Water Conservation Water conservation is important because we depend on it. So many of our daily activities‚ like bathing or flushing the toilet‚ require fresh water. Our body even needs water to function correctly. Seventy-one percent of the Earth’s surface is made up of water. Ninety-eight percent of it all is salt water‚ leaving only two percent as fresh water. More than half of the fresh water is permanently frozen in glaciers or is in the form of snow. That leaves just a tiny

Bread Mold Experiment Mold is something that we often take for granted‚ as something that makes us have to throw the bread away or the cheese smell bad. Mold is‚ in fact‚ a fascinating organism which has had many different uses over the years and our lives would not be the same without it. Most of us know that food seems to become moldy more quickly in the summer than in the winter when it is colder. Food in refrigerators seems to keep longer than food left out in the sun. Is this true? Does temperature

The Milgram experiment The Milgram experiment came about by a Yale University psychologist by the name of Stanley Milgram. The experiment was to test how well the study participants were and the willingness of study participants to obey an authority figure who instructed them to perform acts that conflicted with what they thought was right. He concluded people obey either out of fear or out of a desire to appear cooperative even when acting against their own better judgment and desires. Stanley

Tap Water should be the Water of Choice Scientists have warned for years that when bottles are stored in warm and hot temperatures‚ the plastic been showed to leach chemicals into the water. There are increasing effects of polyethylene terephthalate bottles on our environment. Even the price of bottle water is increasingly outrageous. With the economy the way it is‚ why spend the money on bottle water. The EPA conducted studies on chemicals found in bottled water. Even though the studies found

the group must share the same belief as the group.An experiment by Donna Webster and Arie Kruglanski showed that dissenters who voiced their opinion were rejected by the entire group and this explains that we tend to conform to behaviors around us for the sake of not being rejected(Kruglanski & Webster‚ 1991).The effects of conformity on an individual is apparent in the study taken place in a men’s shower room which explores the concept water conservation (Aronson and O’Leary‚ 1982-1983).

Percent Water in a Hydrate PURPOSE To determine the percent water in a hydrate sample. INTRODUCTION Many substances contain water molecules as a part of their crystal structure. We call such solids hydrates‚ and we call the bound water the water of hydration. A hydrate has a definite number of water molecules bound to each anhydrous salt unit. The formula of the hydrate copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate is CuSO4 · 5 H2O The dot indicates that the molecules of water are attached to the ions in

Objective 1. To demonstrate the relationship between the pressure and temperature of saturated steam in equilibrium with water. 2. To determine the vapour pressure curve. Introduction Properties of a fluid can change when heat and work are applied to it. There’s an interchange between the fluid and its surroundings when heat and work are applied according to the study of thermodynamics. Substances such as gases and vapors are often referred as P-V-T substances. Theory: An ideal gas
