EXPERIMENT : GRAVIMETRIC ANALYSIS OF PHOSPHORUS IN PLANT FOOD

Aim: To determine the amount of phosphorus in a commercial plant food

 

I want the Calculations for this experiment and complete the table

Observations:
Mass of plant food (original sample) = 2 g
Weight of Filter Paper = W1 = 0.87 g
Weight of Filter paper + Precipitate = W2 = 2.85 g
Weight of Precipitate Wz - Wi = 2.85 – 0.87 = 1.98
