the measuring cups to see how the cold would make any changes in the evaporation. The experiment was done because evaporation is something that is interesting to see what happens after the experiment is over. The experiment was done by making the water have different additives in it and seeing which one evaporates first. The results in the first trial showed that in the salt was the first to evaporate. In the second trial water‚ salt‚ and nail polish remover evaporated equally. In the third trial

Surface Area to Volume Ratio and the Relation to the Rate of Diffusion Aim and Background This is an experiment to examine how the Surface Area / Volume Ratio affects the rate of diffusion and how this relates to the size and shape of living organisms. The surface area to volume ratio in living organisms is very important. Nutrients and oxygen need to diffuse through the cell membrane and into the cells. Most cells are no longer than 1mm in diameter because small cells enable nutrients and oxygen

Evaporation and Transpiration Evaporation and transpiration (evapotranspiration) are components of hydrologic cycle‚ which at principle‚ can be calculated from meteorological observations such as temperature‚ humidity‚ radiation‚ wind speed‚ etc. The process‚ however‚ is quite complex and a substantial literature has been produced on it. In this chapter our focus is mainly on the concept and simple estimations of evaporation and transpiration. Mechanism of evaporation from water surfaces Here

Investigation‚ I will be separating sand‚ salt‚ iron fillings in a mixture and finding their percentages. Iron is a magnetic solid which is incapable of being dissolved in water. Salt is a non-magnetic solid which is capable of being dissolved in water. Sand is a non-magnetic solid which is incapable of being dissolved in water. I used this research to help me complete my experiment. (Separating salt‚ sand and iron) Hypothesis: If the sand‚ salt‚ and iron mixture can be broken down in its separate

An investigation of Factors that Affect Diffusion Biology The aim of this investigation is to prove the effect of increasing size on the efficiency of diffusion. Diffusion is the process that cells use to obtain oxygen‚ water and food. Also‚ how they lose waste substances‚ for example‚ urea and carbon dioxide. Basically‚ Diffusion is when particles move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. The surface area to volume ratio of the cell is an important factor in

Have you ever seen dry ice‚ well let me show you. To measure the evaporation rate it is important to know that a half pound of dry ice will be placed outside and timed. The same thing will happen but in a cool room. If the dry ice is -109.3°F then it will evaporate in any condition warmer. The hypotheses is that the dry ice in the outside will evaporation faster. It is important to understand this because if you are trying to store dry ice and you put it in a freezer it will still evaporate. So in

What my project is about: I will be comparing results from water testing I did at two different water bodies to prove that the catchment area has an influence over the water quality in the different water bodies. The first water body I tested was the small dam in the bokkie park situated in between residential areas and in the middle of a piece of land solely used for animals. The second water body I tested was the small dam across the road from the Trinity Church in Boksburg on Rondebult Road‚ which

I. Title – The Effect of Volume on Heart Rate II. Problem/Research question – Your heart rate can be affected and changed using a variety of things. One thing that can cause your heart rate to change is the volume of audio. How does the volume of an audio track affect your heart rate? If the volume of an audio track is increased‚ the number of hearts beats per minute will increase as well. III. Variables – ❖ Independent Variable ➢ The volume of the audio track ❖ Dependent

Introduction Water is known as a vital component to sustain life. When one is confronted with the fact that water is considered a renewable resource in the short term but only 3% is usable (N.Gray)‚ precautions must be taken to ensure the conservation of water. The agriculture industry consumes approximately 70% of the planet’s usable water globally. At large scale the water footprint arguably cannot be reduced‚ raising the question on whether our water is being used to its full potential. Water can be

My hypothesis is that if I turn the water to vapor then I will be able to determine the ratio and the amount of moles of the salt and water. This is because by using evaporation I will be able to learn the mass of the salt and of the water needed for n=m/MM which states the amount of moles can be found by dividing mass of the moles by the molar mass. Experiment 1 First I took a crucible‚ a balance‚ and a Bunsen burner and placed them onto the workbench. Then I measured the mass of the empty crucible
