Answer:


x-Concentration\\y-Absorbance

Explanation:

A
calibration\ curve is a general method for determining concentration of a substance in an unknown sample by comparing it to standard samples of known concentrations.

X- axis
(
Concentration) is the independent variable. It is chosen by the experimenter. It is independent because the experimenter choose at what concentration levels to take
Absorbance measurements.

Y-axis
(Absorbance) is the dependent variable. Absorbance rates will depend on the concentration levels set by the experimenter.
