threshold. The control group’s mean pH was 6.65‚ whereas the experimental group’s was 6.46. This resulted in a change in pH of .19‚ making the water more acidic. As for the Q-values‚ the control group’s had a Q-value of 81 and the experimental had a Q-value of 75‚ that’s a decrease of 6‚ a significant statistic (Figure 1). For the next test‚ Dissolved Oxygen‚ we also created a bar graph to compare the values for the control and experimental groups. These results came in as statistically significant

Modified Winkler Method for Dissolved Oxygen Determination Tiffany T. Lee Department of Biological Sciences‚ College of Science University of Santo Tomas‚ Manila‚ Philippines 1008 Date of Submission: February 17‚ 2011 Abstract In this experiment‚ the Winkler Method was used to measure the dissolved oxygen (d.o.) in a water sample from the pond in the Arch of the Centuries which had the owl statues. Then‚ the amount of oxygen is determined through a series of reaction. Usually‚ Winkler

DETERMINATION OF DISSOLVED OXYGEN BY WINKLER TITRATION 1. Background Knowledge of the dissolved oxygen (O2) concentration in seawater is often necessary in environmental and marine science. It may be used by physical oceanographers to study water masses in the ocean. It provides the marine biologist with a means of measuring primary production - particularly in laboratory cultures. For the marine chemist‚ it provides a measure of the redox potential of the water column. The concentration of dissolved oxygen

AP Biology Dissolved Oxygen and Aquatic Primary Productivity Purpose: To measure and analyze the primary productivity of natural waters of laboratory cultures using screens to simulate the decrease of light with increasing depth. Background: Dissolved oxygen (DO) is how oxygen is measured. Oxygen is required in cellular respiration‚ so it is very important for aquatic life. When more oxygen is consumed than is produced‚ dissolved oxygen levels decline and some animals could die if they do not

It is the one essential nutrient that the human body cannot survive without. The adult human body is comprised of approximately 60% water‚ the body of a small child‚ infants for example is comprised of approximately 70% water. Water is found throughout the body in

DUE DATE: 21/11/07 CONDUCTOR: Wissam Bardouh EFFECT OF DISSOLVED CARBON DIOXIDE (CO2) ON PH OF WATER Introduction: ((Carbon Dioxide is a greenhouse gas. It is everywhere ranging from our bodies to the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide is produced in living organisms as a result of cellular respiration (glucose + oxygen -->carbon dioxide + water + energy). It occurs in high concentrations in the tissues in our body. It then diffuses in

dissimilar water samples and test them in several different methods to see which water sample had the best quality. The tests that were used were that of: A faecal coliforms test‚ phosphate test‚ nitrates test‚ pH test‚ dissolved oxygen test and a total dissolved solids test. It was thought out that filtered water would hold the highest standards‚ the most sanitary water samples was that of tap water‚ then followed by filtered‚ then tank (rain) water and creek water respectively. (The three water samples

WATER OUR LIFELINE Water is a transparent fluid which forms the world’s streams‚ lakes‚ oceans and rain‚ and is the major constituent of the fluids of living things. As a chemical compound‚ a water molecule contains one oxygen and two hydrogen atoms that are connected by covalent bonds. Water covers 71% of the Earth’s surface.[1] It is vital for all known forms of life. On Earth‚ 96.5% of the planet’s water is found in seas and oceans‚ 1.7% in groundwater‚ 1.7% in glaciers and the ice caps of Antarctica

Winkler method for dissolved oxygen determination Abstract In this study the group has determined the presence of oxygen in sample through a modified winkler method. The amount of oxygen is determined through a series of reaction. A body of water can sustain life if dissolved oxygen is sufficed. Depletions in dissolved oxygen can cause major shifts in the kinds of aquatic organisms found in water bodies. Introduction The amount of dissolved oxygen present in water or wastewater is essential

Exercise 1: Dissolved oxygen is oxygen that is trapped in a fluid‚ such as water. Since virtually every living organism requires oxygen to survive‚ it is a necessary component of water systems such as streams‚ lakes and rivers in order to support aquatic life. The dissolved oxygen is measure in units of ppm—or parts per million. Examine the data in Table 2 showing the amount of dissolved oxygen present and the number of fish observed in the body of water the sample was taken from; finally‚ answer
