| The Chemistry of Natural Waters | Chem 111 Sec 104 | | Hyunjung Hwang | 11/6/2012 | TA: Sarah Boehm‚ Group members: Rachel Hoffman‚ Dan Hirt | Introduction Water hardness is a major part of overall water quality that affects many industrial and domestic water users. Water is considered hard when there are high concentrations of the divalent cations Magnesium and Calcium; water hardness is considered as the sum of both the calcium and magnesium concentrations and expressed as

Purpose: The purpose of this experiment is to observe the colours produced when the solutions of metal ions are heated to high temperatures‚ then to explain the results in terms of the energy levels of the metal ions. Lastly‚ to use the flame colours to identify a series of unknowns. Hypothesis: Substance being tested Predicted flame colour NaCl(s) Yellow NaCl Red-Orange NaNO3 Dark Orange LiNO3 Red Sr(NO3)2 Dark Red KNO3 Blue-Indigo Ba(NO3)2 Yellow-Green Cu(NO3)2 Green Ca(NO3)2

Determining the Concentration of an Unknown Solution Graph: The effect of concentration of CuS04 * 5H20 on transmittance. I solved for my unknown by plugging in “y” as my given transmittance value‚ which was 85.0. y = -278x + 100.12 .85 = -278x + 100.12 -99.27 = -278x X = .357M (concentration) The relationship between the transmittance values and the concentration is an indirect relationship. Whenever the concentration increases‚ the transmittance decreases. It can also be reversed

Title of the Experiment: determination of densities Introduction The density of a sample of matter represents the mass contained within a unit volume of space in the sample. For most samples‚ a unit volume means 1.0 ml. The units of density‚ therefore‚ are quoted in terms of grams per milliliter (g/ml) or grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm3) for most solid and liquid samples of matter. Density is often used as a point of identification in the determination of an unknown substance. The density

Nuclear Chemistry: The Good vs. the Ugly The definition for nuclear chemistry is the application of chemical techniques to the solution of problems in nuclear physics. This includes the discovery of naturally occurring and synthetic radioactive elements and the results of nuclear fission. There are both pros and cons in nuclear chemistry. People believe that nuclear chemistry is bad for the environment but there are a lot of great things that can come out of this. Things like medical uses‚ food
