Water Scarcity Essay

not only just an entertaining thing to do on the weekends but it’s also a hobby that I really believe in. When I’m on the lake I feel free, just by the way the breeze blows through my hair, it feels like I’m home. I love the way when I’m tubing water sprays me in the face and it feels so refreshing. When I’m tubing with my friends we find it so amusing to scream at the top of our lungs while we drift out of the wake. I don’t just tube because it’s enjoyable, I do it because it’s a rush of…

more easily through the gel than do the large molecules. The matrix used in gel electrophoresis is agarose. Agarose is actually a chain of sugar molecules derived from seaweed and in its pure form, is not soluble in water at room temperature. However, it does dissolve in boiling water. As…

of alkenes through the formation of exo-norborneol from the reaction of Norborene with acid and the excess of water. Acid-catalyzed hydration is useful in removing double and triple bonds; an unsaturated compound becomes reduced to a saturated compound in the presence of the acid catalyst, or water for this experiment. Hydration of alkenes is the result of acid-catalyzed addition of water to a carbon-carbon double bond. This leads to the formation of an alcohol. An equilibrium of hydration is…

Does the amount of lemon juice in milk affect the amount of curds produced? Purpose: The purpose of this lab was to determine whether or not adding more drops of lemon juice to the milk, would increase or decrease the mass of curdled milk formed. Background Information: Curd is a substance formed when milk begins to sour, or in this case, when lemon juice was added to it. The longer milk sits out, the more curds will form, just like when adding more lemon juice to the milk. As more lemon…

dread-head driver that seemed to have not a care in the world, therefore my friends told the driver to show no mercy. Before I could even process the thought, my head jerked back and we were gone with the wind. My eyes and mouth filled with salt water at the blazing…

The cod fish has become a major topic of conversation across multiple reaches of different conversation. The once vastly abundant cod fish has dwindled in numbers. The impacts of the depleted cod populations have had great impacts on worldwide economies and ecological systems. It is important to acknowledge how we came to be in such a situation and how our past actions in regards to cod fish will shape our present and future actions. The purpose of this paper is to provide a brief chronological…

but deals with water the molecules move from a high concentration to a low concentration. The goal of this investigation was to test if the cell gains or loses mass after coming into contact with alcohol after a period of time. The guiding question is “How does alcohol affect the size of cells?” When a cell is reaching homeostasis the percentages of liquids on both sides have to reach equilibrium. When the cell let alcohol in diffusion happened, when the cell…

that the visioning has to be sustainable, coherent, tangible, plausible, motivational and capable of achieving a good complexity-capacity balance. a) Sustainable vision – My vision is to BAN Fracking all together. Fracking contaminates underground water and also quite significantly contributes to global warming. In order for these potential dangers to be mitigated, fracking must be banned. It might sound radical but no amount of creating sustainable alternative methods for hydraulic…

the dye extracted from samples of magnetic bentonite clay and of charcoal through filtration. From the data collected in this experiment, it was found that charcoal was a more effective alternative to use as an absorbing agent in rivers to clear the water of harmful PAHs. INTRODUCTION…

The cinnamaldehyde and water distillate was obtained from the previous lab session and was observed for changes. The oil was on the bottom of the flask. The distillate turned clear when initially it was white. The distillate still had a cinnamon smell. The cinnamaldehyde was now to be extracted from water using an organic solvent. To choose the right solvent for the experiment, the organic solvent must meet certain criteria. It must be miscible with the substance extracted (in this case,…
