Lab Report: Hard Water Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to determine whether a liquid is hard water or not. Background: Hard water is the water that has a high amount of mineral in it‚ usually Ca2+ and Mg+. These cations enter the source of water by leaching from minerals within a wet underground layer of water- bearing rock‚ or an aquifer. According to the WHO‚ hard water is not harmful to human’s health but it’s a serious problem in the water industry. Household plumbing and appliances

Determination of a Rate Law Megan Gilleland 10.11.2012 Dr. Charles J. Horn Abstract: This two part experiment is designed to determine the rate law of the following reaction‚ 2I-(aq) + H2O2(aq) + 2H+I2(aq) + 2H2O(L)‚ and to then determine if a change in temperature has an effect on that rate of this reaction. It was found that the reaction rate=k[I-]^1[H2O2+]^1‚ and the experimental activation energy is 60.62 KJ/mol. Introduction The rate of a chemical reaction often

Mechanical Testing: Impact and Hardness Testing ME-3701-02 3rd March 2009 Ke Chen Abstract This experiment‚ as may be derived from the title‚ involves testing multiple metallic specimens to determine their toughness‚ strength and hardness. The three tests used to determine these characteristics are called the Charpy Impact test‚ tensile strength test and Rockwell Hardness test. As stated by www.key-to-steel.com {1}‚ “Charpy impact test method for metallic materials is specified by European

Water quality and contamination Tijuana R Harvey SCI207 Dependence of Man on the Environment Instructor: Kathryn Garland Nov.3‚ 2014 Water Quality and Contaminants Water being one of our most precious resources we have to question the quality of our water quality and things that maybe contaminating it. Water affects not only humans it affects other living things such as animals‚ plants‚ and aquatic life and hydroelectric machinery. Some would believe that it should be a human right to have clean

Water Analysis Lab Report Purpose: In this lab we will be testing a number of water samples. These water samples come from various water sources. Each of these water samples will undergo four different tests. The four tests include a pH test‚ a conductivity test‚ a total and phenolphthalein and alkalinity test‚ and a total hardness test. This lab requires comprehension of lab material and techniques learned in prior labs (Kippenhan‚ 2012). Procedure: Each

PRE-LAB QUESTIONS: 1) What cations are responsible for water hardness? Ca2+ and Mg2+ are responsible for water hardness 2) Calculate the mass of disodium Ethylenediaminetetraacetate required to prepare 250 mL of a 0.010 M solution. Mass = M x L x MM 0.010 M x 0.250 L x 372.24 g/mol = 0.93g of Na2H2Y 3) What is the molar concentration of the Na2H2Y solution? mol Ca = M x L 0.0107 M x 0.025 L = 2.65 x 10-4 mol if 1 mol of Ca = 1 mol Na2H2Y then: M of Na2H2Y = mol / L 2

Determination is a positive emotion that involves persevering towards a difficult goal in spite of obstacles.[1][2] Determination occurs prior to goal attainment and serves to motivate behavior that will help achieve one’s goal. Empirical research suggests that people consider determination to be an emotion; in other words‚ determination is not just a cognitive state‚ but rather an affective state.[3] In the psychology literature‚ researchers have studied determination under other terms‚ including
