An experiment is carried out to investigate the pollution level of a river in W district.

Figure 1.1 Three samples of water are collected from the three location respectively, and named water sample P, water sample Q and water sample R. The samples are brought to the school lab and tests are conducted. First, 100ml of the water sample P is measured using a measuring cylinder and poured into a clean reagent bottle. 1ml of 0.1% methylene blue solution is added into the water sample using a syringe. The mixture is stirred carefully with the needle of the syringe. The reagent bottle is closed quickly and kept in a dark cupboard (Figure 1.2). The stop watch is started (Table 1.1) and the colour of the solution is observed from time to time to determine the time taken for the 0.1% methylene blue solution to decolourise.

Figure 1.2

The above steps are repeated with water sample Q and water sample R. The time taken for the solution to decolourise is recorded in table 1.1.
