    is the movement of water across a selectively permeable membrane. In osmosis‚ water diffuses across the area of lower solute concentration to that of higher solute concentration until the solute concentrations of the environment and the cell are equal. Tonicity‚ which is the ability of a solution to gain or lose water due to osmosis‚ results in an environment that is isotonic‚ hypertonic‚ or hypotonic. A hypotonic solution has a lower solute concentration than the cell so water moves into the cell

    Sowman | Practical 7: Determination of Hardness in Water | | | | | 10/3/2012 | | Aim: To determine the different types of hardness and alkalinity found in the water by titration methods. This is used to calculate the concentrations of calcium and magnesium found in the water. Principles: The hardness of water is determined to provide a measure of the quality of water for household and industrial use. Hard water is not a health hazard. Drinking hard water contributes a small

    Complexometric Determination of Water Hardness Lab Report Introduction: In this lab the use of disodium salt of EDTA is used to determine the concentration of M^2+ metal ion impurities in hard water by chelometric titration. The indicator Eriochrome Black T will help detect when you EDTA has completely chelated the metal impurities. Chemical Principle: A complex ion consists of a metal ion with Lewis bases attached to it. These Bases form strong covalent bonds with the central complex

    Abstract Water “hardness” was analyzed in this experiment‚ through the determination of CaCO3 concentration. This was achieved by the titration of an unknown solution using a standardized 0.1M EDTA‚ and addition of Eriochrome Black T to the unknown‚ to indicate the endpoint of the titration. The average concentration of CaCO3 obtained was 1034 ppm‚ with a standard deviation of 2.4495. The results indicate that the unknown solution can be considered as hard water. Introduction The hardness

    Lab 7: Determination of Water Hardness Using a Titrator Name: Kyndal Petrie Lab Partners: None Date of Experiment: July 19‚ 2013 Location: My house Course Number: Che112 Abstract: This experiment was to determine the hardness of the local water supply. I determined that from the 1mg of EDTA used to turn the mixture blue‚ that the water from my tap is moderately soft. Experiment and Observation: In this experiment I developed a familiarity with the concept

    The objective of this lab is to determine the hardness of water‚ using the data collected from each titration performed with the unknown sample. Since the hardness of water arises from the presence of metal ions‚ we can use disodium salt of EDTA and the indicator Eriochrome Black T to determine the concentration of M 2+ ( Mg 2+ or Ca 2+) metal ion impurities. Chemical principle or theory involved in this lab: To determine waters hardness we will use a technique called a chelometric titration

    OSMOSIS Aim To determine the water potential of potato tuber cells. Background knowledge Osmosis is defined as the movement of water molecules from a region of higher water potential to a region of lower water potential through a partially permeable membrane. Osmosis is considered in terms of water potential and solute potential. Water potential is a measure of the kinetic energy of water molecules. Here‚ water molecules are constantly moving in a random fashion. Some of them collides with cell

    eInvestigating water potential of swede The aim of our experiment was to investigate the water potential of swede and then use our results to help us determine the water potential of plant tissue. This overall flow of water from a dilute area of high water potential to a more concentrated solution of low water potential across a partially permeable membrane is called osmosis. I predicted that the swede cylinders which are put in a test tube with a low potential of sucrose solution would become

    Complexometric Determination of Water Hardness.            Abstract: Using complexometric method of calculating water hardness‚ an EDTA solution was made and calculated to be around .00209M. This EDTA solution was then used to titrate a water sample with unknown hardness. The sample used was sample #18. The hardness of the sample was calculated to be 180505 ppm. This is within normal levels for the Mesa area.           Introduction:  This experiment focuses on titration with EDTA. Titration
