PRESENCE OF PHOSPHATES TEST: WATER TEST 1
Today during my free in period 3, I did my presence of phosphates test with the water i had sampled.

1. I first gathered 5 small beakers and a phosphate strip tube
2. Pour each 5 water samples into each of the 5 beakers.
3. Take a phosphate strip and place in each of the water samples for at least one second, observe strip where it was pink for approxmately 3 minutes - watching the colour change.
4. Out of all my 5 samples, the colour didn't change; so i could say that none of the water samples contained readings of phosphate.
5. After all this done, record results and clean up

results shown below;

beaker 1: = 0 (colour = meduim, pale yellow)

beaker 2: = 0 (colour = meduim, pale yellow)

beaker 3: = 0 (colour = meduim, pale yellow)

beaker 4: = 0 (colour = meduim, pale yellow)

beaker 5: = 0 (colour = meduim, pale yellow)

= NO PHOSPHATE PRESENT
