Experiment to test level of carbon dioxide in water

elevated carbon dioxide concentrations” by Katharina Fabricus is about how the acidification of the ocean is affecting marine organisms. Acidification is a chain reaction of what happens when the CO2 in the atmosphere is high. Higher CO2 in the atmosphere leads to higher CO2 levels in oceans, when the CO2 dissolves in the seawater it causes carbonic acid to form, and more carbonic acid leads to lower levels of the waters pH, resulting in harm to the aquatic life that inhabits the waters. This…

Based on the negative effects, we can see that global warming is an unstoppable theory, proven to be true. Al Gore explains in his book Our Choice that humans play a large factor in causing global warming. Everything we do produces carbon dioxide. Every time humans burn material, they release…

Research Proposal Ocean pH Levels and Shellfish Survivability Josh Lewis Abstract: Ocean acidification is a growing issue that is causing young shellfish to die, which is hurting marine ecosystems. Research has been done on the topics involved (pH levels, effects of ocean acidification on shellfish, etc.) many times, and though it’s a slow moving issue, it is evident. As I stated, this is an extremely important topic to know about because thriving marine ecosystems are being damaged. As…

Introduction: Photosynthesis is the process used by plants, algae and some bacteria, to use the energy from the sunlight to transform carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. The equation for photosynthesis is: carbon dioxide + water light energy glucose + oxygen. Chloroplasts are an organelle found in the leaves of green plants and are essential in photosynthesis as they are responsible for producing the glucose and storing the energy. Photosynthesis is vital for all life on…

enzyme in which it binds atmospheric carbon dioxide, with high affinity, in order to produce one molecule of glucose. The enzyme associated with C3 plants that converts carbon dioxide into glucose is known as ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase, RuBisCo. This enzyme is regulated by carbon dioxide and oxygen,…

Nancy’s Home remedy required 0.09 grams to neutralise the acid. The next most effective antacid was DeWitt’s, which required 0.14 grams. The least effective was Mylanta which required 1.06 grams to neutralise the acid. The more antacid added to the test tube, the higher the pH and the greater difference in colour. A discrepancy in the results is that even though each compound making up DeWitt’s antacid powder had a higher reading pH than the one in Nancy’s Home Remedy, more of DeWitt’s was…

outcome of the experiment, in this case the dependent variable is the circumference of the balloon in centimeters. The scientists control would be the same balloons, same amount of sugar per gram, same amount of yeast per gram, same amount of time run for each…

distances from the light source. Our experiment followed the Biology 152 Photosynthesis Lab. We varied the distance from the leaves and the light source. Our distances we tested were 0, 12, and 24 inches from the light source. This experiment is important in the real world in green houses. The goal is to have plants grow and they can do this by placing plants close to a light source to ultimately get the best rate of photosynthesis. Our hypothesis for this experiment is as the distance from the…

dangers: flammable and combustible chemicals (alcohol, sodium), oxidation (hair dye), bio hazardous products (which causes AIDS, rabies), toxic items (lead, benzene), poison (carbon monoxide), corrosive compounds (bleach), dangerously reactive chemicals (fluorine) and compressed gas (propane, CO2). Regarding this experiment, the there is always a possibility for mishaps and the like occurring that range from stains onto clothing to the irritation of the eyes. Chemicals such as copper (II)…

phase and gets mixed in with the precipitation causing the overall pH to slowly decrease (J. Kieber et al., 2005). A decrease in rainwater pH has negative effects on the environment. Rain covers the Earth's surface affecting everything on in. An experiment on bean plants showed that acidic rain has several impacts on plant behavior and function. Plants that were exposed to acidic rain demonstrate a decrease in growth rate. The bean plants displayed reduced…
