Which one of the following is not an objective of the Analysis of Phosphate in Water experiment?
To determine the phosphate content of a water sample using a simple colorimeter.
All are objectives of this experiment.
To prepare a phosphate stock solution with a known concentration.
To prepare a series of standards from a stock solution.
To prepare and use a Beer's Law calibration curve.
a.To determine the phosphate content of a water sample using a simple colorimeter.
b.All are objectives of this experiment.
c.To prepare a phosphate stock solution with a known concentration.
d.To prepare a series of standards from a stock solution.
e.To prepare and use a Beer's Law calibration curve.
Explanation / Answer
Analysis of phosphate in water can be done in colorimeter because phosphate produce color complex with a suitable reagent.
In this experiment, series of standards are prepared from a stock solution. This stock solution is a known concentration of phosphate solution.
Finally, a calibration curve is drawn and using Beer's law, the concentration of phosphate can be calculated.
Beer's law: absorbance = (molar extinction coefficient)*(pathlength)*(concentration)
Therefore, b. All are objectives of this experiment.
