This document describes analytical methods used in a fertilizer laboratory to determine the contents of various elements in fertilizers. The laboratory uses Inductively Coupled Plasma and Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry to determine elements like potassium, magnesium, and phosphorus. Specific procedures are outlined for determining magnesium and phosphorus content, which involve preparing standard solutions, digesting samples, and measuring absorbances of sample solutions and standards to calculate concentrations. The roles of potassium, magnesium, and phosphorus in plant growth are also briefly discussed.
Classification of chemical fertilizers • organic fertilizer and inorganic fertilizer • Sources of Organic fertilizers • Inorganic fertilizers • Nitrogenous fertilizers • Phosphate fertilizers • Potassic fertilizers • Secondary major-nutrient fertilizers • Micronutrient Fertilizers • On the base of physiological effect • On the basis of physical forms • Granular fertilizers
this gives students good knowledge about the preparation
of fertilizers using various elements like phosphorous and
nitrogen also gives various observation table with results regarding usage of each element in fertilizer.

Organic carbon in organic matter is oxidized by known but excess of chromic acid. The excess chromic acid not reduced by organic matter is determined by back titration with standard ferrous sulphate solution, using diphenylamine or ferroin indicator. The organic carbon content in soil is calculated from the chromic acid utilized (reduced) by it.
These are the class 12 practicals held in cbse schools and it contains all the inorganic and organic salt tests in a simplified way and all the other experiments
In this presentation I have mentioned whatever the possible relevant content is required for this method

Chemistry investigatory project for class 12 CBSE on the topic Green chemistry - bio diesel and bio petrol. It includes all the necessary formats and the content is relevant for the CBSE practical examination.
These reports have been made by me and my classmates at IBA Karachi. The sole purpose of putting these reports here is to help the free flow of knowledge .
Chemistry word can be represented as C for chemistry, H for health, E for environment, M for medicines, I for industries, S for sciences, T for teaching, R for research and Y for you.
we are a living chemistry as we are made of chemicals only and there are a lot of chemical reactions going in our body.
Ureases (EC 3.5.1.5), functionally, belong to the superfamily of amidohydrolases and phosphodiesterase.
Nickel containing metalloenzyme.
Ureases are found in numerous bacteria, fungi, algae, plants, and some invertebrates, as well as in soils, as a soil enzyme.
Not synthesized by animals.

In this webinar, we have Dr. Stephanie Smith from Xylem introduce how to detect Harmful Algae Blooms (HABs) in the lab. Stephanie goes into details on three key methods and the equipment we provide to support the testing.
Topics Covered:
- Importance of Monitoring HABs
- Method 1: Total Phosphorus (TP) by USEPA Method 365.4
- Method 2: Total Kjeldahl Nitrogen (TKN) by USEPA Method 351.2
- Method 3: Purge and Trap with GC/MS, guided by USEPA Method 524.3 for volatile organics

Water Analysis Using LAMBDA UV/Visible Spectrophotometers: Ortho-Phosphate De...PerkinElmer, Inc.
In surface waters, phosphorus commonly exists in its phosphate form. A high concentration of phosphate in water is indicative of domestic waste, industrial effluent, and agricultural runoff which can lead to eutrophication. Eutrophication causes an increase in plant and algal growth, which decreases the dissolved oxygen in the water, often leaving the water uninhabitable to organisms. Most phosphates from these human sources are either polyphosphates or organically bound, which eventually degrade to ortho-phosphates (PO4
3−). In this application, the quantitative analysis of ortho-phosphate was performed using the LAMBDA 265™ UV/Vis spectrophotometer and CHEMetrics ortho-phosphate cell test kit.
Laboratory method for measuring enzyme activity.
Vital for study of enzyme kinetics and enzyme inhibition.
Measurement of enzyme activity – follow the change in concentration of substrate or product – measure reaction rate.

4. DETERMINATION OF POTASSIUM AND MAGNESIUM
Why we need potassium and magnesium?
POTASSIUM - provide the ionic environment for metabolic
process in cytosol.(growth regulation)
- potassium ions (K+) for protein synthesis and
opening and closing of stomata.
MAGNESIUM - part of chlorophyll in plant for photosynthesis
5. METHOD
• Method for the determination of magnesium
Determination of water-soluble magnesium content (MgO)
• Principle
Magnesium in magnesium sulphate fertilizers is extracted in
boiling water and the magnesium content determined by
atomic absorption spectrophotometer.
• Reference: MS 417: Part 6: 1994
7. • Digest the solution using hot plate at boiling
point around 20minutes
• Leave to cool
• Transfer into volumetric flask and dilute to
the mark (250ml)
• Mixed the solution and filter in plastic vial
• Further dilution(100ml)
• Add strontium nitrate(5ml) and dilute to the
mark
• To remove phosphate from magnesium and
calcium and prevent interference from other
elements
8. • Preparation for Atomic Absorption
Spectrophotometer
• Standard stock solution
- Potassium dihydrogen sulphate solution
- Magnesium sulphate solution
• For 1000ppm,weigh 4.3928g.
• Dry in oven for 2 hours
• Undergo further dilution(m1v1=m2v2)
• 0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1.00 and 1.25 ppm
9. • Pre-calibrate the AAS with standard stock
solution
• Run the AAS
• Then, we can determine the concentration of
the solution
10. DETERMINATION OF PHOSPHORUS
Why phosphorus important to plant?
• Essential to stimulate early plant growth and hastens the
maturity.
• Development of root health.
• Classified as macronutrient.
11. Methodology:
• molybdovanadate method (yellow method).
Reference:
•MS 417: Part 4: 1994
Apparatus:
Spectrophotometer.
Principle:
•Amount of light transmitted (yellow colour) dependent on the
concentration of phosphorus.
•Spectophotometric absorption curve from known standard
phosphorus solutions determined in unknown solution.
12. Standard stock solution:
Potassium dihydrogen phosphate (4.3928g in 1L)
1000ppm 100ppm 0ppm 2ppm 4ppm 8ppm 10ppm
Reagent used:
Molybdovanadate reagent: Ammonium molybdate (100ml) mixed together

solution (1000ppm) and take reading after 30 minutes.
15. Determine phosphate at acidic colour at pH ±
2.6
Double acid method is used.
We put HCl and HNO3 to convert all
polyphosphate (P2O7) to orthophosphate
(PO4
3-).
