DISCUSSION
In this experiment, the observer first places the crucible containing sample into a 650 oC oven for 6 hours. When the
sample is completely ashed the observer puts the crucible into a desiccator to cool it off for 30 minutes. After cooling it
off the observer weighs it off and records the data. The purpose of this experiment Is to determine the inorganic
materials that are left off in the sample.
