5. 
Using the semi-logarithmic graph paper, plot the mV reading (linear axis) against the 
concentration (log axis). Extrapolate the calibration curve down to about 2.0X10
-6
M.  A 
typical calibration curve can be found in Figure 1. 
 
 
A calibration curve is constructed on semi-logarithmic paper when using a 
pH/mV meter in the millivolt mode. The measured electrode potential in mV 
(linear axis) is plotted against the standard concentration (log axis). In the linear 
region of the curve, only three standards are necessary to determine a calibration 
curve. In the non-linear region, additional points must be measured. The direct 
measurement procedures given are for the linear portion of the curve. The non-
linear portion of the curve requires the use of low level procedures. 
 
6. 
To a clean, dry, 150 ml beaker, add 50 ml of the sample, 50 ml of methanol-formaldehyde 
solution, and 2 ml of ISA. Place the beaker on the magnetic stirrer and begin stirring at a 
constant rate. Rinse the electrodes with distilled water, blot dry, and lower the electrode 
tips into the solution. When the reading has stabilized, record the mV reading. Using the 
calibration curve determine the sample concentration. 
 
7. 
The calibration should be checked every two hours. Assuming no change in ambient 
temperature, immerse the electrode tips in the mid-range standard. After the reading has 
stabilized, compare it to the original reading recorded in Step 3 above. A reading differing 
by more than 0.5 mV or a change in the ambient temperature will necessitate the repetition 
of Steps 2-5 above.  A new calibration curve should be prepared daily.
