Determination of the Hardness of Water
Location: CL2 Mendeleev Lab Instructor: Yunjuan, Zhang Instructions: Water hardness is an important monitoring index of water quality. By testing the hardness of the water, we can determine whether the water can be used in industrial production and daily life. The total hardness of water refers to the total amount of Ca2+ and Mg2+ in the water. The higher the content of calcium and magnesium in water, the harder the water. The total hardness of...
