Nitrate

Discussion The nitrate and phosphate levels shown in through my data relates to my hypothesis since it proves that the epigeic earthworms in the soil increased the nutrients in the soil, since the average nitrate and phosphate levels increased from tests 1-3. The results from this experiment showed that the control group increased their phosphate levels more so than the experimental groups, which contained the red wriggler earthworms. This could have been due to high amounts of Ca²⁺ in the water…

about nitrate, we actually must understand what a polyatomic ion is. A polyatomic is an ion which consist of molecules, thus, it may also be referred as a molecular ion. Two or more atoms covalently bond or share electron pairs with each other to make up a polyatomic ion. Once they have bonded, they become considered as a whole single ion. Moreover, it is known to have a charge, most polyatomic ions have a negative charge but there is an exception with a positive charge. In this case, nitrate…

The Thermodynamics of Potassium Nitrate Dissolving in Water Introduction: This experiment focuses on thermodynamics or the study of heat and molecular randomness. It helps illustrate how and why potassium nitrate (KNO3) dissolves in water. When it dissolves, it dissociates into potassium (K+) and nitrate (NO3-) ions. These ions can also recombine into solid potassium nitrate. This reaction can reach a state where concentrations of ions remain constant or Ksp; which stands for the equilibrium…

The steps of synthesis process can be explained in Fig. 1. The Zn (NO3)2.4H2O (zinc nitrate tetrahydrate) and Al (NO3)2.9H2O (aluminum nitrate nonahydrate) (Merck) are used as a precursor. ZnO precursor solution with the concentration of 0.15 M was made by dissolving 0.89 grams of powder precursor Zn(NO3)3.4H2O in 40 ml of solvent. Solvent comprises a mixture of 30 ml deionized water and 10 ml of ethanol. To speed up the process of dissolution, the mixture was stirred using a magnetic stirrer…

and quantity. One of the environmental problems that have become an increasingly important problem in developed and developing countries is nitrite and nitrate contamination of surface and ground water. The groundwater pollution due to nitrate is increasing in India. Water quality assessment studies…

known. Purpose: The purpose of this experiment is to determine the type of chemicals that are inside the mislabeled bottles. Materials: • pH strips • 8 bottles of known chemicals: o silver nitrate o iron (III) nitrate o copper (II) nitrate o sodium iodine o sodium hydroxide o nitric acid o lead (II) nitrate o sodium carbonate • 8 bottles of unlabeled chemicals the same contents as known chemicals • 1 well tray Procedure 1. Place 7-10 drops of each chemical (known and unknown) into…

test the water to determine the levels of Nitrates and Phosphates in this lake. I will see which parts of the lake is the highest and least contaminated. 2. There are 3 man made Nitrates. The 1st one is when fertilizers that are given to plants are released into the lake. Synthetic Fertilizer in the past 100 years has spread abnormal amounts of Nitrates into rivers, lakes, and marine coastline waters all over the world. The 2nd manmade Nitrate is when sewer…

11/4/2017 Original Synthesis of Cadmium Nitrate Tetra-Hydrate Cadmium nitrate tetra-Hydrate is an inorganic compound from the family of compounds with the general formula Cd (NO3)2.XH20, where X=4, hence the molecule has four molecules of water of crystallization in its structure. It exists as a salt but in its anhydrous state, it is known to be a volatile substance. It is a colorless substance as are all the compounds in the family of cadmium nitrates. Cadmium nitrate is a colorless,…

substance was formed or a substance that is not aqueous was formed. The reactions that did not form a precipitate were DNR, which means that they did not react. At station one barium chloride and potassium nitrate did not react but barium chloride and silver nitrate reacted to form barium nitrate and silver chloride. The precipitate at station one was silver chloride. Both reactions at station two did not react. Station three had a reaction occur between sodium carbonate and calcium sulfate…

Things other than nitrate pollution, however, can cause dissolved oxygen and it can be its own, independent issue in the source. Dissolved oxygen is special, as it is non-compound oxygen molecules, or O2, within water. The oxygen molecule bonded with the hydrogen that makes…
