed to be introduced. Lastly, determine the concentration of a solution with a previously unknown concentration using a calibration curve and plot it with different standard solutions. In order to accomplish this, the…
unique identifying quality, color, that cranberry juice has. In the experiment, a calibration curve, or standard curve to which an unknown can be compared, was…
Several accusations were made that manufacturers were incorrectly labeling the iron content on their products. The purpose of this experiment was to analyze the amount of iron in approximately one serving of Total Whole Grain cereal and in one iron tablet and determine if these accusations were true. The values collected would then be compared to the actual values for these products. Total cereal contains 100% of the recommended daily allowance for iron, and the iron tablet contains 361% of the…
natural vanillin is costly. Before a chemical experiment or process is carried out, the concentration of an unknown solution will always be determined. After this step is done, a calibration curve will be drawn. The unknown concentration of the solution can be determined from the linear equation of the calibration curve where Beer’s Law is applied. To prepare a standard solution, there is specific technique that can be used. This…
The calibration curve observed in this investigation was the relationship measured between the concentration of the cobalt solution, or CO(NO3)2, and the absorbance of the wavelength. As it was impossible to measure the true standard curve, the data points and subsequent graphs demonstrated the qualitative information collected and the trend of these values. The calibration curve closely resembled a straight line, with only minimal deviations in either direction. This indicated that the…
separately. 8.3 The chromatography software performs all calculations for determining the calibration model (or fit). Average calibration factor represents the slope of the line between the response for each standard and the origin. 8.3.1 The variation over the range of the calibration must be less than or equal to 20% Relative Standard Deviation (RSD) to be considered linear. 8.3.2 Linear calibration using a least squares regression can also be used. The “goodness of fit” of the linear…
Voltammetry of Ferricyanide Analytical Lab 1: 2410L Benjamin A. Battiste Group 2 10/14/15 Introduction: The purpose of this experiment is to use cyclic voltammetry to see how ferricyanide can be reduced to ferrocyanide. Using cyclic voltammetry a calibration curve will be created to determine the concention(mM) of an unknown solution of ferricyanide. In cyclic voltammetry, the potential of a substance is scanned starting from a certain voltage, going to another voltage, and then returning…
volumes of SCN2+ ions were diluted with DI water and reacted to produce an unknown amount of FeSCN2+ ions in an equilibrium reaction. The absorbance of each solution was found using a spectrophotometer, the first five of which was used to create a calibration curve, whose equation relates the concentration and absorbance of FeSCN2+ ions. Theories…
In many cases calibration curve changes from ideal behavior (shown in figure). Changes from linearity are divided into 3 types i.e. chemical, fundamental and instrumental. Fundamental limitations of beer Lambert’s law Beer Lambert’s has a limitation and it is valid only for…
