비누 용액으로 경수 시험

비누 거품 형성으로 물의 경도 비교하기

Qualitative Analysis Beginner (Middle School) 40 분 ~$6.00

목표

지속적인 거품이 발생하는 데 필요한 비누 용액의 양을 측정하여 물 시료의 상대적 경도를 결정한다.

배경

Hard water contains dissolved calcium and magnesium ions (Ca²⁺, Mg²⁺) that react with soap (sodium stearate) to form an insoluble scum before lather can form. By titrating water samples with a standard soap solution and counting the number of drops needed for a persistent lather, students can rank water hardness and understand the concept of temporary vs. permanent hardness.

안전 경고

  • Soap solution may irritate eyes
  • Ensure stoppers are secure before shaking
  • Let boiled water cool before handling

재료

  • Soap solution (standard) (50 mL)
    Liquid castile soap diluted 1:10
  • Distilled water (50 mL)
    Control (soft water)
  • Tap water (50 mL)
    Unknown hardness
  • Mineral water (50 mL)
    Known mineral content
  • Calcium chloride solution (0.01M) (50 mL)
    Simulated hard water
  • Boiled tap water (50 mL)
    Temporary hardness removed

장비

Stoppered test tubes or small bottles (6) Dropper pipette (calibrated) Measuring cylinder (10 mL) Marker pen

실험 절차

1

Label 6 test tubes: distilled, tap, mineral, CaCl₂, boiled tap. Add 10 mL of each water sample.

5 분
2

Add soap solution one drop at a time to the distilled water. After each drop, stopper and shake vigorously for 10 seconds. Count drops until a lather persists for 30 seconds.

5 분
3

Repeat Step 2 for each water sample, recording the number of drops needed for persistent lather.

20 분
4

Compare results: rank samples from softest (fewest drops) to hardest (most drops).

5 분
5

Compare boiled tap water to unboiled tap water. The difference indicates temporary hardness (from Ca(HCO₃)₂).

5 분

예상 결과

Distilled water requires the fewest drops of soap. CaCl₂ solution requires the most. Boiled tap water should require fewer drops than unboiled tap water, demonstrating removal of temporary hardness.

정리

Pour soapy water down the drain with running water. Rinse all test tubes and stoppers.
