Guest Tazman Posted April 12, 2005 Posted April 12, 2005 Hey, just wondering if any of you could give me a hand with some calculations. I was just carrying out the Vanadomolybdate phosphoric acid method for orthophosphate in wastewater. I don't know how to convert mg/L PO4 3- to mg/L P or to mg/L PO4 3- -P. Just wondering if any of you have a quick calculation for converting this...
budullewraagh Posted April 12, 2005 Posted April 12, 2005 just use percent masses... phosphorus is ________% of PO4-3 thus, you multiply that percent, converted to a decimal by the amount of phosphate
Guest Tazman Posted April 13, 2005 Posted April 13, 2005 Yeah, i got that as PO4, i don't know what to do with the 3- valence, is this not used...?
budullewraagh Posted April 14, 2005 Posted April 14, 2005 the extra electrons add a negligible amount of mass
