The water inthe oceans only leaves by evaporating, but the salt remains dissolved in the ocean - it does notevaporate. So the remaining water gets saltier and saltier as time passes. Therefore, the ocean is salty. However, the streams, lakes and rivers stay fresh because not much salt is picked up inrivers and all the salt stays in the ocean. Therefore, they aren't salty because they have a lowconcentration of…
In Pat Frank’s Alas, Babylon, the theme is survival and isolation because can you imagine one’s town being cut off from the rest of the world? In Alas Babylon, the town of Fort Repose is isolated from the rest of the world and they have to learn to survive after a nuclear weapon hits. People have to change who they are because if they do not change, survival is not possible. A good way of putting the situation is, “So the struggle was not against a human enemy, or for victory. The struggle, for those who survived The Day, was to survive the next” (Frank 123).…
Salt is used for a wide variety of purposes in every society every day. This is common knowledge. However, salt is actually more vital to human history and existence than most people think. Mark Kurlansky, author of Salt: A World History tells the story of human suffering, greed, enterprise and conquest in a surprising way: by telling the story of salt. As Kurlansky says in his introduction, “Salt is so common, so easy to obtain, and so inexpensive that we have forgotten that from the beginning of civilization until about 100 years ago, salt was one of the most sought after commodities in human history”…
1.The increase in salinity is the main cause because of the problems of the faraway locations and because of the local cities waste that runoffs causing an accumulation of nutrients leading to salinity and even eutrophication. Which has caused deaths of fish and birds. As well as embryo defects to the fish residents of the Salton Sea. Making the Salton Sea a death trap instead of a safe substitution of the past wetlands. 2.…
The results of the lab were indicated that the rate of difference for evaporation of water with salt was higher than water with sugar. This result also means that the time of evaporation of water with salt was faster than water with sugar since the higher rate of difference means the faster of evaporation. Moreover, for the rate of difference for evaporation of water with salt, it increased as the amount of teaspoon increased. This result showed that for water with salt, the more amount of salt added in the water, the faster the evaporation time occurred. However, the rate of difference for evaporation of water with sugar was opposite since it decreased as the amount of teaspoon increased.…
For two weeks, I stayed in Charleston, South Carolina. I didn’t know much about the place, except that I referred to it as an army town because that’s where my sister and her husband, who was in the military, stayed. I was reluctant to go, but Charleston had a lot to offer me; a new change of pace and some new scenery was much more satisfying than spending the two weeks stuck in Iowa doing the same old routine. The weather was mystical in Charleston.…
The empirical formula for the ratio of moles H2O over moles anhydrous salt is MgSO4 - 7 H2O. The percent composition of the hydrate of water is 50.8%. When heating hydrates to a very high temperature, the physical bonds are broken and the water is then evaporated from the substance. Prior to heat being added to the magnesium sulfate heptahydrate, the substance was very brittle in tiny little pieces. However, after heat was added to the substance for several minutes, the substance became very powdery and more condensed than before.…

When the water is heated, it makes a gurgling sound and it bubble. Moreover, Salt itself makes water boil faster. Iodide salt works the best because of the iodide in it. Iodide is a necessary nutrient for water to keep it fresh, and to boil it faster. Iodide is a compound of iodine with…
Sodium Chloride’s interaction with water is in most states, the state department of public health can supply information on the sodium content of public water supplies and provide help in getting water from individual wells or water supplies analyzed. Thus proving that too much sodium chloride in water is not good.…
Increased ocean acidification isn’t the only thing affecting the ocean, but it is very problematic because it erodes aragonite which is a mineral of calcium carbonate. In other words it kills corals and causes the hard exoskeleton to erode. Action needs to be taken to ensure the survival of corals and the creatures that rely on coral reefs to survive. Coral reefs are sources of food for millions of people, but also are sources of medicines. As coral reefs disappear so do the organisms that are mutualistic to it.…
Investigative Question Does sugar or salt effect the freezing point and period of time that water takes to freeze? Hypothesis If you add either sugar or salt to water it will affect the freezing point of the water and will therefor take longer to freeze. Aim…
The final temperature of the water was then recorded. This process was repeated using 1.03 g and 2.07 g of sodium sulphate decahydrate, and 1.01 g, 1.50 g and 2.02 g of anhydrous sodium…
