drinking water samples from different places using four of the standard drinking water tests required by the EPA. The experiment will be performed by a four person group‚ with each person providing a different water sample. The four tests to be performed are: pH‚ conductivity‚ phenolphthalein and total alkalinity‚ and total and non-carbonate hardness. Data from these four tests will be gathered and analyzed‚ drawing conclusions “about the validity of the data as well as the quality of water” (Kippenhan

DETERMINATION OF FRUIT ACIDS BY TITRATION AND CALCULATION OF THE SUGAR/ACID RATIO It is the sugar/acid ratio which contributes towards giving many fruits their characteristic flavour and so is an indicator of commercial and organoleptic ripeness. At the beginning of the ripening process the sugar/acid ratio is low‚ because of low sugar content and high fruit acid content‚ this makes the fruit taste sour. During the ripening process the fruit acids are degraded‚ the sugar content increases and

Determination of Equilibrium Constants Introduction Bromothymol blue is an indicator for many acid-base titrations. When adding different solutions within the indicator it is to react and change colors‚ in this experiment the different colors were blue‚ green‚ and yellow. In the following experiment‚ obtaining the absorbance levels for each one makes it possible to calculate the equilibrium constant. Materials and Methods For this specific experiment there are a few materials that are crucial

THE GRAVIMETRIC DETERMINATION OF SULFATE Learning Goals. 1. To determine the amount of Sulfate in an Unknown sulphate sample. 2. To perform and develop skills in precipitation Gravimetric method of quantitative analysis. DISCUSSION: Gravimetric analysis is one of the oldest analytical techniques and for this reason is referred to as a "classical method." Gravimetric procedures are usually very accurate‚ but more tedious than other methods. The only major equipment needed

With the introduction of the theme of struggle and determination‚ come great stories. The human race takes pride in what they have accomplished throughout their existence. As they are highly regarded for their accomplishments‚ they leave a legacy that will never be taken for granted. Ernest Hemingway’s The Old Man and The Sea‚ highlights those key components of struggle and determination. The protagonist‚ Santiago prevailed even in times of hardships and doubts; as a result‚ he was highly regarded

GRAVIMETRIC DETERMINATION OF SULFATE Purpose You will be given a solid powder‚ which has been dried to constant mass. The sample is water soluble. The purpose of this experiment is to determine the concentration of sulfate in your solid sample using gravimetric analysis. Background Gravimetric Analysis The goal of most quantitative chemical analysis measurements is to estimate the relative abundance of an analyte in a chemical sample. For solid and liquid samples‚ a very common expression
