11. PROCESS
1. Prepare the solutions (as seen before)
2. Prepare the samples for the calibration curve
3. Let the samples stand for 10 min for color development
4. Measure the absorbance of the samples in the spectrophotometer at 540 nm
5. Trace the calibration curve by plotting the absorbance against the quantity of
Cr(VI) (in ppm)
