Lab assistant Jerry Anderson has just finished cleaning a messy lab table and is putting the equipment back on the table when he reads a note telling him not to disturb the positions of three water samples. Not knowing the correct order of the three samples, he finds these facts in the lab notes.
• The water that is highest in sulfur was on one end.
• The water that is highest in iron is in the Erlenmeyer flask.
• The water taken from the spring is not next to the water in the bottle.
• The water that is highest in calcium is left of the water taken from the lake.
• The water in the Erlenmeyer flask, the water taken from the well, and the water that is highest in sulfur are three distinct samples.
• The water in the round flask is not highest in calcium.
Determine which water sample goes where. Identify each sample by its container, source, element, and position.
