The book “The Salt Line” written by Holly Goddard Jones made me think differently about the novel by showing me how terrible of events that occurred if you were outside of the salt line. The salt line was a ring of scorched earth that protected the citizens from deadly disease-carrying ticks.

One of our first writing assignments in class was the One Word assignment. My word was optimistic, but since then, I have been faced with the toughest challenge in my life so far.

Thus, I thank you for the assigning it even when we had a hard time connecting it to the AP test and felt it unnecessary because of it. Also in the meantime, reading Salt to the Sea has helped me calm down and be distracted when I felt overwhelmed. I first complained about having to read a book for the class because I have not enjoyed a majority of the books I have read in my English classes in high school. However, Salt to the Sea turned out to be one of my best reads and I am happy you assigned it. I feel much

The purpose of this experiment was to find the amount and percent of water in a hydrated salt. Hydrated salt contains water molecules chemically bound to it while anhydrous salt is a substance that fire can readily remove the water molecules. Using the gravimetric analysis method, the sample salt was measured, heated, and was measured again after cooled down to room temperature; this procedure allowed the weight of water lost in the salt to be obtained. After two trials, the water in the salt was determined to have an average percent water of -35.04%. The null hypothesis, the heat will not affect the amount of water lost, was rejected ,however, the alternative hypothesis, the heat will allow for there to be water lost, was not supported.
