Question: a . 2 5 m L of a sludge sample was filtered through a standard filter paper weighing 1 . 1 2 3 4 g

a.25mL of a sludge sample was filtered through a standard filter paper weighing 1.1234g and dried at 105C in an oven. The weight of the filter paper after drying in the oven was 1.2345g. The filter paper was then ignited in a muffle furnace at 550C and the weight of the residue after ignition was 0.0234mgL.
i. Determine the TSS, VSS and fixed suspended solid in the sample in mgL.(7 marks)
ii. Comment on the impact on the test results if the muffle furnace temperature was set at 900C by mistake. (3 marks)
