Statistical Parameters Results % P % P O

This experiment aimed to determine the levels of phosphorus (%P) and phosphate (%P2O5) in plant food samples. The results showed a mean %P of 6.16 and %P2O5 of 14.15 with a 1.774% error. Issues with the filtration and drainage methods introduced errors. While challenges arose, the experiment was conducted successfully and yielded results as exact as possible given the time and materials.

CONCLUSION

This experiment has proven to be a difficult method of accurately obtaining correct figures to precisely
determine the levels of phosphorus in plant food. Many trials were necessary to ensure that at least one trial was
effectively completed. According to the results the mean of the %P and %P2O5 has 6.16 and 14.15, the percent
error has 1.774%. Obstacles that affected the results mainly came from the methods of filtration and insufficient
time to properly drain and filter the solution. When the original filtration method (filter paper in a regular funnel)
proved to be slow, it was immediately realized that this process needed to be altered in order to be completed in a
timely manner. The constant moving and switching of the solutions provided a larger margin for error. Relocation
of the solution gave a greater chance for some of it to be lost. and in one case, they were confused to such an
extent that some solutions were completely mixed up. This experiment could have been executed differently to
guarantee more specific results; however, given the circumstances and a thorough evaluation, this experiment was
conducted successfully. The results yielded were as exact as could be derived. The time allotted and the materials
supplied were taken advantage of, and the experiment served its purpose.
