Question

When generating a calibration curve, what information typically goes on the x and y axes, ie, which axis is the dependent variable, and which axis is the independent variable?

Answer 1

`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.
