Interpreting Chemical Measurements
Not what you're looking for?
A wastewater sample was collected from the influent of a primary sedimentation tank. The following results were obtained from tests conducted on 50 mL wastewater samples.
Determine total solids (TS), total suspended solids (TSS), and total dissolved solids (TDS).
Tare mass of evaporating dish = 62.003 g
Mass of evaporating dish and residue after evaporation of
raw (unfiltered) wastewater sample at 105oC = 62.039 g
Mass of evaporating dish and residue after evaporation of
filtered wastewater sample (filtrate) at 105oC = 62.019 g
