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

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

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

Water Quality and Contamination Water Quality and Contamination Introduction Abstract My lab report was based on how ground water could be affected by contaminants that surround us everyday. “ Access to safe drinking water depends not only on the quality of water at source but also on contamination throughout it’s way to the user and practices related to purification and sanitation” ( Mishra‚ S.‚ & Nandeshwar‚ S. 2013).I was very surprised that the detergent

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

Topic 6 Water Quality and Water Management What determines water quality? Drinking water should be colorless‚ odorless and flavorless; this means that there are no organisms and sediments in the water‚ but it does not mean that if your drinking water look‚ smells and taste clean‚ that does not mean that there is nothing else it. Water also contains dissolved solids: •Sulfur •Calcium •Magnesium If water contains a lot of dissolved calcium and magnesium it is called hard water

First‚ I observed the effects that different pollutants had on groundwater. I predicted that the experiments with the oil and vinegar would create the most contaminations to the water. When the laundry detergent were mixed with the groundwater

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
