Saline Water And Tap Water

Decent Essays
1. The first part of the second experiment went according to the alternative hypothesis. The 200% saline water moved below the 100% saline water to create a layer. It did not mix with the 100% saline water or tap water. On the other hand, the second part of the second experiment did not support the alternative. Instead of moving above the 100% and 200% saline water and tap water, the 35% saline water remained at the bottom. However, it did try to move up. The reason the 35% saline water did not move above the 100% and 200% layers is because the 35‰ saline water mixed with the 200‰ layer to create an orange layer just below the 100‰ layer that likely had a salinity of approximately 150‰. If we had injected the 35‰ water just below the tap water

    A possible error that could have been made was not doing at least three experiments. If more experiments were done, the information would have been more accurate. Another possible error was only using two liquids. If more than two liquids were used in this experiment, then the information would have also been more accurate. A major error in this experiment was using a different starting temperature for each trial.…

    CONCLUSION: Two weeks ago, Soundings XVI performed Lab Experiment Number Two. Lab Experiment Number Two was similar to the previous, Lab Experiment Number One. The prompt was to compare the results of pennies dropped in water, versus the result of pennies being dropped into milk, both at 100 mL. The main purpose of this lab was to further discuss more scientific parts of this lab, such as the surface tension when the cylinder was close to overflowing for both the milk and water. Before performing this lab, my group and I created a hypothesis to reflect upon and to state what we believed would dictate the results.…

    Salinity In Shrimp

    My science fair project is: what is the effect of salinity levels on ghost shrimp? My hypothesis to that question is that all of the shrimp in the first cup, that had no salt, would all survive, the majority of the shrimp of the second cup, that had three pieces of salt, would die and about half of the shrimp in the third cup, that only had one piece of salt, would survive. My science fair project lasted for six days, and during those six days, the salinity levels and the shrimp proved my theory wrong. On Day one, all of the shrimp remained alive. On Day two, none of the shrimp died.…

    For this experiment my hypothesis was correct. The control petri dish germinated nine out of ten radish seeds, and the acid rain petri dish germinated zero out of ten radish seeds. For the second experiment, I said in my hypothesis was that both sets of plants, that were given the acid rain solutions, would underperform compared to the control; and the set of plants given the acid rain solution with a pH of three would underperform the control, as well as, the set of plants given and acid rain solution with a pH of five. For this experiment my hypothesis was half correct. Group B, with the acid rain solution with a pH of three, underperformed both group C, with the acid rain solution with a pH of five, and group A, the control.…

    In the experiment, I tested how soapy water would affect the amount of droplets the penny can hold. The results of my experiment show that the penny holds less droplets of soap water. When the soap is added to the water, the soap collides with water breaking down the tension. As a result, it harder for the droplets to hold together. To find whether my hypothesis was right, I did several of trials to figure out whether my hypothesis was correct.…

    The purpose of this EEI is to create and analyse an experiment that relates to and supports the theory of osmosis in biological cells. Cells are the biological building block for all life; all living organisms have cells also. Cells provide structure, absorb nutrients from food and convert those nutrients into energy so that the cell can carry out specialized functions. There are two main categories with most organisms and their cells; prokaryotes and eukaryotes. The distinctive difference between prokaryotes and eukaryotes is that eukaryotic cells contain membrane-bound organelles, such as the nucleus, while as prokaryotic cells do not.…

    One reason how bottling water impacts the ecosystem population and biodiversity is that it impacts ocean life in a negative way(pollution). Bottling water is convenient for an easy way to provide clean water. My partner and I think it is completely wasteful in the world. But, is bottling water really affecting our ecosystem? So far we researched how bottled water and tap water are kind of the same.…

    The purpose of this experiment was to understand osmosis, however, the deeper importance was that it could be compared to a real cell in our body. The egg in this lab can represent a red blood cell. When cells such as red blood cells are placed in pure water, water enters them through osmosis and they swell up. If this continues for a long period of time, they have a great chance of bursting. On the other hand, when cells are placed in a lower concentrated solution, water leaves them through osmosis and they are unable to function (BBC).…

    As students spent some decent amount of time in the experiment, they will come up with some data and the final step for students is to record their data and compare their data with other groups. The following graph chart is based on the data that are provide from four different groups in the class: This diagram shows the coliform growth data from four different groups. According to the data, we can easily calculate that the mean value of coliform growth in Ottawa river is 346.50, the standard deviation is 62.34 and the standard error is 31.17. The mean value, standard deviation, and the standard error for tap water is all zero since there is not coliform growth in the tap water.…

    Tap Water Problem

    According to this article, the tap water in Flint, Michigan became toxic due to the governor’s office and the state Department of Environmental Quality. They were aware of how toxic the water of the Flint river is but decided to ignore the issue and did not treat the water properly. One of the reasons of why they decided to to switch their water supply from Lake Huron to Flint river was because Flint was declared to be in a financial state of emergency and so they took a budgetary control. Making the switch of water supply was going to save them some money but no matter the circumstances, they knew how harmful that water supply was therefore, they must have purposefully harmed these people for some greater reason than for just saving themselves…

    Osmosis is the net movement of water towards higher concentration. In osmosis experiment, water likes to diffuse from an area of low-solute concentration to an area of high-solute concentration. The purpose of the osmosis experiment was to observe the diffusion of solutes and the osmosis of water through a semipermeable membrane, which was dialysis tubing. This experiment was done to examine, if the solution is hypertonic, hypotonic or isotonic.…

    On average, thirsty customers in the U.S. throw away sixty million water bottles a day, and for every five water bottles consumed, one is recycled. The length of time for plastic water bottles to decompose is between four hundred and one thousand years. People may choose to drink bottled water over tap water with the misconception that it is the cleaner, tastier, or even a healthier choice. The rate at which people are consuming bottled water is causing landfills to be filled with approximately seventy-five percent of the plastic water bottles that are made. While bottled water sales increase, the consumption of tap water is the most advantageous choice for health benefits, environment conservation, and affordability as a choice for the consumer.…

    In Part B of this experiment a few mishaps occurred: the pH paper was accidentally placed in the test tube in step ten, and more than the recommended water input was added to the test tube in step eleven. More water was added in step eleven because the solution was too cloudy. The results of Part B were interesting because it was expected that there could only be calcium or barium present in the solution, but both were confirmed present. A precipitate formed in both of the tubes that were needed to be used to confirm the presence of barium and calcium.…
