Sample 1 - from boom

Water and container 19.842 grams
Hexane, Sample, and container 19.515 grams
Container 16.628 grams

Water from boom 3.214 grams
Hexane and Sample 2.887 grams

Sample and container after evaporation 16.310 grams
Sample 2

Water and container 27.758 grams
Hexane, Sample, and container 18.724 grams
Container 16.628 grams

Water 11.13 grams
Hexane and Sample 2.096 grams

Sample and container after evaporation 15.391 grams


Sample 3 - (sample for pH testing)

Water and container 28.228 grams
Hexane, Sample, and container 19.413 grams
Container 16.628 grams


Water 11.600 grams
Hexane and Sample 2.785 grams

Sample and container after evaporation. 16.184 grams

This test proved inconclusive, as the results found were not accurate. I.e. The mass of "sample and container after evaporation" was less than the mass of the original "container".
