Accuracy Check
Standard Solution Method
For greater accuracy, analyze standard solutions when new lots of reagent are
first used.
1. Weigh out 1.00 g of Phenol, ACS. Transfer to a 1000-mL volumetric flask.
Dilute to the mark with freshly boiled and cooled deionized water. This is a
1000-mg/L stock solution.
2. Pipet 10.0 mL of the 1000-mg/L stock solution to a 1000-mL volumetric flask.
Dilute to the mark with deionized water. This is a 10-mg/L working solution.
3. Prepare a 0.200-mg/L standard solution by pipetting 10.0 mL of the working
solution into a 500-mL volumetric flask. Dilute to the mark with
deionized water.
4. Perform the phenol procedure described above using the prepared standard.
5. To adjust the calibration curve using the reading obtained with the standard
solution, touch
Options on the current program menu. Touch
Standard Adjust.
6. Touch
On. Touch Adjust to accept the displayed concentration. If an alternate
concentration is used, touch the number in the box to enter the actual
concentration, then touch
OK. Touch Adjust.
