The Chemistry of Natural Waters

Introduction

When considering the amount of bottled water that is consumed every day, very little is contemplated when choosing what brand to buy. The contents in each of the water brands is vital information one should know before purchasing because it informs the consumer about many measurements including Calcium and Magnesium concentration, total dissolved solids, total hardness, and the water source for each brand. Each of these factors play a role in deciding whether a brand is healthy for the body, or not quite ideal. Knowing what each of these measurements suggests and how they work together is the first step to understanding water content and how greatly

It will ultimately measure the absorption of calcium and magnesium for the sample. Next is the usage of the conductivity meter; after filling a well with the sample, place the probe into the well. This will read a total dissolved solid value for the

Each sample had quite a different value for hardness, causing a high standard deviation and more spread-out results. Because of this, the other factors were relied on heavily to distinguish between the different waters because of the lack of similarity. Although B1 and C1 can be definitively identified, A1 could also be predicted using the components within the
