Your choice of an analytical technique for a particular analysis would be based on its applicability and a conviction that the response will be linear to changes in concentration.
As an analytical scientist your main concern would have been to report your findings in terms of what is present in your sample and in what amount. Most instruments convert input in other units to concentration or other required units. ou might be inclined to think that it is sufficient to have a knowledge of concentration units and their interconversions
Most of us were exposed to chemical calculations in school and college days. As we pursued higher degrees and progressed in our career as analytical scientists we took more interest in learning new techniques and picking up operational details of analytical instruments.
This is a video tutorial for using Excel to create a calibration curve using six standards and using it to automatically back calculate unknown sample concentrations.
