1.0 INTRODUCTION
iii- Poured 20mL of water sample (from FPTV Lake) on the filter paper and leaved it
until the filtration finished.
iv- Took the filter paper, placed on the evaporating dish
v- Placed the evaporating dis inside the drying oven at 105oC for at least 1 hour or
until completely dry.
vi- Placed the evaporating dish to cool at room temperature in desiccator.
vii- Finally, weighed the final dry weight of filter paper and record.
DESCRIPTION WEIGHT(g)
Weight of the clean filter paper W1 23.5124
(g)
Weight of the filter paper and W2 23.6858
the residue (g)
Weight of residue (g) W 0.1734
Volume of sample (mL) V 20
II) In your opinion, is it possible to discharge the sample used in this test to be
discharged to the river? Give your reason.
No. Because there are many factors that can contribute to the total solids
in water. For example, soil erosion is a large contributor of total solids. So, even
the sample we used in this test is 20mL, it might pollute a river.
B) Discussion
i) Why are the impacts of total suspended solid on health of the river?
4.0 CONCLUSION
For the conclusion that can be made, by using the water sample from
FPTV Lake, the result for the total suspended solids is 0.00867 g/mL.
