developed to "soften" hard water; i.e.‚ remove the calcium and magnesium ions. Water can be softened in a number of ways. An automatic water softener connected to water supply pipes removes magnesium and calcium from water and replaces them with sodium. Sodium does not react with soap or detergents. If you don’t have an automatic water softener‚ you can still soften laundry water by adding softeners directly to the wash water. These softeners combine with calcium and magnesium‚ preventing the minerals from

predominantly calcium and magnesium‚ and is measured as the equivalent concentration of calcium carbonate (in milligrams per litre). Water hardness is usually noticed because of difficulty in lathering soap and the formation of a scum in the bathtub. Ca2+ and Mg2+ form insoluble salts with soaps causing precipitation of the soap scum. Another effect of hard water is “boiler scale”. When hard water comes into contact with dissolved carbonates‚ a precipitate of insoluble calcium carbonate forms

Complexes will form from sodium EDTA reacting with impurities because each element from disodium EDTA carboxylic acid groups will donate an electron pair to the metal impurities ion center. ammonia/ammonium chloride buffer used in today’s lab will reassure calcium metal ions and metal ions in unknown water sample remain in solution being determined for accurate

History of Calcium- Calcium is a very interesting element that has a lot to tell about itself. There is much history to be learned about calcium. Calcium was actually discovered by Humphry Davy in 1808. Calcium’s name happens to come from the latin ‘calx’ meaning lime. Lime (calcium oxide‚ CaO) was a useful material that was created by heating limestone. Before the discovery of calcium‚ a man named Antoine Lavoisier classified the lime as “earth” because it was very difficult‚ almost

Self Heating Food and Drink Cans Heater meals – originally developed for military use – are ready-made self-heating meal packs. They can be heated in many ways – by pressing a button on the packaging‚ unwrapping and shaking the pack‚ or pouring the contents of one bag into another and waiting for a few minutes – all of which use exothermic chemical reactions. These meals can be used to motivate students to study such reactions relatively safely and without the use of a burner. Plus there is the

Fireworks were created for the purpose of entertainment and today they are used in celebration to mark special occasions. Behind all the excitement of fireworks‚ chemistry plays an important role in creating the variety of colors we witness lighting up in the sky. Creating firework colors is a complex‚ There are two main mechanisms of color production in fireworks‚ incandescence and luminescence. All light has some color and color is produced by our perception of light. So light and color

SCH 3U0 May 7th 2013 Percent Yield of Calcium Carbonate Introduction: The purpose of this experiment is to examine the percent yield of a precipitate in a double displacement reaction. A solution of calcium citrate and sodium carbonate were mixed together‚ then the products were filtered out as so only the precipitate remained. The filtered paper was then dried and the mass of the precipitate in the experiment divided by the theoretical mass of the precipitate from the calculated gave the

COCONUT SUGAR ADDED WITH ANTI-FERMENATION AGENT – WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE! Anti-fermentation agent made of lime‚ calcium hydroxide or sodium metabisulfite are openly and traditionally use by most coconut sugar producing countries. Adding Anti-fermentation agent is use as customarily use by coconut sugar processor if they will harvest the coconut sap every 12 hours like every 6:00 AM and 6:00PM. The advantages of using of anti-fermentation agents is they are able to used taller coconut trees at lower

Describe the role of calcium in muscle contraction‚ where it is stored‚ and how it is released and recycled. Calcium storage‚ release‚ and recycling Muscles need to be malleable or have plasticity in order to function correctly. This is where calcium comes into the picture. All muscles use calcium molecules for regulatory and signaling purposes. Contraction control and relaxation control by calcium is achieved first by the activation of troponin-tropomyosin with the actin filaments. The second
