PLAN The aim of my investigation is to determine the concentration of limewater solution in g dm-3 as accurately as possible against a standard solution of HCl acid. BACKGROUND INFORMATION ABOUT LIMEWATER Limewater solution is a clear coloured saturated Ca(OH)2 produced when calcium carbonate (limestone) is decomposed to form calcium oxide CaO. Water is then added to form CaO (quicklime), to produce slaked lime. Again, excess water is added to form Ca(OH)2 , limewater. Limewater, which is an alkali is used principally in medicine as an antacid as a neutraliser for acidic poisoning or treatment of burns. Limewater as an alkali would have a pH scale of 9-14. I am going to set up my equipment in the form of an acid/base titration since it is a way of measuring quantities of reactants and can be very useful in determining an unknown concentration or following the progress of a reaction which is...
