To determine the concentration of iron in the water sample using voltammetry, we need more information than just the standard potential of -0.44 V. Voltammetry is an electroanalytical technique that measures the current response of a redox reaction as a function of the applied potential.To calculate the concentration of iron, we would need the following information:1. The calibration curve or sensitivity of the voltammetric method for iron determination. This curve is obtained by measuring the current response for a series of known concentrations of iron and plotting the current response versus concentration. The calibration curve can be used to determine the concentration of iron in the unknown sample based on its current response.2. The current response of the unknown water sample. This is the current measured during the voltammetric experiment when the potential is applied to the working electrode.Once we have this information, we can use the calibration curve to determine the concentration of iron in the water sample. If you can provide the calibration curve data and the current response of the unknown sample, I can help you calculate the concentration of iron in the water sample.
