Problem #1:

The art of being a good chemical engineer is being able to quickly understand relationships between various phenomena. We oftentimes compare process variables (flow rate, temperature, pressure, etc.) to develop a mathematical understanding of a particular situation. Reactant concentration versus time, distillation pressure versus distillate (or bottoms) composition, and inlet flow rate versus outlet stream temperature of a heat exchanger are just a few of these.

In gas chromatograph (GC), the GC converts a signal output (usually in mV) into a peak area. Calibration curves are made by testing the peak areas for different concentrations of a mixture and then fitting those areas to a linear expression. Using linear regression, develop the calibration curve for this dataset of various concentrations for monoethanolamine in toluene. DONT USE EXCEL. hand written solution and graph only.

Peak Area	Conc, mg/L
0.05	0.03
5	0.13
7.5	0.25
10	0.33
12.5	0.35
15	0.44
