Determination of Formaldehyde

Description:

     These data are from a chemical experiment to prepare a standard
     curve for the determination of formaldehyde by the addition of
     chromatropic acid and concentrated sulpuric acid and the reading
     of the resulting purple color on a spectrophotometer.

Usage:

     Formaldehyde

Format:

     A data frame with 6 observations on 2 variables.

       [,1]  carb    numeric  Carbohydrate (ml)
       [,2]  optden  numeric  Optical Density

Examples:

     require(stats); require(graphics)
     plot(optden ~ carb, data = Formaldehyde,
          xlab = "Carbohydrate (ml)", ylab = "Optical Density",
          main = "Formaldehyde data", col = 4, las = 1)
     abline(fm1 <- lm(optden ~ carb, data = Formaldehyde))
     summary(fm1)
     opar <- par(mfrow = c(2,2), oma = c(0, 0, 1.1, 0))
     plot(fm1)
     par(opar)
