By interpolating Graph 1.1, the equation of the linear line is given as;
y = 0.005 x + 0.004
= y 0.004
0.005
= 0.253 0.004
0.005
= 49.8
DISCUSSION
8|Page
Besides that, wrong way of holding the square cuvette bottle used to
contain the diluted solutions might also lead to errors . Any fingerprints or
smudge imprinted on the oute r surface of the cuvette can become an
unfavourably interference for the solutions to absorb wavelengths of light

RECOMMENDATIONS
Likewise, the square cuvette bot tle must be clea nsed thoroughly and
properly.
