WATER OUR LIFELINE Water is a transparent fluid which forms the world’s streams‚ lakes‚ oceans and rain‚ and is the major constituent of the fluids of living things. As a chemical compound‚ a water molecule contains one oxygen and two hydrogen atoms that are connected by covalent bonds. Water covers 71% of the Earth’s surface.[1] It is vital for all known forms of life. On Earth‚ 96.5% of the planet’s water is found in seas and oceans‚ 1.7% in groundwater‚ 1.7% in glaciers and the ice caps of Antarctica

Experiment # 4a Title: Determination of the Hardness of Water from a Waterfall Aim: To determine the molarity of EDTA and to determine the hardness of water by measuring the concentrations of calcium and magnesium in a water sample by titration. Abstract: The aim of this experiment was to determine the molarity of a sample of EDTA and then to use this sample to determine the hardness of a sample of water. This was done using a titrimetric method. This was standardized using calcium chloride.

is a tool used in farming for initial cultivation of soil in preparation for sowing seed or planting. It has been a basic instrument for most of recorded history‚ and represents one of the major advances in agriculture. The primary purpose of ploughing is to turn over the upper layer of the soil‚ bringing fresh nutrients to the surface‚ while burying weeds and the remains of previous crops‚ allowing them to break down. It also aerates the soil‚ and allows it to hold moisture better. In modern use

I just came back from a business trip this weekend. It was the first time I worked as a “coordinator” for my company. I learned a lot and got “business culture shock” as well. I am not sure if there is the term in English. I just felt I was in another world that I had to speak another language and used another way of thinking especially in business meetings. For example‚ my boss blamed me that I shouldn’t have said “sorry” if he hadn’t said that. In my opinion‚ in Japan‚ it’s very common to

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

Environmental Pollution at Hindustan Lever’s Kodaikanal Plant In mid-2004‚ Hindustan Lever Ltd (HLL) executives looked back at the events of the past three years at their mercury thermometer factory in Kodaikanal in the south Indian state of Tamil Nadu. After mercury leakage from the plant had been reported in March 2001‚ heavy expenditure had been incurred in environmental risk assessment‚ waste disposal and health monitoring. The expenditure had exceeded the total profits generated by the plant

Most people do not realize that atmospheric pollution (also known as air pollution) is a very serious global problem. There are a great number of air pollutants that are basically caused from natural resources. Most of the pollutants are mankind. There are seven air pollutants that are at greater risk to our environment‚ which are the following: particulate matter (made up of acids‚ organic chemicals‚ metals‚ soils‚ and dust particles)‚ nitrogen oxides (made by highly reactive gasses that contain

Plastic Pollution Introduction The world population is living‚ working‚ vacationing‚ increasingly conglomerating along the coasts‚ and standing on the front row of the greatest‚ most unprecedented‚ plastic waste tide ever faced. Washed out on our coasts in obvious and clearly visible form‚ the plastic pollution spectacle blatantly unveiling on our beaches is only the prelude of the greater story that unfolded further away in the the world’s oceans‚ yet mostly originating from where we stand: the
