Chapter 5, Problem 53Q
Hard water may contain Mg2+ and Ca2+ ions. The process of water softening removes these ions.
- a. How hard is the water in your local area? One way to answer this question is to determine the number of water-softening companies in your area. Use the Internet to find out if your area is targeted for the marketing of water-softening devices.
- b. If you chose to treat your hard water, what are the options?

Choose the best explanation from the choices below. No. Since the instrument calculates 12 digits for all values, they should all be kept and not truncated. Doing so would eliminate significant information. No. Since the instrument calculates 5 decimal places for the standard, all of the values should be limited to the same number. The other decimal places are not significant for the blank and unknown sample. Yes. The way Saman made the standards was limited by the 250-mL volumetric flask. This glassware can report values to 2 decimal places, and this establishes our number of significant figures. Yes. Instrumental data…arrow_forward
