  1. Iron Analysis in Water

  2. What is the chemical formula, chemical structure, molar mass and the CAS Registry number of the analyte you will be working with? • Iron does not have a chemical formula or chemical structure. • FeCl3 • Chemical formula- FeCl3 • Molar Mass- 162.2 g/mol (FeCl3 ) / 55.845g/mol(Iron) • CAS Registry number- 7705-08-0 (FeCl3) / 7439-89-6(iron)

  3. What are the health benefits of consuming the chemical you are working with? • It is a mineral essential for life. It is necessary for the production of hemoglobin (primary component of red blood cells), myoglobin (major protein of muscle cells), and certain enzymes, and it is in every cell. Iron helps the blood and muscles deliver oxygen, and it is also important to many immune system functions. The body self-monitors and regulates the use and absorption of iron for varying of needs.

  4. What are the health benefits of consuming the chemical you are working with? • Some Health Benefits of Iron in Human Nutrition Are: • For anemia • For exhaustion and fatigue • For immune system • For protein metabolism • For respiratory system • For skin tone • For energy and mental acuity • For normal growth and development

  5. What are the health risks of consuming too much of the chemical you are working with? • When you are about 18 years of age, excess iron begins to accumulate at about 1 milligram per day. This excess iron in the bloodstream is called unbound iron, or free iron. This can build up in the body for years and can become the instigator of health problems as people get older.

  6. What are the health risks of consuming too much of the chemical you are working with? • Iron needs to be constantly replenished, and excessive intake of iron can result in more harm to the body then benefits. • Excessive iron consumption is the leading cause of poisoning in children. A 200mg dose can cause death. • Nausea, vomiting, diabetes and cancer can be caused by excess amounts of iron, and the highest risk is heart disease (a heightened risk for smokers and patients with high cholesterol).

  7. What is the normal or acceptable amount of your group's analyte, in the substance you will be analyzing? • Iron concentration in wells and aquifers varies between 0.5 and 10mg/L, and, because of treatment, iron concentration in drinking water is typically less than 0.3mg/L.

  8. What other chemicals are required to do the analysis? (And MSDS) • Iron Standard Solution 10 ± 0.1 mg/l as Fe- http://www.sciencestuff.com/msds/C1935.html • FerroVer® Iron Reagent- http://www.conncoll.edu/offices/ehs/EnvhealthDocs/FerroVer.pdf
