which a stream of vapor-free gas is passed. A water bath is provided for maintaining a steady temperature so that there is no eddy current in the vertical tube and mass transfer takes place from the surface by molecular diffusion alone. The rate of evaporation can be followed by the rate of fall of the liquid surface. A traveling microscope is provided for determining‚ the liquid fall. With the knowledge of the concentration gradient‚ the diffusivity of the vapor of the volatile liquid can then be calculated

| The expected results were a little surprising since I did not know that groundwater‚ meaning water coming from under the ground was can be so polluted because of the different cycle it goes through. There is the evaporation‚ precipitation‚ and evaporation process which is taking it from the ocean to land and then back to the ocean. The lab proved otherwise and the fact that this same water is used for drinking and irrigation‚ over time and with the saltwater intrusion

The sliced tomatoes were experienced higher rate of removal of water than the ½ cut tomatoes‚ this type of behaviour can be obtained because small pieces increases the surface area that available for evaporation of water as well as reduces the distance for moisture to travel through the

Simple Vertical Boiler Simple vertical boiler is a boiler which is constructed vertically and produces steam at low pressure and in small quantities. Therefore simple vertical boiler is used in low power generation or in places where space is limited. Construction of this boiler type is shown in Figure 1. Figure 1: Simple Vertical Boiler Simple vertical boiler consists of wall cylinder which surrounding the cylindrical fire box. Cylindrical fire box is tapped on it where steam flow to

The Separation and Purification of Organic Compounds Sunshine Marie Introduction Each year‚ many thousands of new or unknown organic compounds are prepared or extracted from natural sources such as plants‚ fungi and animals. In order to identify an unknown organic compound or the components of a mixture of organic compounds‚ it is necessary firstly to separate and purify the compounds. At any given temperature‚ a certain number of molecules of a substance in the liquid state have sufficient

The water cycle is one of the most or the most important cycle that we have on planet earth. Earth is able to support life because of the plentiful water that it contains. When astronomers search for planets outside of our solar system to see if there is a chance for life on other planets‚ the first thing that they look for is if the planet contains water. However‚ humans are starting to affect the way that the water cycle happens by‚ “We take water out of the system to irrigate crops…” (creditvalley

water amongst reservoirs - "Reservoirs" constitute the hydrosphere - Reservoirs: oceans‚ lakes‚ rivers‚ glaciers‚ the atmosphere‚ living tissue - Hydrologic cycle is power by energy from the sun - causes: evaporation‚ transpiration‚ precipitation‚ run-off to the sea - Begins with evaporation of water from earth’s surface (especially oceans) - As moist air is lifted‚ it cools and the water

Introduction Transpiration is a process which is similar to the evaporation. Water is lost at the surface of the plant such as leaves‚ stems‚ roots and flowers in the form of water vapor. It creates a pulling. Force which causes continuous upward movement of water and mineral salts and this force is called transpiration pull. Apart from to water‚ gas like carbon dioxides from the air can also pass through by the pore of the surface of the plants for photosynthesis. But in this experiment‚ we
