Data for Bottled Water
Graph the type of water vs. pH, Ca+2, hardness, chloride, bicarbonate, and TDS.
Do you see any interesting observations that would distinguish one type of water from another? Justify your results by evaluating the manufacturer's labels on each type of water as to: source of the water, methods of purification, expiration date, etc.
