Students discover in this experiment, that a pure sample can become contaminated during preparation for analysis. They colorimetrically analyze water samples from a river for phosphorous. One group of students (Gila Laboratory) decolorizes the "murky" water with activated carbon, while the other group (Graham Laboratory) decolorizes the water with activated carbon that has been acid washed.
