Chemistry Honors Which Type of Water is the Hardest? Hardness is the quality in water that is imparted by the presence of dissolved salts‚ especially calcium and magnesium. Hardness refers to how many mineral particles there are in water. The harder the water is‚ higher the contents of minerals. A geologist is a person who specialized in geologic research and study; a hydrologist is a geologist that studies the circulation‚ distribution‚ and properties of the waters of the earth and its atmosphere

Experiment 05 Water Hardness October 8th‚ 2013 The hardness of water was determined using the methods of titration‚ conductivity‚ and pH analysis. The mean and uncertainty of CaCO3 is 134±36.0 ppm. An error that could have potentially happened could be that the equivalence point was not correctly established causing inaccurate data. BACKGROUND: 1In hard water there is a high amount of mineral content present in the water. Most of the mineral content that is present

experiment:11-20-13 Date submitted: 11-23-13 Determination of Water Hardness Using a Titrator Purpose: This purpose of this experiment was to determine the hardness of the local water supply. Be familiar with using a titrator. To tell wether your water is hard or soft. Hard water however does not create a threat‚ but is bad for your pipes causing them to crust. To measure water’s “softness” you are truly measuring the amount of CaCO3 in the water. Procedure: Assemble the titration and stockpot

Title: Determination of Water Hardness Using a Titrator Purpose: To become familiar with the concept of water hardness‚ practice a titration technique using a titrator‚ and determine the hardness of the local water supply. Procedure: 1. Gather the test tube holder‚ small stopcock‚ 10-mL syringe (titrator)‚ and 2 thick textbooks and the LabPaq box or 5-6 thick textbooks. 2. Remove the plunger from the titrator and place it back in your LabPaq box. 3. Attach the stopcock to the tip of

Determination of Water Hardness Using a Titrator Heather Crall Chemistry 1 SMT- 271044 10/17/2012 Abstract From seeing all of my results and conclusion I now see that I didn’t understand this lab very well and that its not easy when others try to help. Since I have hard water it tells me that my water flows over and through rocks and minerals‚ like limestone. Purpose The purpose of this lab is to become familiar with the concept of water hardness. We learn that hard water contains

INVESTIGATION #2 DETERMINATION OF THE WATER OF CRYSTALLISATION April 4‚ 2012 OBJECTIVE: Chemical compounds that contain discrete water molecules as part of their crystalline structure are called hydrates. Hydrates occur quite commonly among chemical substances‚ especially among ionic substances. More often than not‚ such compounds are either prepared in‚ or are recrystallized from‚ aqueous solutions. Hydrates exist for ionic compounds most commonly‚ but hydrates of polar and non polar covalent molecules

Introduction Why: The goal of this experiment is to determine the water hardness of the prepared unknown water sample. Determining water hardness is a useful test that measures the quality of water for its household and industrial users. Water’s hardness arises from the presence of metal ions – specifically metal ions with a charge of +2 or higher. The ‘scum’ left over in a cleaned shower stall or coffee pot is equivalent to water hardness. Water dissolves salts which contains ions of sodium‚ magnesium‚

Determination of Water in a Hydrate DESIGN – Aspect 1: Defining the problem & selecting variables Research Question: What percentage of Copper Sulfate Hydrate is water? Background Information: There are many ionic compounds that contain one or more waters of hydration in their formulae. They exists either in anhydrous or hydrated form. Most anhydrous compounds have a strong tendency to absorb water from the humidity in the atmosphere and shifts into a hydrated form. Because of

Complexometric Determination of Water Hardness Mike Monaghan CHM 152LL 01/27/2013 Abstract: What can be found from this experiment is as follows‚ Introduction/Background: This lab was about determining water hardness. Water hardness is the amount of metal ions in the water. The most common found ion in the water is calcium ions and typically with a charge of +2. Water hardness plays a big significance in our daily life because to many metal ions in our drinking water can have adverse
