Pengertian TS(Total Solid), TSS(Total Suspended Solid), TDS(Total Dissolved Solid) Pada Larutan

Summary

The video script explains the concepts of Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) and Total Suspended Solids (TSS) in a solution. TDS refers to the dissolved substances that cannot be separated by filtering or evaporation, while TSS includes particles that are not dissolved and can be separated by settling or filtering. The script demonstrates how to differentiate between dissolved and suspended solids by filtering a mixture of soil and water. The clear liquid that passes through the filter represents dissolved solids, and the residue on the filter represents suspended solids. The total solids are the sum of TSS and TDS, providing a comprehensive understanding of the total matter in a solution.

Takeaways

• 💧 **Total Dissolved Solids (TDS)**: Refers to the concentration of dissolved substances in a solution that cannot be removed by filtration or sedimentation.
• 🌊 **Total Suspended Solids (TSS)**: Represents the particles that are not dissolved in the solution and can be separated by filtration or allowed to settle.
• 🔬 **Separation Process**: TDS can be separated by evaporation, while TSS can be separated by filtration or sedimentation.
• 🌟 **Understanding TSS and TDS**: TSS includes particles that are suspended in the solution but not dissolved, whereas TDS are substances that are fully dissolved.
• 🌱 **Example Scenario**: The script uses the example of adding soil or compost to water to illustrate the presence of TDS and TSS.
• 🧪 **Testing Method**: By filtering the mixture through tissue paper, the TSS (which cannot pass through) remains on top, while the TDS (dissolved solids) passes through.
• 📊 **Total Solids (TS)**: The sum of both TSS and TDS, representing the total amount of matter in the solution, both dissolved and suspended.
• 🏞️ **Environmental Impact**: The presence of TDS and TSS can affect the clarity and color of water, with high levels indicating potential pollution.
• 📝 **Practical Application**: The script suggests using tissue paper as a simple method to differentiate between TSS and TDS in a sample.
• 🔎 **Observation and Conclusion**: By observing the residue on the filter and the filtrate, one can determine the levels of TSS and TDS in a given sample.

Q & A

What are Total Dissolved Solids (TDS)?

Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) are the substances that are dissolved in a solution and cannot be separated by methods like filtering or evaporation. They are only removed by distillation.

How can Total Suspended Solids (TSS) be separated from a solution?

Total Suspended Solids (TSS) can be separated from a solution by allowing the solution to settle or by using filtration. Over time, the solids will settle at the bottom or can be trapped by a filter.

What is the difference between TDS and TSS?

TDS refers to substances that are dissolved in a solution, while TSS refers to substances that are suspended in a solution but not dissolved. TSS can be separated by settling or filtration, whereas TDS cannot.

How can you identify Total Solids in a sample?

Total Solids in a sample can be identified by measuring both Total Suspended Solids (TSS) and Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), and then adding these two values together to get the total amount of solids present.

What happens to TSS when a solution is left to stand undisturbed?

When a solution with TSS is left undisturbed, the suspended solids will eventually settle at the bottom due to gravity, separating from the liquid portion of the solution.

Why is it important to distinguish between dissolved and suspended solids?

Distinguishing between dissolved and suspended solids is important for water quality assessments, wastewater treatment, and environmental monitoring, as they have different impacts on ecosystems and require different treatment methods.

Can TSS be separated using a tissue paper?

Yes, TSS can be separated using a tissue paper as a filter. The tissue paper will trap the suspended solids, allowing the dissolved solids to pass through.

What color change might indicate the presence of TDS in a solution?

The presence of TDS in a solution might cause the solution to have a color, such as a brownish or yellowish tint, depending on the type and concentration of the dissolved substances.

How do you determine the concentration of TSS in a sample?

The concentration of TSS in a sample can be determined by filtering the sample through a tissue paper, allowing the TSS to be trapped, and then measuring the weight of the trapped solids.

What is the role of evaporation in the separation of TDS from a solution?

Evaporation is a process where the solvent (usually water) in a solution is removed by heating, leaving behind the dissolved solids. This process is used to separate TDS from the solution.

How can the clarity of water be affected by TSS and TDS?

The clarity of water can be affected by both TSS and TDS. High levels of TSS can make the water cloudy or turbid, while high levels of TDS can cause the water to have a certain color or taste, indicating the presence of dissolved substances.
