Problem
A lithium ion-selective electrode gave the potentials given below for the following standard
solutions of LICI and two samples of unknown concentration:
Solution (ali+) Potential vs. SCE, mV
0.100 M
+1.0
0.050 M
-30.0
0.010 M
-60.0
0.001 M
-138.0
Unknown 1
-48.5
Unknown 2
-75.3
(a) Construct a calibration curve of potential versus log alLi1 and determine if the electrode
follows the Nernst equation.
(b) Use a linear least-squares procedure to determine the concentrations of the two
unknowns
Step-by-step solution
Step 1 of 5
(a)
The data given is used in the following spreadsheet to plot the calibration curve:
potential vs SCH, mV aLM logLt

-30
0.05
-1.301
-60
0.01
-2
-138
0.001
-3
So, the calibration curve of the electrode potential versus log a, as shown below:

Step 2 of 5
Nernst equation for Lit /Li couple is written as follows:
E = E° +59.2 log a ..... (1)
Here, E is electrode potential of the cell, fº is standard electrode potential of the cell, and
a, is activity of the lithium ions.
With relevance to general equation: y =c+mx
(where y, c, m, and x are dummy variables and m signifies slope of the equation)
Thus, the slope for Equation (1) must be equal to 59.2.
On the other hand, actual equation as shown above in the calibration curve is
v = 66.64x + 64.885 and the slope is 66.64. Therefore, the electrode does not follow the
Nernst equation as the slope of the calibration curve is 66.64.

for OWLV2 it does follow
Step 3 of 5
(b)
Determination of the concentration of the two unknowns using linear least-squares procedure.
This is done by simply following the given rules:
• Go to data
• Go to data analysis
• Choose regression as the function
• Input values of a,, in the option input Y range
• Input values of potential vs. SCE in the option input X range
Then values the potential of unknown 1 is put in the following expression:
Y = 0.077499 +0.000656×X (as derived in the excel sheet)
Here 0.077499 is taken from coefficient of the intercept and 0.000656 is taken from coefficient
of the X variable 1 of the ANOVA table shown in the following excel sheet.
• The steps where repeated for unknown 2.
