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

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

between the two metals in the metal sulfate solution of the electrolyte. In order for a chemical reaction to take place‚ the reactants must collide. The collision between the molecules in a chemical reaction provides the kinetic energy needed to break the necessary bonds so that new bonds can be formed. Thus‚ increasing the concentration of the anode‚ zinc sulfate‚ will increases the rate of reaction for oxidation because there are more zinc ions in the new concentration‚ which would also increase

SODIUM gSodium is a chemical element with the symbol Na (from Latin: natrium) and atomic number 11. It is a soft‚ silver-white‚ highly reactive metal and is a member of the alkali metals; its only stable isotope is 23Na. The free metal does not occur in nature‚ but instead must be prepared from its compounds; it was first isolated by Humphry Davy in 1807 by the electrolysis of sodium hydroxide. Sodium is the sixth most abundant element in the Earth’s crust‚ and exists in numerous minerals such

In order to first perform the reaction‚ 1.5 mL of 4-methylcyclohexanol was added to a pre-weighed 5mL conical vial. The conical vial was then weighed to find the actual mass of 4-methylcycloheaxanol. Then‚ 0.4mL of 85% phosphoric acid was added to the conical vial using a plastic pipet. Six drops of concentrated sulfuric acid was then added to the vial using a glass pipet. A spin vane was then added before adding the Hickman head‚ water condenser and a drying tube packed with calcium chloride to

The purpose of this experiment was to determine the speed at which a reaction took place between an iodine and hydrogen peroxide solution. In addition to a change in concentration‚ a change in temperature and a catalyst variable was also introduced to conclude whether or not their presence affected the overall speed of the reaction. In order to determine the effects of these variables‚ several iodine and hydrogen peroxide reactions were prepared‚ (all at varying temperatures‚ volumes‚ and concentrations)

Experiment 28: The reaction of Butanols with Hydrobromic Acid Pre-lab Objective: The objective of this experiment is to synthesize 1-bromobutane and 2-bromobutane with different catalyst:substrate ratios to determine which ratio is the most economically favorable. Discussion: In this experiment‚ 1-butanol or 2-butanol will be converted to the corresponding alkyl bromide with HBR‚ while using sulfuric acid as a catalyst. The sulfuric acid will accelerate the chemical reaction with being consumed

purpose of this lab was to practice measuring the mass and volume of different samples and to calculate the density and specific gravity of those samples using the measurements. B. Equipment 1. Electronic balance- The electronic balance is a device used to measure the exact mass of an object 2. Graduated cylinder- The graduated cylinder is a tool used to measure the volume of a liquid 3. Pipets- Pipets are small tubes that suck up and contain liquids C. Technique 1. The water displacement technique
