Question: Solids analyses were performed on a wastewater sample. The analyses involve drying the sample in an oven at 1 0 3 C , then igniting

Solids analyses were performed on a wastewater sample. The analyses involve drying the sample
in an oven at 103C, then igniting it in a muffle furnace at 550C. Upon ignition, it was observed
than 60% of the solids weight on the dish was lost. Below are the data:
Clean weight of oven-dried residue on dish: 0.04g
Clean weight of oven-dried residue on filter paper: 0.026g
Sample volume dried on dish: 50mL
Sample volume filtered: 100mL
(i) Calculate TS, TSS, TDS
(ii) TVS and TFS
(iii) If the operator decides to double the sample volume, would it alter the solids
concentration in (i) and (ii)? Provide your comment.
