  1. The laboratory analysis of 25 mL sample after filtration gave the following data:
  • Weight of the filter disk after drying at 103 oC and 550 oC = 5.31g
  • Weight of the filter disk and sample after drying at 103 oC = 5.374g
  • Weight of the filter disk and sample after igniting at 550 oC = 5.339g

Determine the concentrations (in mg/L) of: a) Total suspended solids (TSS), b) Volatile suspended solids (VSS), and c) Fixed suspended solids (FSS) of the water sample.
