Question: Carry out all the missing steps in example 2.2 and show your own solution. EXAMPLE 2-2 Checking the Accuracy of Analytical Measurements The following analysis
EXAMPLE 2-2 Checking the Accuracy of Analytical Measurements The following analysis has been completed on a filtered effluent, from an extended aeration wastewater treatment plant, that is to be used for landscape watering. Check the accuracy of the analysis to determine if the analysis is sufficiently accurate, based on the criteria given abwe. Conc.
