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

My conclusion is that the higher salt concentration in the solution the greater the decrease in mass of the potato will be‚ the graph I have drawn supports my conclusion. The 10% salt concentration shows that on average the potato loses 2.6% of its overall mass. 20% salt concentration shows a further decrease in mass this time it is an average of 13% overall mass decrease. 30% salt concentration shows an average decrease of 18.8% in overall mass. The 0% salt concentration actually shows a mass increase

INTRODUCTION Passive diffusion‚ also known as simple diffusion‚ is used to describe the exergonic reaction of a substance where the substance passes in the direction of the concentration gradient. Most of the molecules

Salt Harbor Exercise The Salt Harbor exercise was a real world negotiation exercise that added many factors into the decision making. In this exercise‚ Lukas and I were partners. Lukas was the buyer and I was the seller. In this negotiation‚ I had recently purchase some property that I wanted to build into a coffee shop. The neighbor‚ who is also the buyer‚ did not want me to build the coffee shop and instead wanted to purchase the property. Lukas stopped me from being able to build the coffee

------------------------------------------------- Water and Electrolytes Water constitutes 50-55% of a woman’s body weight and 55-60% of man’s weight. Water gives structure and form to the body‚ helps maintain body temperature‚ and also creates the necessary environment for cell metabolism. There are two compartments of body water‚ extracellular and intracellular fluid. Extracellular fluid (ECF) is water found outside of cells. Making up approximately 20% of total body weight‚ the ECF consists

EXPERIMENT 5 GAS DIFFUSION COEFFICIENT OBJECTIVES: Determine the gas diffusion coefficient of acetone using the established Winkelmann’s method KEYWORDS Diffusivity‚ Gas Diffusion Coefficient‚ Winkelmann’s method OVERVIEW The knowledge of physical and chemical properties of certain materials is important because very often process engineering deal with the transformation and distribution of these materials in bulk. One such property is diffusivity. Mass transfer by diffusion takes place

Saline Salt Company Analysis The Saline Salt Company production process was simple. Their process involved extracting salt from six tanks of 900‚000 cubic feet of seawater which could only be held on a large plot of land. As land becomes more valuable and rarer‚ expansion of the existing method becomes very difficult. Saline Salt Company could not compete with other companies that were producing larger amounts of salt in shorter amounts of time. Saline Salt Company did not expand as the needs

OSMOSIS ASSESSMENT TASK Introduction Osmosis is the net movement of water particles from an area where they are in high concentration to an area of low concentration‚ down a concentration gradient. Hypothesis: Will a high concentration of salt solution affect the mass of a potato chip? Variables Controlled variables: -The sizes of the potato chips. Bigger size of potato chips will weigh heavier and the smaller potato chips will weigh lighter‚ if we don’t use the same size of potato chips

desalination of water water‚ desalination of‚ process of removing soluble salts from water to render it suitable for drinking‚ irrigation‚ or industrial uses. The principal methods used for desalination include distillation (or evaporation)‚ electrodialysis‚ freezing‚ ion exchange‚ and reverse osmosis. In distillation saltwater is heated in one container to make the water evaporate‚ leaving the salt behind. The desalinated vapor is then condensed to form water in a separate container. Although long
