Heather Crall Chemistry 1 SMT- 271044 10/17/2012 Abstract From seeing all of my results and conclusion I now see that I didn’t understand this lab very well and that its not easy when others try to help. Since I have hard water it tells me that my water flows over and through rocks and minerals‚ like limestone. Purpose The purpose of this lab is to become familiar with the concept of water hardness. We learn that hard water contains high levels of dissolved minerals that are in the form

Article Summary Effects of earthworms on soil Earthworm is the common name for the largest members of Oligochaeta in the phylum Annelida. They combine bilateral symmetry and corresponding external and internal segmentation. This phylum consists of more than 17‚000 modern species of worms including earthworms‚ ragworms‚ and leeches. They are found in marine environments from tidal zones to hydrothermal vents‚ in fresh water‚ and in most terrestrial environments. They generally do not occur

Geotechnical Engineering Practice | August 19‚ 2012 1 The origins of soil deposits on the earth’s crust can reveal significant findings in the chemical and mechanical characteristics of the soils themselves. It is important to uncover such origins to find how and where such deposits may have formed over tens of thousands of years ago. Marine and Lacustrine deposits are two soil types that are commonly encountered during soil exploration‚ both of which are primarily traced back to either glacial

Ways to Prevent Soil Erosion Soil Erosion Although many areas on earth can sustain plant growth‚ only about eight percent of the earth’s surface is covered with good topsoil. While it takes nature hundreds of years to make a few centimeters of topsoil‚ erosion can easily remove it. Without topsoil‚ people cannot raise crops for food.People know that without good soil they cannot raise agricultural crops. They also know from experience that wind and water can easily remove topsoil. Because of

The role of bacteria in the soil Bacteria in the soil play key role in recycling matter in to useful nutrients which can be used by growing plants. This process of recycling matter in the soil by living organisms is called biogeochemical cycle. Bacteria are improving plants growth in other ways too‚ for example bacteria‚ such as Rhizobium‚ are in symbiotic relationship with the root system of some terrestrial plants. The most important elements‚ which allow terrestrial plants grow well‚ are

Soil FRQ A) One chemical soil test we could do is a pH level test so we are able to tell what crops can grow in what areas. Other chemical tests include salinity‚ organic content (humus)‚ or the iron exchange capacity. One Physical Soil test we can do is pick up a handful of it and rub it together with our fingers to tell if it’s a soil heavy in clay‚ silt‚ or sand. Other physical tests include water-holding capacity porosity‚ moisture content‚ soil structure‚ or color. By completing these tests

Experiment 3: Soil pH measurement Introduction Aims The aims of the experiment were to determine the pH of a variety of soils which included sedentary‚ 3:2‚ sand‚ organic matter with the means of a pH meter at various soil water ratios and with or without calcium chloride. Method and Materials Samples of sedentary soil‚ 3:2 soil‚ sand‚ organic matter and compost‚ 100ml vials(x12)‚ bottle of distilled water‚ analytical balance‚ pH meter‚ 2 buffer solution of known pH‚ 0.25M calcium

Laboratory 3: Molarity Of Saline Solution Data: Please write your observations about the appearance of the solution. 1. Normal Saline- The solution appeared clear at the start with slight particles showing‚ once adding the salt it still appeared clear. 2. Nasal Irrigation Saline- Solution appeared cloudy once adding the salt and baking soda‚ then it turned semi-clear about 30 secs later; it was more concentrated than the normal saline. Results: 1. Determine the molar mass of NaCl. Show the workup
