Question
Hi,
I am a grade 11 chemistry student. For my assignment i must test the water qualities of two substances. I have searched everywhere on the internet for methods on how to test the quality of water, yet i havn't found any methods. Apart form Ph levels, is there any other type of test i can conduct on water? if you could please just give me the name of the test, and i could google it myself that would be very helpful.
Thanks you so much for your help
Regards
Rishan
Sorry hit the wrong button.
There are no easy tests that can be done n a high school lab.
You really need a kit. The best place to find these is at a
pet store that sells fish, a pool store, or a water treatment company.
With the kits you can test for ammonia and similar species.
A high school lab is just not going to have the chemicals or
instruments.
