These samples were tested using the same nitrate ion-selective electrode and the following results were obtained.

Acton Lake: Measured Potential = 2220 mV

Western Pond: Measured Potential = 2132 mV

Four Mile Creek: Measured Potential = 2361 mV

Using the calibration curve above, match the sample to the correct value for the log of the nitrate concentration (x).
