The greatest human impact on the water quality of Barnegat Bay is irrigation. Irrigation occurs when water is added to land or crops in order to aid in growth. In the northern parts of the bay, where “peak nitrogen levels have been recorded”, many homeowners continually use lawn fertilizers which carry nutrients in the runoff produced (Seitzinger 6). In addition to being a problem in the northern Barnegat Bay area, in the past few years, “the pollution problem is now being magnified by increased…
Different batch experiments were conducted to access the effect of pH on removal of heavy metals by T1B1 strain. 100 ml of sterilized SE medium was inoculated into 250 ml Erlenmeyer flask containing 100 µl (107cells/ml) of bacterial suspension with HM (mg L-1): Fe (150), Mn (100), Ni (50), Cd (30), Cu (30) and Zn (50) with pH adjusted to 4, 6.5 and 9. Another set of experiments were set up by inoculating SE medium containing HMs (mg L-1 ): Cr+6 (100, 150, 200), Fe (100, 150, 200), Ni (50, 100,…
release of fat. The tubes are centrifuged and the fat rising into the calibrated part of the tube is measured as a percentage of the fat content of the milk sample. Apparatus: - Butyro meter, 10.75ml pipette,amyl alcohol, stoppers, gerber centrifuge, water bath. Reagents:-Sulphuric acid, amyl alcohol. Procedure:- Transfer 10 ml of sulphuric acid in to butyro meter . Warm the sample approximately to 270C and mix thoroughly but do not shake it so vigorously as to cause churning of the fat.…
In the last two weeks, Roundup was added to water and the spectra were measured. The initial test ranging from 1% to 100% was to concentrated. This was indicated because the spectra’s absorbances were larger than one. Furthermore, when looking at figure 1, once above 0.30% data flattens off. Once the range was narrowed with serval more trial the range being now sampled is between 0.01 % to 0.30%. The lambda max is ranging from 307 to 309 wavelengths. Glyphosate’s structure contains three major…
The predicted results / graph shows that dettol hand wash will be the most effective and have a marginally better zone of inhibition than dettol hand sanitiser, while the control hat contains nothing, will be the least effective. Experimental Procedures Independent Variable An independent variable is a variable that remains unchanged and stands alone. My independant variable is each hand cleaning product used. Organic Care orange and ginger antibacterial hand wash, Palmolive antibacterial…
“investigate the effect of heating a hydrate salt” (Sanders). This will be achievable after finding the masses of chlorine, copper, and water. Introduction In this experiment, the students are using the law of multiple proportions to find the chemical formula for the compound (Sanders). The students will be working with a compound that contains chlorine, copper, and water (Sanders). The empirical formula that is provided to the student is 〖Cu〗_a 〖Cl〗_b∙xH_2 O, and it stands for the copper…
The NaOH is a colorless solution. HCl is also a colorless solution. The test tube heated up immediately after adding in the (HCl). (3b) distilled water is a colorless liquid. While NH4Cl (Nh4 is known ammonium) is a white powder that looked like salt and also looked glittery. The test tube was cooled down. (4a) CuSO4 is an acura blur color solution that seemed to have stuff at the bottom of the…
appropriate program specified in the Control Unit to determine the time of boiling (15 minutes), rinsing (30 minutes), recovery (10 minutes) and pre-drying (5 minutes). Open the tap water to allow the reflux process occurred in a condenser at Extraction Unit. With the cooling process by water at about 15 ̊C, the water flow should be adjusted to the rate of 2 L / min to prevent boiling of solvents from the condenser. Preparation of sample is done with paved filter paper, weighing accurately 2.0 g…
required: 1. 0.1 M glycine buffer: 7.5 g of glycine and 5.85 mg of sodium chloride were dissolved in one litre of distilled water. 2. Buffered substrate: 2.76 g of lithium lactate was dissolved in 125 ml of glycine buffer containing 75 ml of 0.1 N sodium hydroxide solution. This was prepared just before use. 3. 0.4 N NaOH. 4. 5.0 mg of NAD+ was dissolved in 1.0 ml of distilled water just before use. 5. 2,4-dinitrophenyl hydrazine reagent (DNPH) : 200 mg of DNPH was dissolved in one litre of 1 N…
CAUTION: It is best not to get dichloromethane on your skin. Gloves are to be worn during this experiment, if improper safety precautions are taken there is a possibility of irritation, and or burning of the skin. CAUTION: Gas will build up in the separatory funnel while you are shaking it, so you must vent the funnel occasionally to prevent the stopper from popping out, causing a mess and possibly getting dichloromethane on your skin. ~During the pre-phase of this experiment it is…
