Lab 2 Water Testing : Lab 2 Water Testing 1. How do chemist know when a certain impurity exists in water?
They perform confirming test to prove that it is there or not
2. What is a typical confirming test?
A chemist will add a chemical to water that will only react with the impurity and with nothing else. It will then form a precipitate
Slide102 : 3. What is a precipitate?
A solid that is formed when a positive and negative ion meet for the first time and fall in love, usually associated with a color change
4. These tests are called qualitative, why?
We are only concerned with figuring out what it is not how much we have(quantitative)
