sample sites at the marsh such as pH, amount of organic matter deposited within the soil, and amounts of specific sediments deposited within the soil has a linear pattern as the marsh extends to the shore. This report will examine elevation, soil pH, water salinity, and soil texture data from unbiased sample sites in hopes of finding a relationship to support the hypothesis of this…
and Site 3 in Figure 1.A). I will repeat this two times on two different days of similar weather patterns for a total of $110 in anticipated costs. At each site, I will collect a variety of variables. For starters, I will collect an indication of water clarity using a secchi disk at each site for all replications. The secchi disk will be eight inches in diameter and the depth will be measured in feet below the surface. The disk will be lowered by a measuring tape until the disk is no longer…
This chemical reaction involves neutralization, where an acid and base react to produce a neutral solution of salt and water. As this information is provided, the known concentration of NaOH(aq) is 0.25M. It is necessary to rinse out the burette with sodium hydroxide solution before starting titration, as the concentration of the base can be affected by the water used to clean the burette. At the same time, when cleaning the burette it may not have been washed thoroughly . By rinsing with…
Procedure: Part A: Extraction stage 1. Place a 125 mL separatory funnel in a ring stand equipped with a small ring. 2. Heat the hot plate. 3. Heat the water (20 mL of hot water is needed) to a boil by placing it on top of the hot plate. 2. To the 125 mL Erlenmeyer flask, added two Tylenol (500 mg/ tablet) 3. Dissolved the solid by gently swirling the Erlenmeyer flask. 4. Let the solution cool for a few minutes (approximately till room temperature). 5. Add the mixture to the separatory funnel.…
only two of the jars. The other jar without soda lime served as a control to account for any CO2 already present in the chamber. All three jars were labeled with a number and location. Both jars containing the granules were oven dried to remove any water content for 24-hours. Next, jars were removed from the oven, transferred to a desiccator and the masses of both jars were recorded.Sampling equipment, along with jars and chambers was brought out to the field. Uncovered chambers were placed…
The purpose of this lab is to calculate a value for Avogadro’s number and compare it to the actual value for Avogadro’s number. Avogadro’s number will be determined by setting up an electrochemical cell to oxidize a copper electrode. The results of the amount of copper deposited and the average current used will be used to calculate a value for Avogadro’s number. Techniques used: In this experiment, different techniques will be used to collect the required data, such as taking the mass of…
Everyday people drown in bathtubs and oceans. The main difference between your average bathtub water and ocean water is that bathtubs are filled with freshwater and the ocean is filled with salt water. Many people question the difference between saltwater and freshwater concerning drowning. To understand the difference between drowning in freshwater versus drowning in salt water it is important to understand how red blood cells react with both hypertonic and hypotonic solution concerning the…
The solubility and availability of Si and Fe released from minerals Release of Si and Fe from different studied minerals by the K-humate ligand was tested in distilled water on the laboratory scale. Three separate flasks each of which contains a 0.5 g of K-humate salt dissolved in 50 mL distilled H2O (1% K-humate solution). Five grams of each mineral was were then added to this solution giving a partial suspension of pH 9.8 without modification. separate flasks each of which…
labeled with a small vertical line so they could be aligned with the spectrophotometer. The Spec-20 was set to 0% transmittance using the left knob without a test tube sample in the holder. Then a test tube filled three-fourths of the way full with distilled water was placed into the Spec-20’s test tube well and the pointer was set to 100% transmittance using the right hand knob. The next step in the lab is to find the absorbance of the standard solutions of copper (II) sulfate. To find the…
energy change. Energy in the form of heat, if liberated is known as exothermic and if absorbed in the reaction is known as endothermic. When a reaction carried out under standard condition at a of temperature 298K and 1 atm of pressure and 1 mole of water is formed it is called the starndard enthalpy of neutralisation (ΔHno). The heat (Q) released during a reaction is calculated by Q = m cp ΔT. The m is the mass of the solution, Cp the specific heat capacity of the solution and ΔT is the…
