Nitrate on Pond Water By Claudia Phillips September 6‚ 2014 Block Two INTRODUCTION This lab was designed to study and observe the effects of phosphate and nitrate applied to pond water (1). Phosphorous‚ commonly used in fertilizers‚ is a necessary and vital element for life but can enhance the effects of eutrophication (the over-enrichment of nutrients in water) (2). Nitrate is a common source of food for most algae‚ but too much can make living conditions in water harsh (3). They are

Pennsylvania State University Lab Report on Experiment 10- The Chemistry of Natural Waters Introduction What is water hardness? Water is extremely important to all living things and even to non-living things‚ indirectly. Therefore‚ the way water travels and gets to a place is also extremely important because its transportation methods determine the chemicals that get involved and added into the water as it travels. This relates to the hardness of water. The hardness of water is basically caused by the

The Hydrochloric acid used in the experiment was a stock solution made by mixing HCl Acid and deionized water. HCl acid‚ historically called‚ muriatic acid or spirits of salt‚ hydrochloric acid is produced from sulfuric acid and common salt‚ NaCl (Princeton.edu). Since the early 1900 ’s‚ sodium

Beaker Observations 1 Water is clear and uncontaminated. 2 All of the vegetable oil goes to the top of the beaker. 3 The water looks slightly cloudy but not too contaminated. 4 The water changed colors with the detergent and was clearly contaminated. 5 Water was murky from the dirt. 6 The water did not look as contaminated filtering with oil as it did with

Water has polarity. Polarity is the uneven distribution of charge. Water has cohesion‚ adhesion‚ and heat capacity. Cohesion is the attraction between molecules of the same substances. Adhesion is the force of attraction between molecules of a different substances. Heat capacity is the amount of heat it takes to raise temperature of a substance. The experiment displayed shows water can have adhesion and cohesion. The hypothesis of this experiment is if a nonpolar substance is added to water

Water Quality and Contamination Melody McBride SCI-207 Dependence of man on the environment Robin Glenn September 28‚ 2014 Abstract The lab was conducted at the McBride residence. For this experiment vegetable oil‚ vinegar and liquid detergent was use to contaminate the water. Testing of how ground water is affected by different contaminants was the bases of the experiment. The results were interesting in that when vinegar is filtered through dirt it came out fairly clean‚ it also
