### Experimental Practices in Water Hardness Testing**Scenario:**A student is in the process of testing a water sample for hardness. However, they encounter a significant issue: the sample is exceptionally hard. After emptying the buret once, the endpoint has not been reached. Refilling the buret is not suggested as it is considered a poor practice. **Question:**What alternative methods can the student employ to perform the experiment more accurately and efficiently for subsequent samples?**Suggestions for Improvement:**1. **Dilution of the Sample:** - The student could dilute the hard water sample with a known volume of distilled water to reduce the concentration of hardness ions.2. **Use of a Larger Buret:** - Utilizing a buret with a larger capacity can prevent the need for multiple fillings, thus providing a more continuous titration process.3. **Pre-Titration Estimate:** - Conduct a preliminary titration using a small volume of the sample to estimate the amount of titrant needed for the entire sample. This can help in planning the titration process better for the actual experiment.4. **Incremental Addition of Titrant:** - Add the titrant in larger, measured increments initially and then switch to smaller increments as the endpoint approaches. This speeds up the process without compromising accuracy.By considering these methods, the student can achieve more accurate and efficient results in testing water samples for hardness, while avoiding the necessity of refilling the buret frequently.

spectrophotometric techniques are used to measure the hardness of the water. Hardness in water is…

3. Suppose that a student is testing a water sample for hardness, but has found that the sample is so hard that after emptying the buret once, the endpoint has still not been reached. Other than refilling the buret, which is a technique that should be avoided, what could the student do to perform the experiment more accurately and efficiently for subsequent samples?
