A raw sewage sample was brought in for total suspended solids and volatile solids analysis. A portion of the sample was poured into a tared evaporating dish and weighed. The sample was then heated at 105°C for 4 hours, weighed, heated at 550°C overnight, and weighed again. The data are as follows: • Tare wt. 42.9073g • Wt of sample 104.4680g • 105 °C wt. 45.4140g • 550 °C wt. 43.3236g What is the TSS in g/L? What percent of the solids are volatile?
