Lab 2 – Water Quality and Contamination Experiment 1: Effects of Groundwater Contamination Table 1: Water Observations (Smell‚ Color‚ Etc.) Beaker Observations 1 Water is clear and uncontaminated. 2 All of the vegetable oil goes to the top of the beaker. 3 The water looks slightly cloudy but not too contaminated. 4 The water changed colors with the detergent and was clearly contaminated. 5 Water was murky from the dirt. 6 The water did not look as contaminated filtering with oil as it did with

| The Chemistry of Natural Waters | Chem 111 Sec 104 | | Hyunjung Hwang | 11/6/2012 | TA: Sarah Boehm‚ Group members: Rachel Hoffman‚ Dan Hirt | Introduction Water hardness is a major part of overall water quality that affects many industrial and domestic water users. Water is considered hard when there are high concentrations of the divalent cations Magnesium and Calcium; water hardness is considered as the sum of both the calcium and magnesium concentrations and expressed as

Purpose: During our lab‚ Galileo’s Water Clock‚ we created our lab to describe the motion of a ball on a plane using the water clock as an alternative method for measuring time. Our main purpose in this lab was to determine if the displacement of the ball is determined by the time or the time squared. Procedure: Once the water clock was set up‚ a ball was let go from the ramp at various distances for three trials each. Once the ball was let go‚ the water clamp was opened and then immediately

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

UNKNOWN SAMPLE #97 COMPLEXOMETRIC DETERMINATION OF WATER HARDNESS DR. BUDRUK CHM 152 LL SEAN MARKIS 4 FEBRUARY 2015 Introduction Using a Lewis base neutral molecule to donate electron pairs (ligands) to a Lewis acid metal ion center to form a single cluster (complex) ion. When the complex ions forms with a metal ion (chelation) the ligand used is called the (chelating agent). EDTA acts as a great chelating agent due to the Nitrogen and Oxygen donating an electron pair to the

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 high

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

Diffusion Lab Research Question: How does the amount of water in a beaker affect the rate at which food coloring diffuses to the bottom of the beaker? Independent Variable: Height of water in beaker (Inches) Dependent Variable: Rate of diffusion (seconds) Controlled Variables: * Size of beaker * Temperature of water (23°C) * Type/color of food coloring * Person Timing * Environmental conditions Materials: * Beaker(well over 4 in tall) * Food coloring * Tap water(23°C)

Percent Water in a Hydrate PURPOSE To determine the percent water in a hydrate sample. INTRODUCTION Many substances contain water molecules as a part of their crystal structure. We call such solids hydrates‚ and we call the bound water the water of hydration. A hydrate has a definite number of water molecules bound to each anhydrous salt unit. The formula of the hydrate copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate is CuSO4 · 5 H2O The dot indicates that the molecules of water are attached to the ions in

SHC of water • To see how accurately I can measure a known quantity Research Question • Will the experiment carried out give us a good approximation of the SHC of water? Hypothesis • The result we will get as the SHC of water will not be exactly the same as the literature value‚ but will be a very close figure to the literature value of the SHC of water as there will be some limitations to our experiment. Variables Independent: temperature of water Dependent: SHC of water Controlled:
