Experiment to test level of carbon dioxide in water

Coke has a pH of 2.525. This number is near the end of the pH spectrum having high acidity. Since Coca Cola has the highest acidity we will use coke to test how acidity is affected by the freshness of soda. Having such a low pH means having high acidity. High acidity is not good for your health. Acidity will take away the negative charge from red blood cells. The result of this is that your red blood cells then clump together and not flow as easily as they would without the acid. Acid can also be very bad for your teeth. If the pH level in your mouth drops below the regular level of 5.5, your teeth will begin to demineralize. This means that it will take away the minerals that are needed for your…

live. Nevertheless, it can do much more than that. Walker takes readers on a journey in only seven chapters with topics such as climate change, oxygen, the effects of chlorofluorocarbons, carbon dioxide, the ionosphere, and many more. The author also provides detailed descriptions of the experiments, lives, and discoveries of these brilliant minds who forever changed how we perceive our atmosphere. Once I further investigated the life of Gabrielle Walker, I discovered that she helps businesses…

Introduction Carbon dioxide plays a huge rule on plant growth. This reports points out some positive affects as well as negative aspects of carbon dioxide concentration illustrated through a graph from the three trails. Some positive affect is that if a plant is receiving an average amount of CO2 and water and sunlight, it’ll have a positive affect depending on the type of the plant. The negative affect is if there is an imbalance of one element or if the plant if receiving too much or too…

What is ocean acidification? This is the process caused by carbon is increasing releasing that can over time cause shells of animals and just shells in general to disintegrate. Just from human activity alone 30-40% of human carbon dioxide if affecting the water around us. It is thought to be very harmful to the environment when the acidity is increasing and is thought to be harming the marine organisms. Ocean acidification is a harmful problem from too much carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and…

In the Light Independent Reaction takes place in both light and dark, this all occurs in the chloroplasts. The formula for Light Independent Reaction is 6CO2 + ATP → Glucose + 6H2O. In lab the class performed a couple of different experiments the one that is going to be observed is the effects of carbon dioxide concentration of photosynthesis. The group’s hypothesis was that the 6% sodium carbonate would give the highest reaction because the Elodea will give off more oxygen. The reason why we…

exchange of water and carbon dioxide, the control of body fluid, the control of pH, and particularly the maintenance of homeostasis. Going into this lab, I wanted to observe the different parts of respiratory physiology and determine their purpose in being able to maintain homeostasis in the body. Through this lab I learned about lung capacity, or the amount of air my lungs can carry during different stages, such as inspiratory reserve volume, expiratory reserve volume, tidal volume, vital…

such as sulfur oxides, nitrogen oxides, and carbon dioxide, acids would not be able to form within the atmosphere to create acidic solutions. The cut-off of air pollution would also solve other environmental problems. The solution seems to be to turn to renewable sources quickly to avoid further ocean acidification. If pollution were limited and no actions were taken to neutralize ocean acidification the ocean would be able to neutralize itself over a long time period.…

uses. Firstly, “algae are proposed to play a role in the global carbon cycle by helping remove excess carbon dioxide from the environment” (Moroney et al. 2009). This is important because excess carbon dioxide in the environment causes warming effects, which is harmful to the atmosphere. Furthermore, algae are an accurate indicator of water pollutants and water quality in general. “Because of their nutritional…

This experiment analyzed the dissolved ions in a certain sample of seawater that was collected all around Galveston Bay and allowed an understanding of the composition of saltwater. The students were separated into four groups, each received a sample of seawater from a different location, such as Buoy 21, Day Mark 1, Pelican Island Cut, and the Coast Guard Station. The main ingredient in saltwater is water. Water is composed of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom that are covalently bonded…

respiration. This is the process that organic compounds will be degraded from oxygen to produce water, carbon dioxides, and different forms of energy such as ATP (Reece, et al. 2014). Cellular respiration is important to life because breaking down sugars into usable energy enables living organisms to function to support their life. This topic relates to our lab experiment because…
