what is difference between moisture contents and water contents ?

Answer Posted / jörgen held

The moisture content of a solid is expressed as the quantity of water per unit mass of the dry solid.
The water content is expressed as the quantity of water per unit mass of the wet solid.
Take biomass as an example. If 1 kg wet biomass consists of 0.7 kg biomass and 0.3 kg of water the moisture content is 0.3/0.7 = 0.42857 but the water content is 0.3.

I have compare C2H2-air and C2H2-N2O flame AAS on determination calcium. Both use same range of std to plot calibration curve. (2-6ppm) When i measure the sample with phosphate, KCl and LaCl, C2H2-N2O flame give false positive result, around 0.5ppm. When i measure the sample with phosphste, KCl and EDTA. C2H2-N2O flame also give 0.5ppm false positive. But both above mentioned sample would not give false positive when measured by C2H2-air flame. What is the reason?
