EXPERIMENT 11: DETERMINATION OF DISSOLVED OXYGEN IN A WATER SAMPLE (WINKLER METHOD) INTRODUCTION In an alkaline solution‚ dissolved oxygen will oxidize manganese(II) to the trivalent state. 8OH-(aq) + 4Mn2+(aq) + 2H2O(l) －－＞ 4Mn(OH)3(s) The analysis is completed by titrating the iodine produced from potassium iodide by manganese(III) hydroxide. 2Mn(OH)3(s) + 2I-(aq) + 6 H+(aq) －－＞ 2Mn2+(aq) + I2(aq) + 6H2O(l) Sodium thiosulphate is used as the titrant. Success of the method is critically

Environmental Science The Scientific Method Amber Steadham October 31‚ 2012 Abstract: We conducted several experiments using the Scientific Method. We made observations‚ recorded them and used our observations to propose a hypothesis. The experiments included chemical and physical reactions dealing with torn news paper‚ appearance of rock salt crystals‚ the appearance of sand‚ oil and water on plastic‚ and making iodine in water and mineral oil. We found that all these included four physical

Throughout the experiments the size of the balloons stayed about the same size except for in experiment 3. Also the bottles that had more sugar had a stronger scent of alcohol and also contained more foam on top of the liquid. All yeast in each of the bottles seemed to have fermented at the same time and stopped/slowed down‚ the growing process‚ at the same time. Bottle 3 also would always overflow and the foam would fill the ballon in every experiment. Another trend with bottle 3 was that in the

changes and thus the community as a whole is altered (Friedman 2017). To study succession‚ one must use one of the following methods: to observe any patterns that occur‚ to conduct experiments that manipulate specific variables in a community‚ or to construct a model that may undergo succession. One example of an experiment that measures microbial succession was an experiment observing changes in traditional Chinese soy sauce over time (Sulaiman et al. 2014). The fermentation of the soy sauce brine

Introduction In this experiment I aim to find out if caffeine has an effect on the heart rate of daphnia. Daphnia are water fleas that have a sort of heart that we can see in magnification. We can count the number of heart beats in a minute of a regular daphnia and try and get a new one with the same specifications as the old one that may have died. It is also a good idea to get a new one as we want to see how much it affects it from ordinary instead of adding the caffeine one after another

Parachute experiment Aim: The aim was to find the effect of holes on a parachute‚ varying their size and number. Hypothesis: 1. By increasing the number of holes‚ the time it will take to the parachute to reach the ground will be longer and its flight will be more balanced. 2. By increasing the size of the hole on the parachute‚ the time it will take to the parachute to reach the ground will be shorter and its flight will be less balanced. Apparatus: - garbage bag (squared shape
