Ensure thatthe tip of the suction tube remains sli

25、ghtly below the liquidsurface while removing the 225 mL. Take care not to disturbthe bottom 25-mL layer.8.1.7 Record the tare weight of the weighing dish to anaccuracy of 60.01 g.8.1.8 Gently swirl the remaining suspension to loosen thehard-packed material.
