      • To investigate hardness in water: Put a known volume of water into a boiling tube. Add soap solution, one drop at a time, and shake the mixture for 10 seconds. Record the number of drops of soap needed to make a lather. The greater the number of drops needed to make a stable lather, the harder the water.

  2. Try this practical with your students to measure the hardness of water samples and investigate the effect of boiling. Includes kit list and safety instructions. Skip to main content

  3. The properties of hard water have advantages and disadvantages. It is possible to measure the hardness of water, and distillation can be used to soften hard water. Part of Chemistry (Single...

  4. In this experiment, students observe as the teacher prepares temporarily hard water by bubbling carbon dioxide through limewater. This water is then boiled to leave a solid residue, which can then be tested using hydrochloric acid, before boiling a sample of permanently hard water for comparison.

  5. Hard water is caused by the presence of naturally occurring calcium and magnesium salts in water. In this online experiment you will measure the total hardness of a water sample by following the chemical reaction of Ca2+ and Mg2+ ions with ethylene-di-amine-tetra-acetic acid (EDTA).

  6. EXPERIMENT – 1 Estimation of Hardness of Water by EDTA Method. INTRODUCTION. Water hardness is the traditional measure of the capacity of water to precipitate soap. Hard water requiring a considerable amount of soap to produce leather. Scaling of hot water pipes, boilers and other house hold appliances is due to hard water.

  7. In this experiment we talk about what makes hard water 'hard' and why that can be a problem at home. We then titrate samples of water with EDTA to determine the level of hardness in various...
