Introduction
Analytical chemistry is the study of the
separation, identification, and quantification
of the chemical components of natural and
artificial materials.
This type of chemistry is present in many of
our daily lives, in things such as getting
blood work done, hearing a smoke detector
go off, or testing the water in a swimming
pool.
In this we were
asked to test some
samples provided,
along with our own
samples of water.
More specifically we
were asked to
determine water
hardness within the
water tested.
Testing water
hardness is
important because a
high mineral content
can cause large
levels of buildup in
water pipes and
pumps, and lack of
certain minerals can
sometimes corrosion
of pipes.
The primary causes
of water hardness
are calcium and
magnesium ions.

Methods
Week 1
First for each sample 10 mL was
measured out 3 times and the pH was
raised to 10 with the Ammonium buffer
Second for each sample a titration of
EDTA into each sample 3 times was
done.

Discussion
Determining the water quality of these various samples
was done by titration. The purpose of titration was to
determine the concentration of the calcium ions present in
the water samples, by just using the molar solutions of
EDTA and the water samples.
After the EDTA was standardized, the 3 water samples
(USF Water, tap water from Roddric, and bottled Dasani
water) were ready to be tested. A standard amount of
water was measured out from each sample and then mixed
with a basic buffer solution which would bring the pH
samples to 10. When each solution was titrated, the color
of the sample would turn from a pink to a blue color. We
did three trials of each solution for a total of nine trials.
