Provide a brief statement of the purpose of this activity and explain the idea behind a calibration
curve (this can be done before class and valuable insight can be gained by watching the
“weblets” (online prelab lectures available in the course content of D2L).
The purpose of this activity is to see how much sugar is in a can of coke by comparing
different solutions with known sugar amounts while using the calibration curve or graph.
This lab relates to a branch in chemistry called analytical chemistry which helps us by finding
out what is in substances and being able to quantify them.
The idea behind the calibration curve helps us to understand the relationship between
substances and their density, it can also be used to make comparisons.
