Water chemistry and sampling claims · Revision sheet
Distinguish appearance, concentration and evidence of safety.
Learn the idea
Concentration
A contaminant claim requires identity, units, detection method and sampling context.
Appearance
Clear water is not necessarily free from dissolved substances or microorganisms.
Detection
Below detection limit does not mean exactly zero.
Sampling
One measurement represents its sample and method, not every location and time.
Explain without looking
- Why is dilution not the same as removing the total pollutant mass?
- Should a classroom concentration exercise be used as medical or regulatory certification?
