Water Testing Lab Conclusion In this lab‚ chemical tests were used to check for the presence of calcium‚ chloride‚ and sulfate ions in water samples. To do this‚ the testers started with five samples: a reference‚ a sample of only the chemical being tested for‚ a control‚ distilled water‚ two home water samples‚ and a school water sample. To test for the ions in the water‚ a chemical that would react with the ion and create a precipitate was added. If the precipitate was not easily visible‚ a

In conclusion‚ after conducting the lab‚ the emergent properties of water were tested and proved. These trials and experiments were able to verify the adhesion‚ cohesion‚ polarity‚ temperature stabilization‚ solvency‚ and density changes exhibited by water. During the glass and wax paper lab‚ we observed the adhesive properties of water. When a droplet of water touched the glass‚ it dispersed immediately. The droplet placed on the wax paper remained intact and in droplet form. Also‚ when the

Lab Report: Hard Water Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to determine whether a liquid is hard water or not. Background: Hard water is the water that has a high amount of mineral in it‚ usually Ca2+ and Mg+. These cations enter the source of water by leaching from minerals within a wet underground layer of water- bearing rock‚ or an aquifer. According to the WHO‚ hard water is not harmful to human’s health but it’s a serious problem in the water industry. Household plumbing and appliances

Mechanical Testing: Impact and Hardness Testing ME-3701-02 3rd March 2009 Ke Chen Abstract This experiment‚ as may be derived from the title‚ involves testing multiple metallic specimens to determine their toughness‚ strength and hardness. The three tests used to determine these characteristics are called the Charpy Impact test‚ tensile strength test and Rockwell Hardness test. As stated by www.key-to-steel.com {1}‚ “Charpy impact test method for metallic materials is specified by European

Water quality and contamination Tijuana R Harvey SCI207 Dependence of Man on the Environment Instructor: Kathryn Garland Nov.3‚ 2014 Water Quality and Contaminants Water being one of our most precious resources we have to question the quality of our water quality and things that maybe contaminating it. Water affects not only humans it affects other living things such as animals‚ plants‚ and aquatic life and hydroelectric machinery. Some would believe that it should be a human right to have clean

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

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
