The intention of the “Foul Water” lab was to purify a sample of sewage water and conserve as much as possible. The water should be clean enough to wash your hands with. My hypothesis is that the water will be cleaner than the initial water sample‚ but not to the standard that I would wash my hands with. Significant terms to know include purification‚ filtration‚ adsorption‚ volume‚ clarity‚ dissolved‚ filtrate‚ impurities‚ pipette‚ clay triangle‚ funnel cone‚ iron ring‚ beaker‚ and Erlenmeyer flask

This will allow it to absorb some carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and lower its pH from a level of about 7 to about 5.8. The distilled water will act as a model for "normal" rainwater‚ which has a pH of about

purpose of this lab was to practice measuring the mass and volume of different samples and to calculate the density and specific gravity of those samples using the measurements. B. Equipment 1. Electronic balance- The electronic balance is a device used to measure the exact mass of an object 2. Graduated cylinder- The graduated cylinder is a tool used to measure the volume of a liquid 3. Pipets- Pipets are small tubes that suck up and contain liquids C. Technique 1. The water displacement technique

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

Introduction: This lab investigates the question‚ what is the water quality of the U-High creek based on micro invertebrates found in the creek? There are many factors that affect the quality of water such as phosphorus and nitrogen levels‚ dissolved oxygen‚ and pH. Phosphorus and nitrogen in water can increase the growth of aquatic plants and algae‚ leading to the decomposition of dead plant material and the removal of dissolved oxygen from water. The total nitrogen concentrations for freshwater

The purpose for this lab is to get the polluted water to a clarity of 0%. Water pollution is playing a major role in today’s ecosystems because the water is becoming unsafe to live in and unsafe to consume. “Water pollution is any physical or chemical change in water that adversely affects organisms” (Chiras‚ 2015).

1. Put your safety goggles and lab coat on. 2. Gather all the necessary materials in order to conduct this experiment such as boiled water‚ distilled water‚ calcium chloride‚ distilled water‚ glycerin‚ test tubes‚ nails‚ test tube rack‚ graduated cylinders‚ tongs‚ scoopula‚ erasable marker and parafilm. 3. With the erasable marker‚ label the ten test tubes from 1 to 10. 4. For Test Tube 1‚ drop an iron nail in it without adding anything else. Place the test tube into the to-be-heated rack (50⁰F)

I enjoyed doing the virtual lab. I treat water as an occupation so I understood how and what to add to treat the water. If you have a low (acidic) pH then you should add sodium hydroxide. If you have total coliforms‚ you should chlorinate before and after treatment. Often‚ we test houses for total coliforms and e. coli. If the bacteria is positive‚ then we chlorinate the well. After we make sure all the chlorine is throughout the house‚ we let it sit for 24 hours to disinfect the pipes and

Bohnenberger Professor Van Doorn ENVS 150-002 2 March 2015 Water Quality Lab Report Introduction: When people are asked about how water is characterized‚ they usually will think of saltwater‚ freshwater‚ safe-to-drink freshwater‚ and tap water. Only a few people understand that water and its quality are characterized in several other ways beyond salt‚ fresh‚ and tap water. In 1967‚ the Water Quality Act‚ which was an amendment of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act‚ was passed. The Act required

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.
