DETERMINATION OF THE WATER OF CRYSTALLISATION April 4‚ 2012 OBJECTIVE: Chemical compounds that contain discrete water molecules as part of their crystalline structure are called hydrates. Hydrates occur quite commonly among chemical substances‚ especially among ionic substances. More often than not‚ such compounds are either prepared in‚ or are recrystallized from‚ aqueous solutions. Hydrates exist for ionic compounds most commonly‚ but hydrates of polar and non polar covalent molecules are also known

Winkler method for dissolved oxygen determination Abstract In this study the group has determined the presence of oxygen in sample through a modified winkler method. The amount of oxygen is determined through a series of reaction. A body of water can sustain life if dissolved oxygen is sufficed. Depletions in dissolved oxygen can cause major shifts in the kinds of aquatic organisms found in water bodies. Introduction The amount of dissolved oxygen present in water or wastewater is essential

Density of Liquids II. Purpose/Background: The purpose if this lab was to determine the density of water and an unknown liquid. Density is defined as the mass of a substance divided by its volume. It is an intrinsive property of matter and is used to specifically characterize substances. III. Procedure: 1.We massed an empty 10mL graduated cylinder to the nearest .01g. 2.Then‚ we filled the graduated cylinder with 4.0-5.0 mL of distilled water‚ 3.massed it to the nearest 0.1 ml and 4. recorded

Andrea Moreno 4 September 2015 Block B Calculations: There are no calculations. Analysis/ Critical Thinking Questions: Compare your data for the pure substances with the data for each of the two solid mixtures. Which of the pure substances shows behavior that is similar to what you saw with the the two-solid mixtures (Mixture 1 and Mixture 2)? If you cannot positively identify your mixture‚ discuss the possibilities for the mixture. The starch and mixture 2 are both similar because they both did

Electricity is one of the most important energies in people’s daily life. Without electricity‚ life will be tough and boring. We could only use candles for illumination and firewood for cooking. There would be not PCs‚ no TVs‚ and even no radios. Electricity brings us a great life and it is an affordable energy. The local electricity price in Fairbanks is about 16 cent per Kilowatt-hour. However‚ the waste of electricity is a serious problem in Wickersham hall. When you walking outside the Wickersham

Properties of Water Water is essential for life as we know it on earth. It is used by plants and animals for basic biological processes which would be impossible without the use of water. The origin of all life can be traced back to the water in the Earth’s precambrien seas. Water is also the universal solvent. It reacts with more elements and compounds than any other substance known to man. Water is a polar molecule made up of on atom of hydrogen and two atoms of oxygen. It is attracted
