Mary performed an experiment with industrial wastewater samples for determination of iron content. α-phenanthroline was added in order to obtain a strong coloured complex. A calibration graph was constructed as follow. Deduce the analytical technique used and calculate the concentration of wastewater analysed which demonstrated absorbance reading of 0.269 (sample 1), 0.532 (sample 2) and 0.478 (sample 3).
