    In this lab we used samples of Cement Creek to learn new things about working in a chemistry lab. We performed a titration to measure the amount of concentration in a given solution. We then, used pH probes and pH paper to measures changes in pH levels also, calculated the amount of dissolved metals present in a solution. When looking at our results after completing this lab we haven't found anything that would be harmful to humans.
