Q. The standard unit of turbidity of water is that which is produced by 1 mg of ??.dissolved in one litre of distilled water.
Solution:
- The standard unit of turbidity of water is that which is produced by 1 mg of finely divided silica dissolved in one litre of distilled water.
- It is known as the Jackson Turbidity Unit (JTU).
- Silicon dioxide or silica is commonly found in natural water sources, and its concentration can affect the water’s turbidity.
- According to the water quality analysis, the turbidity formed by 1 mg silicon dioxide in 1L water is one standard turbidity unit, referred to as 1 degree.
- Generally, the higher the turbidity, the cloudier the solution.
