Water Pollution and Its Effects on the Environment Water is probably the most important resource we as people have. Humans can survive without food for several weeks‚ but without water we would die in less than a week. On a slightly less dramatic note‚ millions of liters of water are needed every day worldwide for washing‚ irrigating crops‚ and cooling industrial processes‚ not to mention leisure industries such as swimming pools and water-sports centers. Despite our dependence on water‚ we use

The Effect of Salt Concentration on Osmosis in Potato Cells We should first explain what Osmosis is. It’s a passage of water from a region of high water concentration through membrane to a region of low water. Semi membrane is a very thin layer of material‚ which allows some things to pass through them but prevent other things from passing through. The cells allow small molecules like Oxygen‚ water‚ Carbon Dioxide‚ Ammonia. But will not allow larger molecules like Sucrose‚ Starch‚ or protein‚ etc

Bath Salts Since synthetic drugs have become a common theme in the news I wanted to look more into “bath salts” otherwise known as synthetic cathinones. The questions I was pondering were: what exactly do these “bath salts” do‚ how is this latest development in drug abuse affecting the brain and how can you treat someone on these dangerous chemicals? I used Google Scholar to research my topic. http://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&q=Minnesota+Bath+Salts&btnG=&as_sdt=1%2C24&as_sdtp=

THE EFFECTS OF EXCHANGE RATE IN INFLATION OUTPUT AND THE CURRENT ACCOUNT ABSTRACT The empirical studies on the effects of changes in exchange rates on inflation and real activity can be broadly divided into four categories: Single-equation econometric methods‚ Vector autoregressive (VAR) models‚ Structural macro econometric models and DSGE models - Dynamic stochastic general equilibrium. Methodologies: First‚ most participants use single-equation econometric methods that estimate

Much Water Does Epsom salts Contain? Purpose The purpose of the experiment was to find the percent of water in Epsom salts by heating it. To find the percent of water in a hydrate‚ the hydrate must be heated. The experiment did not only show how dehydration occurs‚ but this experiment also gives an accurate and definite portrayal of the amount of water that is removed Background Information A hydrate is any compound that contains water. An anhydrous compound is a hydrate in which the water is taken
