of the Upper Nepean Catchment. The following is a summary of factors that affect water quality. Water may contain several ions‚ namely anions and cations which are toxic to humans. Hardness is the scum on water surface from significant concentrations of calcium and magnesium ions. Total dissolved solids is the measure of dissolved solids that are ionic in water. Turbidity is the presence of suspended solids in water which reduces penetration of light‚ resulting in a decrease concentration of

CHE 242 Tutorial 3: Problems & Answers Week 4: Feb 2- 6‚ 2009 1. Consider a gas that occupies 1.00 dm3 at a pressure of 2.00 bar. If the gas is compressed isothermally at constant external pressure‚ Pext‚ so that the final volume is 0.500 dm3‚ what is the smallest value Pext can have? Calculate the work involved using this value of Pext. Solution For compression to occur‚ the value of Pext must be at least as large as the final pressure of the gas. P1 = 2.00 bar‚ V1 = 1.00 dm3‚ V2 = 0.500

Baking Project There are several chemical reactions taking place in the general baking of cakes. Every ingredient has its own function and causes a different reaction Synthesis: * Egg yolks (modify molecule’s structure) helps the oil-based and water-based components of the cake mix together. When eggs are cooked‚ the protein molecules become uncurled when exposed to heat and create new molecular bonds with other nearby protein molecules. When the egg is completely cooked‚ it helps form a

A. Role of Chemistry in Society Applications of chemical science have contributed significantly to the advancement of human civilization (1‚ 2‚ 3). With a growing understanding and ability to manipulate chemical molecules‚ the post-World War II chemist was considered a societal problem solver. They synthesized crop-enhancing agricultural chemicals to ensure a constant and viable food supply. They played a significant role in the eradication of deadly diseases by developing life-saving pharmaceuticals

Scuba diving is a form of underwater diving in which a diver uses a scuba set to breathe underwater. According to the Professional Association of Diving Instructor (PADI)‚ a “DEEP DIVE” is considered to be anything from 18 meters (60 ft) to 30 meters (100 ft). A scuba diver moves around underwater by using swim-fins attached to the feet‚ however external propulsion can be provided by a diver propulsion vehicle. Scuba diving may be performed for a number of reasons; either for recreational purposes
