Question

You are asked to devise a procedure for quality control in a fertilizer plant to check that the nitrogen and phosphorus content is within a specified range. You decide on the outlined steps to monitor a production run of 1000 bags of fertilizer. A. A 50 g sample is removed from every 100th bag of fertilizer produced, resulting in ten 50 g samples. B. Samples 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9 are thoroughly mixed and a 50 g sample of the mixture is removed. C. Samples 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 and the 50 g sample from the mixture are taken to the analytical laboratory. D. Each 50 g sample is separately dissolved in a fixed volume of water and the solution is filtered to determine the quantity of insoluble material. E. Separate aliquots of the water solutions are subjected to the procedures of phosphorus and nitrogen analysis.

Answer 1

Options : A, B and C are correct procedure for quality control in a fertilizer plant

Step-by-step explanation:

The options that constitute the sampling plan are :

A) A 50 g sample is removed from every 100th bag of fertilizer produced, resulting in ten 50 g samples

B) Samples 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9 are thoroughly mixed and a 50 g sample of the mixture is removed

C) Samples2,4,6,8 and 10 and the 50 g sample from the mixture are taken to the analytical laboratory.

A quality control procedure is used to ensure that a certain product is produced following set standards or meets the required quality desired by the customer . and options A, B and C ensures that.
