The purpose of this lab was to model the significant differences in density that oceans experience when glaciers and polar ice caps melt. It demonstrated that the variation in density greatly affects salt water. I discovered that the increase in freshwater causes a decrease in density. I made three claims. First‚ the higher the salinity of the water is‚ the denser it will be. This was shown in my data by the fact that‚ with 0mL of fresh water‚ the density was 1.108 g/mL For every milliliter of fresh

Abstract By separating chemicals out of a mixture and purifying them through sublimation and recrystiliation‚ changes in the substances physical properties can be shown. A salicylic acid-naphthalene mixture was mixed together with diethyl ether and saturated sodium bicarbonate. Two layers separated and were extracted after acidifying with HCl. This precipitated the crude salicylic acid. The left over mixture was combined with water and the two layers separated where crude naphthalene was recovered

Advantages and Disadvantages of Oil Sands Oil sands are a type of unconventional petroleum deposit. They are loose sand or partially consolidated sandstone that contains natural mixtures of clay and sand‚ saturated with a viscous form of petroleum. Natural petroleum deposits are reported in many countries‚ but are found in extremely large quantities in Canada; 70.8% of the globally estimated oil sand reserves are in Canada. Most of the oil sands of Canada are located in northern Alberta. They

Saline Salt Company Analysis The Saline Salt Company production process was simple. Their process involved extracting salt from six tanks of 900‚000 cubic feet of seawater which could only be held on a large plot of land. As land becomes more valuable and rarer‚ expansion of the existing method becomes very difficult. Saline Salt Company could not compete with other companies that were producing larger amounts of salt in shorter amounts of time. Saline Salt Company did not expand as the needs
