  2. Total dissolved solids - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_dissolved_solids

    Total dissolved solids ( TDS) is a measure of the dissolved combined content of all inorganic and organic substances present in a liquid in molecular, ionized, or micro-granular ( colloidal sol) suspended form. TDS are often measured in parts per million (ppm). TDS in water can be measured using a digital meter.

  3. Safety data sheet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safety_data_sheet

    Safety data sheet. A safety data sheet ( SDS ), [1] material safety data sheet ( MSDS ), or product safety data sheet ( PSDS) is a document that lists information relating to occupational safety and health for the use of various substances and products. SDSs are a widely used type of fact sheet used to catalogue information on chemical species ...

  4. Total suspended solids - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_suspended_solids

    Total suspended solids ( TSS) is the dry-weight of suspended particles, that are not dissolved, in a sample of water that can be trapped by a filter that is analyzed using a filtration apparatus known as sintered glass crucible. TSS is a water quality parameter used to assess the quality of a specimen of any type of water or water body, ocean ...

    Also acid ionization constant or acidity constant. A quantitative measure of the strength of an acid in solution expressed as an equilibrium constant for a chemical dissociation reaction in the context of acid-base reactions. It is often given as its base-10 cologarithm, p K a. acid–base extraction A chemical reaction in which chemical species are separated from other acids and bases. acid ...

  6. Hard water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_water

    A French degree (°fH or °f) is defined as 10 mg/L CaCO 3, equivalent to 10 ppm. Hard/soft classification [ edit ] As it is the precise mixture of minerals dissolved in the water, together with water's pH and temperature, that determine the behaviour of the hardness, a single-number scale does not adequately describe hardness.

  7. Parts-per notation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parts-per_notation

    Parts-per notation is often used describing dilute solutions in chemistry, for instance, the relative abundance of dissolved minerals or pollutants in water. The quantity "1 ppm" can be used for a mass fraction if a water-borne pollutant is present at one-millionth of a gram per gram of sample solution. When working with aqueous solutions, it ...

  8. Brine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brine

    Brine (or briny water) is water with a high-concentration solution of salt (typically sodium chloride or calcium chloride).In diverse contexts, brine may refer to the salt solutions ranging from about 3.5% (a typical concentration of seawater, on the lower end of that of solutions used for brining foods) up to about 26% (a typical saturated solution, depending on temperature).

  9. Distilled water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distilled_water

    Distilled water. Distilled water is water that has been boiled into vapor and condensed back into liquid in a separate container. Impurities in the original water that do not boil below or near the boiling point of water remain in the original container. Thus, distilled water is a type of purified water .
