    This document discusses methods for determining the color of water samples. It will use two methods: a comparison method using a Lovibond comparator that matches sample colors to color discs, and a spectrophotometer method that measures light absorption at a wavelength of 455 nm. The color of natural water is affected by humus and metals like iron and manganese, and ranges from yellowish brown to dark brown depending on environmental factors. The experiment aims to measure the color of three different water samples using these techniques.

    INTRODUCTION (COLOUR)

    From this experiment, we want to determine the colour of three


    different samples. Through the colour test we can determine how clear the
    water is. The colour is determined using two different methods which are
    comparison method and spectrophotometer method. A spectrophotometer
    is an instrument that measures the quantitative amounts of light of
    different wavelengths absorbed and transmitted by a pigment solution. In
    spectrophotometer method used in this experiment, an optimum
    wavelength was chosen. We chose the wavelength of 455 nm. While a
    lovibond comparator is used to place the colour disc. The two
    compartments inside it, is to hold a sample and distilled water. It is a
    comparison method without making standard solutions. The way we used
    the comparator is liked we rotate the colour disc till the colour matches
    with the sample.

    BACKGROUND
    The colour of natural water is primarily affected by humus and metals (iron and
    manganese). The colour of the water varies from yellowish brown to dark brown. The more
    marshlands there are in and around a particular body of water, the browner the water will be.
    The colour of dirty wastewater can range from one end of the spectrum to the other. The
    colour number of water represents the platinum concentration (mg Pt/l) in a platinum cobalt
    chloride solution that is the same colour as the sample when visually compared. In water
    analysis laboratories, the colour number of the sample is determined photometrically or by
    visually comparing the sample to the colour number wheels ( colour disc ), which are
    calibrated using the platinum cobalt chloride solution. In Heureka's water analysis, the colour
    of the water is evaluated visually.
