Salt Content
For these experiments I needed to use silver nitrate which is toxic so I used a waste bucket for the used silver nitrate so I didnt throw it in the bin or down the sink.
For the soil salt test I had to set up a retort stand with a funnel and filter paper to filter the pure water with soil mixture through. I then had to add one drop at a time to the beaker containing the filtrate to see how many drops of silver nitrate it would take for the filtrate to turn milky.
For the water salt test all I had to do was add one drop at a time of silver nitrate to the beakers with my water samples in them to see how many it took to turn milky.
The soil salt test was the most time consuming of all the tests in the lab (excluding using the incubator ie. moisture and organic content test).
