Introduction: In this lab a total of six titrations are to be performed. Three of them will be done using a known Ca2+ solution‚ (1.000 g CaCO3 /L solution) and three of them will be done using an unknown solution obtained from the stock room. 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

Introduction A system is considered in a state of equilibrium when its properties do not change at time passes. Equilibrium is a state of a reaction where the concentration of all the reactants and all the products remain constant over time. Equilibrium as used in chemical systems means that all the chemical forces in a reaction are in balance and that all physical properties of the system (color‚ density and concentration) of all chemicals species involved remains constant. The equilibrium state
