Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A technician collects a water sample with a known TSS of 0.4 g/L in a 1-liter container. After filtration, the weighing balance reads 0.1 grams more than the empty filter weight. How would the technician confirm the reading is reliable?
💡 Hint: What steps did we talk about to ensure reliability?
You have two samples: Sample A with TSS of 0.05 g/L and Sample B with TSS of 0.15 g/L. If both are filtered with a 1-liter sample, which sample would require a larger volume for reliable TSS measurement?
💡 Hint: Think about how low concentrations can be accurately detected.
