A lithium ion-selective electrode gave the potentials given below for the following standard solutions of LiCl 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 aLi1 and determine if the electrode follows the Nernst equation.

(b) Use a linear least-squares procedure to determine the concentrations of the two unknowns.
