How water is purified in water treatment plants Pre-treatment 1. Pumping and containment – The majority of water must be pumped from its source or directed into pipes or holding tanks. To avoid adding contaminants to the water‚ this physical infrastructure must be made from appropriate materials and constructed so that accidental contamination does not occur. 2. Screening (see also screen filter) – The first step in purifying surface water is to remove large debris such as sticks‚ leaves

Lab Report: Hard Water Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to determine whether a liquid is hard water or not. Background: Hard water is the water that has a high amount of mineral in it‚ usually Ca2+ and Mg+. These cations enter the source of water by leaching from minerals within a wet underground layer of water- bearing rock‚ or an aquifer. According to the WHO‚ hard water is not harmful to human’s health but it’s a serious problem in the water industry. Household plumbing and appliances

Water is the most important substance in our evolution and our daily lives. Without water‚ life as we know it would not have been possible. This essay will examine the water molecule in order to ascertain how it brought about Earth’s successful ecosystem and how important it is to us today. Each water molecule consists of one oxygen atom and two hydrogen atoms. The oxygen atom bears a slight electronegative charge while hydrogen possesses a more positive one. Because opposite charges attract‚ the

First‚ the matting was placed on the four slides‚ cover-slips as well as the container of blood on top. Blood containers are in dropper bottles. Number each slide with a wax pencil. A drop of blood was placed on a slide and numbered it slide #1. Slide #1: 1. With the wooden applicator stick‚ dip the end into the blood and place a tiny drop onto slide #1 and put cover slip over it. Slide#2 1. Place 1 drop of 0.9% NaCl with the drop of blood (use the filter paper to absorb excess liquid). 2.

Water has polarity. Polarity is the uneven distribution of charge. Water has cohesion‚ adhesion‚ and heat capacity. Cohesion is the attraction between molecules of the same substances. Adhesion is the force of attraction between molecules of a different substances. Heat capacity is the amount of heat it takes to raise temperature of a substance. The experiment displayed shows water can have adhesion and cohesion. The hypothesis of this experiment is if a nonpolar substance is added to water

The Uses of water in Living Things Topics I have chosen to cover: - Osmosis & Water potential - Condensation & Hydrolysis Reactions - Digestion – the importance of water - Blood and tissue fluid To emphasise the sheer importance of water in living things and to put the content of this essay in to perspective‚ I am firstly going to inform you that the human body is approximately 50-75% water. Without water our body would be unable to successfully perform the numerous complex reactions and

Drew Staples 6/12/14 Properties of water Question Does mixing water with other substances change it’s boiling point. Research The boiling point of a liquid is when the temperature causes the vapor pressure to be equal to the air. Air density will change waters boiling point. High altitudes give water a lower boiling point. Hypothesis If the water is less dense then it will boil faster and the boiling point will be lower. Materials 1 Pot A Sink A Stove 1 tablespoon of sugar 1

Latent Heat of Vaporization of Water The Latent Heat of Vaporization of Water Aim: The aim is to determine the latent heat of vaporization of water by doing an experiment of boiling water. Theory: The latent heat of vaporization is the amount of energy that is required to transfer a kg of liquid from the liquid state to the gaseous state. This transformation appears‚ when water is heated. The temperature of the water keeps increasing‚ until it has

repellant. Procedure #2: (for mosquito repellant) 1. First‚ clean the taheebo leaves and put under the sun to dry for 30 minutes to 1 hour. 2. After the leaves become slightly dry‚ put it on a pot with water and boil it for 45 minutes. 3. Then‚ using a strainer‚separate the leaves to the water. 4. Again‚ using mortar and pestle‚ grid the garlic until it became dull. 5. In a bowl‚ mix the taheebo extract‚ chopped garlic‚ cooking oil and essential oil. 6. After a several hours‚ separate the extract
