The purpose of this lab was to model the significant differences in density that oceans experience when glaciers and polar ice caps melt. It demonstrated that the variation in density greatly affects salt water. I discovered that the increase in freshwater causes a decrease in density. I made three claims. First‚ the higher the salinity of the water is‚ the denser it will be. This was shown in my data by the fact that‚ with 0mL of fresh water‚ the density was 1.108 g/mL For every milliliter of fresh

Brooke Thomas September 13‚ 2012 Separating Salt and Sand Lab Report Separating components of a mixture of salt and sand and calculate the mass of each. Salt is soluble and sand will sink to the bottom‚ you can separate the rest with filtering and distillation (boiling). If salt and sand are a mixture‚ then we can separate them by physical processes.

In this lab‚ we used Bunsen burners to heat up a hydrated salt in order to determine the percentage of water inside of this hydrated salt. We heated up the salt in order to boil off the water‚ which allowed us to find the weight of the CuSO4 by itself. By comparing this final weight with the original weight and subtracting the difference‚ we were able to compile data about how much the weight of the hydrated salt decreased as the water gradually boiled away. In doing so‚ we were able to find the

15 Problem: Can water float on water? Introduction: Can water float on water some say ye because ice can float but we are talking about water on top of water. The salt water and fresh will have different effects on the experiment. The experiment also see if the warmer the water is the different way it look. Purpose: The reason that I am doing this project is to see if water can float on water and to see the water at different densities‚ and salinity. To see if the salt water would sit on the

Seperatation Technqiues of Sand/Salt/Water Mixture Most of the material that are encountered in everyday life are not pure substances. Materials ranging from cement‚ food and ink are formed from physical combinations of various substances called mixtures. A mixture is a type of material that consists of two or more different substances that are not chemically combined. All mixtures can be separated back into its original state except for those that undergo irreversible change. A mixture can take

In our lab‚ we were given the task of burning seven different salts and taking notes of what we observed. The different salts included Potassium chloride‚ Calcium chloride‚ Strontium chloride‚ Lithium chloride‚ Copper II chloride‚ Sodium Chloride‚ and Barium Chloride. Burning a pinch of each salt separately by holding a nichrome wire over a Bunsen burner‚ we found that each salt emitted a different color of light. For example‚ Potassium Chloride burnt a bright pink flame when burned‚ while Calcium

Epsom salt have many uses‚ including use as bath salts‚ as a laxative and as a plant nutrient. Epsom salt contains hydrated magnesium sulphate which has the formula MgSO4.xH2O. Experiment to find the value of x in a pure sample of hydrated magnesium sulphate. The method i will use is heating a known mass of magnesium sulphate to remove the water of crystallisation. x is found by weighing before and after heating to find the mass of the water then using the moles calculations to find x.

battery my salt water battery has the three main components‚ the electrolyte (in case you didn’t know its like a liquid that conducts th electric current (I hope I spelt that right))‚ a cathode (the negative electrode) and the an anode (the positive electrode). As you may or may not know a chemical reaction must occur so that that chemical energy can be converted into electrical energy which is then used for whatever. In my salt water battery the electric current passes through the salt water which separates

SALT WATER Introduction: Salt water refers to water that contains dissolved salts‚ known as saline water or seawater‚ water from oceans or seas. It is a home to varieties of aquatic animals‚ for example‚ fishes and snails. Some of these animals find it difficult to live in fresh water. If salt water animals go to live in fresh water they can not adapt the environment led to die to them. This essay aims to discuss the importance of salt water and the sub- types namely ocean‚ sea‚ and coral reefs
