What type of error (indeterminate or determinate) would occur using calibration curve have on the quantitative determination of analyte
Accepted Answer
Using a calibration curve can lead to two types of errors in the quantitative determination of an analyte:
1. Determinate error: This is a systematic error that affects all measurements in the same way (e.g., due to using the wrong standard concentration).
2. Indeterminate error: This is a random error that affects individual measurements differently (e.g., due to variations in temperature or operator technique).
