Abstract: Water potential is the measure of free energy of water in a solution. The purpose of this lab was to find the water potential of a potato cell. The problem of this lab was‚ if there was a high molarity of solute‚ would it have a positive or negative water potential? The hypothesis of the experiment was‚ if there is a high molarity of solute then the water potential would be lower or negative. After obtaining potatoes‚ we cut them into pieces‚ weighed them‚ and then placed them in a solution

The first lab we did was overall fascinating. Each station had something different to offer and revealed results that I would not have guessed. The exercise that profoundly stuck out to me the most was the “water tank‚” lab. The procedure of the lab was to shoot a red laser beam into the tank of water from three different directions. I first shot the laser from above the water surface‚ then from below‚ and finally from the side of the tank. Interestingly enough‚ each direction‚ the laser would bend

Lab Title: "The Effect of Salt on the Boiling Point of Water" Lab Question: How does adding salt to water affects it’s boiling point? Prediction : In this paper‚ a newly proposed model based on solvation between pure solvent and salt for prediction of salt effect on vapor–liquid equilibria is presented by using only the vapor pressure depression data of pure solvent+salt systems that compose the mixed solvent with salt system Materials : 200 mL of distilled water‚ 2 beakers

The purpose of this lab was to model the significant differences in density that oceans experience when glaciers and polar ice caps melt. It demonstrated that the variation in density greatly affects salt water. I discovered that the increase in freshwater causes a decrease in density. I made three claims. First‚ the higher the salinity of the water is‚ the denser it will be. This was shown in my data by the fact that‚ with 0mL of fresh water‚ the density was 1.108 g/mL For every milliliter of fresh

atomic group called a phosphate. The phosphate groups are linked to one another by chemical bonds called phosphate bonds. The energy of ATP is locked in these bonds. The energy in ATP can be released as heat or can be used in the cell as a power source to drive various types of chemical and mechanical activities. For example‚ when the terminal phosphate group of the ATP molecule is removed by hydrolysis (a decomposition process that occurs when a substance reacts with water)‚ energy in the form of

Water Testing Lab Conclusion In this lab‚ chemical tests were used to check for the presence of calcium‚ chloride‚ and sulfate ions in water samples. To do this‚ the testers started with five samples: a reference‚ a sample of only the chemical being tested for‚ a control‚ distilled water‚ two home water samples‚ and a school water sample. To test for the ions in the water‚ a chemical that would react with the ion and create a precipitate was added. If the precipitate was not easily visible‚ a

In conclusion‚ after conducting the lab‚ the emergent properties of water were tested and proved. These trials and experiments were able to verify the adhesion‚ cohesion‚ polarity‚ temperature stabilization‚ solvency‚ and density changes exhibited by water. During the glass and wax paper lab‚ we observed the adhesive properties of water. When a droplet of water touched the glass‚ it dispersed immediately. The droplet placed on the wax paper remained intact and in droplet form. Also‚ when the

Bohnenberger Professor Van Doorn ENVS 150-002 2 March 2015 Water Quality Lab Report Introduction: When people are asked about how water is characterized‚ they usually will think of saltwater‚ freshwater‚ safe-to-drink freshwater‚ and tap water. Only a few people understand that water and its quality are characterized in several other ways beyond salt‚ fresh‚ and tap water. In 1967‚ the Water Quality Act‚ which was an amendment of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act‚ was passed. The Act required
