measure the potential and calculate the difference of potential METHOD III (SINGLE STANDARD ADDITION)
E between the measured potential and ET. E is related to
the concentration of the ion to be determined by the equation : To a volume VT of the test solution prepared as prescribed
in the monograph, add a volume VS of a reference solution
containing an amount of the ion to be determined known to
give a response situated in the linear part of the calibration
curve. Prepare a blank solution in the same conditions.
Measure at least three times the potentials of the test solution
or
and the blank solution, before and after adding the reference
solution. Calculate the concentration CT of the ion to be
analysed using the following equation and making the
necessary corrections for the blank :
VT
CT
VS
CS
S
Plot on a graph
(y-axis) against VS (x-axis) and
extrapolate the line obtained until it intersects the x-axis.
At the intersection, the concentration CT of the ion to be
determined in the test solution is given by the equation :
VT
CT
VS
CS
