Experiment 7: Pulsing in a Stock Solution of Lime

Overview

The purpose of this experiment was to test pulsing lime into the two apparatuses. Because both apparatuses fail after a shorter time than desired, it was hypothesized that the lime initially added to the apparatus (100 grams) eventually reached a point where it would no longer properly dissolve and raise the pH. Thus, more lime was needed as the experiment progressed. However, adding 100 grams each time would severely overwhelm the system. The following calculations were performed to determine the appropriate amount of lime that needed to be pulsed in every 6 hours:
