The central challenge in this kit is determining the hardness of a water sample. Students will be tasked with designing a procedure in the guided inquiry section to determine the hardness of water. Students are tasked with determining which of six water samples, representing different areas in their community, require a water softening system. Gravimetric Analysis is the central technique used to analyze the sample. Includes Calcium chloride and sodium carbonate. Requires a 250 mL Buchner funnel, No. 6 Buchner funnel rubber stopper, aspirator or vacuum pump, rubber tubing, analytical balance, drying oven, and ring stand/clamps, available separately.
