Test findings for Ph reading of salt.

Today i went into lab in period 1 during my free to do my PH testing. The equipment i used for the PH testing was:
  1. Data logger
  2. Ph Probe
  3. Dropper bottle of demineralised water.

    Results are shown below:
    • Sample 1/site 1:
      PH probe started on 4.37
      PH: 6.31
    • Sample 2/site 2:
      PH: 6.27
    • Sample 3/site 3:
      PH: 6.53
    • Sample 4/site4:
      PH: 6.32

    • When i put the probe back in the chemical mixture it took a reading of 4.57.

      When i finished my first lot of soil samples i realised that i had enough time to do a second lot. But this time i thought i would joint down the PH probe reading every time to see how much is varied and to see if i contaminated it.
      PP: means the PH probe
      PH: means the PH i got.

    • Sample 1/site 1:
      PP: 4.35
      Ph:6.32
    • Sample 2/site 2:
      PP: 4.40
      Ph:6.40
    • Sample 3/site 3:
      PP:4.37
      ph: 6.58
    • sample 4/site 4:
      PP: 4.40
      Ph: 6.33

      The PH probe was 4.39 when i put it back into the mixture this means that i have not contaminated the mixture.

  1. organising future data into tables would be best. Doing this would also save you some time in the final report, as you can just copy & paste the tables from yourblog onto your report.
