Water quality is a complex term to evaluate. The health of a water ecosystem depends on so many variables. These parameters are each intertwined and connected. For simplicity there are several mainstream parameters that are used in conjunction with each other to determine the water s quality. These include: alkalinity, ammonia content, carbon dioxide, chlorine, nitrates, dissolved oxygen, phosphates, temperature, and turbidity. The most visible sign of poor water quality is reduced animal populations

such as, bacteria, pathogens, medical wastes, oils, even heavy metals! All of these are putting the marine life at risk of death. Also, water in the atmosphere is mixing with the chemicals emitted from burning fossil fuels, forming acidic compounds. Acid rain has had many effects on ecosystems, especially aquatic ones. Plus there are toxic amounts of aluminum being disposed improperly by being put into the water. This kills wildlife and throws delicate ecosystem out of balance. Don’t you see how deadly

What is an Acid-Base Neutralization Reaction? Acid-base neutralization reactions are ubiquitous, yet they play an immense role in various contexts of life. For instance, they help maintain homeostasis in the biological systems and regulate the conditions of soil in agriculture. In general, neutralization reactions required two reactants: an acid and a base, which combine to form water and a salt. A neutralization reaction is a “reaction between an acid and a base” (Burdge 365). In this case, the

contaioning the least concentration of H+ ions, being the most alkaline is “14”. The nutral point being about “7” on the scale. The body becomes too akaline when the pH level moves above 7.45. When the pH moves below 7.35 the body is too acidic. The acid base balance is disturbed by disease. Deth

optimum would be at a pH is 7, due to the liver, where catalase usually resides, being neutral. The experiment consists of introducing the catalase to hydrogen peroxide, after exposure to certain solutions; hydrogen peroxide, water and hydrochloric acids, all containing the adjusted pH, and measuring the height of froth formed, an observable representation of the activity of the enzyme. The final data indicated that

How to Make Kool-Aid Making Kool-Aid is easy and convenient. Many people use it for parties and just to drink at home. It is not hard to make the Kool-Aid. All one needs to do is just gather ingredients and follow the instructions. Correct ingredients, accurate preparation, and preforming processes are the three things needed to make Kool-Aid right every time. The ingredients someone would need are a pitcher large enough to hold at least half- gallon of water. The next thing will be your

This year I went on a field trip to the Conodoguinet Creek. This creek runs into the Susquehanna River and drains 500 square miles of diverse landscapes. Conodoguinet comes from an indian word meaning “a long way with many bends.” It begins near Carlisle at North Middleton Park and comes to an end in West Fairview, when it flows into the Susquehanna River. The Conodoguinet Creek is about 90 miles of bends and loops that meander throughout Cumberland Valley. When I went on this trip, I tested

Chamber Take the stainless steel wire and measure out a piece that is 21 cm. Make two. Bend the wires such that it hooks around the edge of the plastic box and is parallel to the width of the box. Figure 1. Each stainless steel wire is bent such that it can hook over the edge of the box Connect the five 9V batteries together so the positive terminal of one battery connects to the negative terminal of another battery. Once all five batteries are connected there should be positive and negative

Maureen Dix Chem 245-002 Yang 4/13/17 Short Paper #2: Oxidation of 4-nitrobenzyl alcohol To begin the oxidation reaction, first prepare the oxidant that will be used. To make the oxidant combine 390 mg of each of the following compounds: activated 4Ǻ molecular sieve, PCC, and anhydrous sodium acetate. This mixture should be grinded into a powder using a mortar and pestle. Once the oxidant is made the reaction can take place. Obtain a clean, dry 5mL conical vial with a spin vane. Add 1.17 g of the

In this experiment, methyl benzoate was synthesized from benzoic acid and methanol with acid catalyze using Fisher Esterification. First benzoic acid and methanol were mixed in 100 mL round bottom flask. We cooled the mixture in ice and poured 3 mL of conc. H2SO4 and swirled to mix compounds. Then we refluxed the mixture for 1 hour. We let the solution cool and then decanted into a separatory funnel containing 50 mL of water and rinsed the round bottom flask with 35 mL of tert-butyl methyl ether
