Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A balance has a detection limit of 0.1 mg, but you are trying to measure a substance that is expected to be present at 0.05 mg. What should you do?

💡 Hint: Consider ways to improve measurement effectiveness.

Question 2

You collected two samples from the same aquatic source: one with 50ml and another with 100ml. The TSS analyzed was 2 mg/L for the first and 1 mg/L for the second. Explain the anomaly.

💡 Hint: Think about the impact of dilution and measurement sensitivity.
