Acid precipitation affects stone in two ways: dissolution and alteration. The calcite dissolves when sulfurous‚ sulfuric‚ and nitric acids in polluted air react with the calcite in marble and limestone. Exposed areas of building and statues develop rough surfaces. Some of the material that makes them up are removed or corroded‚ thus‚ details and carvings are lost. Even sheltered areas of stone buildings and monuments are affected by acid precipitation. However‚ sheltered areas on limestone

of the specialized underlying structures of these life-forms. In order for us to appreciate these special adaptation‚ we first need to know how a typical plant or an animal cell organelle behaves in different water and solute concentrations. In this lab‚ we will determine the effects of hypertonic‚ isotonic and hypotonic solutions on plant and animal cells. In general when an animals cell’s placed in hypertonic solution it shrivels; a plant cell on the other hand undergoes plasmolysis. When an animal

Evolution Lab The finches on Darwin and Wallace Islands feed on seeds produced by plants growing on these islands. There are three categories of seeds: soft seeds‚ produced by plants that do well under wet conditions; seeds that are intermediate in hardness‚ produced by plants that do best under moderate precipitation; and hard seeds‚ produced by plants that dominate in drought conditions. Evolution Lab is based on a model for the evolution of quantitative traits–characteristics of an individual

Solvent/Water Trap Diagram Rodney Atwaters Halle Bair May 28‚ 2013 Chemistry 36100 Introduction The purpose of this lab was to produce benzoic acid by mixing sodium benzoate with hydrochloric acid. The Hydrochloric acid used in the experiment was a stock solution made by mixing HCl Acid and deionized water. HCl acid‚ historically called‚ muriatic acid or spirits of salt‚ hydrochloric acid is produced from sulfuric acid and common salt‚ NaCl (Princeton.edu). Since the early 1900 ’s‚ sodium

Toxicology Lab 1. In this investigation‚ a wide range of concentrations of Sodium Chloride (NaCl) solution were created and the effects that they had on radish seeds were tested. This ultimately created a doseresponse experiment in which it was detectable whether or not radish seeds were a reliable bioassay for the toxicity of NaCl. The goal of this experiment was to determine a correlation between toxicity and seed germination/radicle

This ensures variety of soil to ensure that all the site is safe‚ not just a small area where you would have taken your first sample from. I will return to the lab with the samples of soil I have extracted from the site. Here I will make a solution from the samples in order to carry out the identification tests.

Calorimetry To determine the specific heat of a metal and its approximate atomic mass. To determine the heat of neutralization for a strong acid-strong base reaction. To determine the quantity and direction of heat flow for the dissolution of salt. Post Lab Questions and Answers: 1. In parts A and B in‚ the calorimeter‚ although a good insulator‚ absorbs some heat when the system is above room temperature. Is the reported value for the specific heat of the metal too high or too low? Explain. Is the reported
