Caution

The values for the axis intercept E(0), the slope s and the concentration
c

A

can only be iteratively recalculated out of voltages U

i

measured for the

sample and the spiked solutions and the known concentration of the
standard which requires a lot of effort because it is about an equation
system with 3 unknowns. At least, the concentration c

S

is easily recalcu-

lable with the values for E(0), U

S

and s calculated by tiamo (see following

example).

Example

Results
E(0) = 129.7
s = -61.5
c(F

) = 27.4 ppm

Recalculation
c

A

= 10

^ ((59.8− 129.7) / -61.5) = 13.696

c(F

-

) = (10 + 10) / 10 * 13.696 = 27.39 ppm
