PREPARING DILUTE STANDARD SOLUTIONS
Standard solutions should be prepared to create a calibration curve. Standard solutions
can be prepared by diluting a known concentrated standard by specified amounts. A
chart or computer spreadsheet can be created to determine the proper dilutions. Use
volumetric flasks and volumetric pipets for all dilutions.
6. In Column A – Record the maximum concentration of test as determined by the
range and path length.
7. In Column B – Record the percent of the maximum concentration the standard
solution will be.
8. In Column C – Calculate the final concentration of the diluted standard solutions
by multiplying the maximum concentration (In Column A) by the % of maximum
concentration divided by 100. (C = A x B/100).
9. In Column D – Record the final volume of the diluted sample (i.e. volume of
volumetric flask).
10. In Column E – Record the concentration of the original standard.
11. In Column F – Calculate the milliliters of original standard required
(F = (C x
D
/
E
)).
