Reverse Osmosis For Wastewater Recycling Reusing treated wastewater for beneficial purposes‚ such as agricultural and landscape irrigation‚ industrial processes‚ toilet flushing‚ or groundwater basin replenishment‚ is growing in response to environmental and economic concerns. One of the key factors involved in recycling wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) effluent for another use is the need to reduce total dissolved solids (TDS). This is often done by using a reverse osmosis (RO) system‚ which

Digestive System Enzymes Digestion of Carbohydrates in relation to Ph. levels 2012 HAUBER-SIX‚ Janina Queensland Government 1/1/2012 Digestive System Enzymes Digestion of Carbohydrates in relation to Ph. levels 2012 HAUBER-SIX‚ Janina Queensland Government 1/1/2012 The follow experiment was prepared‚ conducted and analysed in order to test at which pH level starch will be digested at fastest. The digestive system is a complex network of organs as well as other structures

Temperature and pH will both effect and change the active site of an enzyme. Denaturing‚ the changing of the shape of an enzyme‚ will occur if a big enough change in temperature and pH to go away from that enzyme’s optimal conditions. Each enzyme has optimal conditions which is the best temperature and pH for that enzyme to function. When temperature and pH move away from those conditions the enzyme could slow down its rate of activity

Billy Kong Chem&163 Lab Report 1 Analysis of Acids‚ Bases‚ pH and Salt Purpose: Explore various methods for determining the characteristics of acid/base solution. The goal of this experiment include the investigation of various acid/base indicators‚ calculating the change of pH with concentration‚ change of pH due to the addition of salt and different between strong and weak acids/bases. Safety and Disposal: Use extreme caution when handling concentrated acids and bases. Dispose of all

Potato Osmosis Introduction: A shipwrecked sailor is stranded on a small desert island with no fresh water to drink. They know they could last without food for up to a month‚ but if they didn’t have water to drink they will be dead within a week. Hoping to postpone the inevitable‚ their thirst drives them to drink the salty seawater. They are dead in two days. Why do you think drinking seawater killed the sailor faster than not drinking any water at all? Today we explore the cause of the sailor’s

Background An indicator is a halochromic chemical compound that is added to a solution to determine its pH. It is a chemical detector for hydronium ions. The indicator changes colour to show the pH of the solution. Some indicates are not very precise and only tell us whether the solution is acidic or basic. When the indicator is added to the solution‚ they bind to hydrogen or hydroxide ions. The different electron configurations of the bound indicator cause the indicator ’s colour to change.

AP Bio Lab Report Osmosis and Diffusion Introduction When a substance is released into an area‚ the random movement of its molecules results in a multitude of collisions. These collisions‚ in turn‚ lead to a dispersion of the molecules. The overall movement of the molecules will be from an area of high concentration‚ where there will be more collisions‚ to areas of low concentration‚ where the number of collisions will be much less. This process of dispersion will continue until there is no

Effect of Osmosis on Egg Introduction: The purpose of this lab was to test the effects of hypertonic‚ isotonic‚ and hypotonic environments on the weight of a shell-less egg. We tested the weight of the egg after thirty minutes in water as well as corn syrup. I hypothesized that when the egg was placed in water‚ it would swell and gain weight because it was in a hypotonic environment. That hypothesis was correct as the egg grew slightly and the weight when up. I also hypothesised that when the egg

The process of osmosis and its importance to living organisms Osmosis is the process by which there is a net movement of water through a semi permeable membrane from an area of high water potential to an area of low water potential. Within a cell‚ osmosis has the following effect. If the water potential of the cell is lower than that around the cell water will move across a concentration gradient into the cell. If this is the case‚ the increase in water in the cell‚ may cause the cell to swell

QUALITIES OF GOOD WATER by Dr. Robert O. Young There are many measurements of water‚ but the most important for determining the best water to drink are‚ the pH‚ oxidative reduction potential—or energy potential/activity—molecular structure‚ and purity. Science has helped us to determine that the best measurements for our drinking water are the pH and purity‚ but little understood is the importance of the molecular structure of water. Assuming that most waters that humans are drinking are purified
