property of water is that it is an excellent solvent. This is because of the chemical composition and physical attributes of water. Since water is polar‚ it allows water molecules to become attracted to different molecules. The attraction can be so powerful that it can disrupt the attractive forces of the different molecules. For example‚ water can be heavily attracted to salt that it can disrupt the forces that hold sodium and chloride‚ therefore dissolving it. The second property of water is its high

The effect of salt concentrations on the mass of the pear cubes ‘Pyrus’ after being soaked in water Aim: The effect of salt concentrations on the mass of the pear ‘Pyrus’ pieces shaped as cubes of 1cm. Background: Osmosis is the net movement of water molecules through a semi-permeable membrane from an area of higher water potential to an area of lower water potential. Water makes up to 70-90% of living cells and cell membranes are partially permeable membranes. Dissolved substances attract

My conclusion is that the higher salt concentration in the solution the greater the decrease in mass of the potato will be‚ the graph I have drawn supports my conclusion. The 10% salt concentration shows that on average the potato loses 2.6% of its overall mass. 20% salt concentration shows a further decrease in mass this time it is an average of 13% overall mass decrease. 30% salt concentration shows an average decrease of 18.8% in overall mass. The 0% salt concentration actually shows a mass increase

Water Technology Hardness of Water: Natural waters containing large quantities of dissolved salts of Calcium (Ca) & Magnesium (Mg) is called hard water. It is a characteristic of preventing lather formation of water with soap. Ca2+ & Mg2+ ions react with soaps which are salts of fatty acids (stearic or palmitic acid) to give insoluble scums or precipitates of calcium or magnesium stearate or palmitate. 2C17H35COO- + Ca2+ → (C17H35COO)2 Ca (scum) 2C17H35COO- + Mg2+ → (C17H35COO)2

Properties of Water Lab # 1 Biology 111 January 23‚ 2011 INTRODUCTION With surface tension it is made possible for items such as paper clips to float on water‚ because a molecule within the mass of a liquid encounters gravity to all adjacent molecules in all directions. When you use surfactant substances this creates hydrogen bonds. Purpose of experiment 1 will be to show that once the surfactant substances hits the hydrogen bond pulls down paper clips. Things

ESSAY ON WATER & ENERGY CRISIS IN PAKISTAN 1. INTRODUCTION: “Water is precious‚ use it wisely” says a notice placed in the bathroom of a five star hotel in Karachi. There could not be a sounder piece of advice but it should be given not only to the guests of the five star hotels but also to the entire citizenry of Pakistan. Pakistan is rapidly moving to the situation when it will begin to be ranked among the countries that have severe shortages of fresh water. Wise use of this precious resource

How Important is Water?As we all know‚ water is essential for mankind ’s survival. However‚ people seem to believe that our water supply is endless since there is more water than land on this Earth. Water regenerates and is redistributed through evaporation‚ making it seem endlessly renewable. So why worry?Actually‚ only one percent of the world ’s water has the capability of being used by us. About ninety-seven percent is salty seawater‚ and two percent is frozen in glaciers and polar ice caps.

Present State of Indian Cricket team The Indian cricket team is the national cricket team of India. Governed by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI)‚ it is a full member of the International Cricket Council (ICC) with Test and One Day International (ODI) status. Although cricket was introduced to India by European merchant sailors in the 18th century‚ and the first cricket club in India was established in Calcutta in 1792‚ India’s national cricket team did not play its first Test match

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

Part A: Title: Diffusion Diffusion is the spontaneous movement of particles from where they are more concentrated to where they are less concentrated. For this experiment‚ a 14 cm glass was filled with cold tap water. A drop of red food coloring was dropped in the cup. A stopwatch was used to measure the time it took for the food coloring to get to the bottom of the cup. The average diffusion rate was .78 cm a second. If a different color was used‚ I do not think it would have made a difference
