    The problem of AMD is serious at many sites and can happen after mine closure. Quantities and concentrations of AMD depend on site-specific characteristics. Chemical, biological, and physical factors are important for the rate of AMD generation. These factors can be characterized by dumps with high permeability and high oxygen ingress that contribute to higher ARD reaction rates. The dumps that increase sediment loads can cause loss of habitat in the surrounding area. Thus, this leads to higher temperatures

    Purpose The purpose of this virtual lab is to observe the acid-base balance in the urinary system by how PCO2 and blood pH affect the H+ and HCO3- in the urine. The renal compensation is a mechanism that shows the kidneys manage to change pH in correct way if the respiratory system is not healthy. The kidneys are two organs that help remove wastes and extra fluids out of the body.

    The information above shows the results observed from the experiment. The unknown substance was first observed to be a white, powder that had no smell. When it was mixed with the water, it produced a clear odorless solution. The pH was taken immediately from the solution once it was mixed properly. The pH came out to a 10 on a 14 level scale. This indicated that the solution was a strong alkaline base. With this information, the list of possible solutions are narrowed down to only basic solutions
