The Soothing Sensation That is Bath Salts Introduction “Oh yeah‚ me and my girlfriend have a big bag of lavender bath salts sitting at home‚” was the initial reaction when I asked a fellow engineer to portray as a testimonial for our borderline inappropriate bath salts infomercial. Contrary to popular belief‚ this new synthetic drug is far away from producing any effects that are similar to that of a relaxing bath. Until recently‚ bath salts were popularized to be a “legal high.” In order to tip

supernatant liquid and denser slurry having a higher concentration of solids. This is usually accomplished by allowing the particles to settle through the force of gravity‚ mechanically using centrifugal force‚ or electrostatically using an electric current. Continuous sedimentation tanks are usually used in wastewater treatment facilities to separate suspended particles from wastewater. This experiment aims to determine the effect of initial concentration and initial height of the slurry on its settling

Salt and Ice; Minnesotas Battle Abstract Salt is applied in the thousands of tons every year to reduce ice and‚ in turn‚ reduce accidents on Minnesota roads. When the ice and snow melt each spring‚ the majority of this solution is relieved into rivers and lakes through storm drains on Minnesota roads. The salt negatively affects fish and aquatic plants by dehydrating them and altering fertilization. The damaging effects of sodium chloride are long term and not easily repaired. The Minnesota

The litmus paper and the pH probe determined the salt solutions’ pH levels. When the blue litmus paper was dipped into ammonium chloride‚ the paper was changed to red whereas the red litmus paper stayed the same indicating that the solution was acidic. PH levels shown through pH probe also ranged between 5.5 to 6.0. Yet when in the presence of sodium acetate blue litmus stayed blue whereas red litmus turned blue‚ indicating its basicity. pH probe also showed the solution’s pH varied between the

I am going to investigate osmosis when potato is placed in different concentrations of sucrose. I am aiming to witness osmosis in 5 different concentrations of sucrose. I will use 5 varying concentrations so that I have a wider spread to compare the results‚ and check that I don’t have any anomalies Prediction Osmosis is the process of diffusion of water molecules from a weaker solution into a stronger solution‚ through a semi permeable membrane. The tiny pores in the membrane

Spilled Salt By: Barbara Neely Something I liked about this story was that it had a realistic plot. It’s completely possible for a mother to have her son go to jail and come back unexpected. This actually happened to someone I knew‚ they were in jail for raping a girl‚ when they really didn’t and his mom had a hard time dealing with him being back from jail when really she just wanted him to leave her life completely. Something I didn’t like about the story was the character of the mom‚ she seemed

An investigation to see how much oxygen is given off when different concentrations of catalase are added with hydrogen peroxide. Aim: To see if changing the concentration of catalase (found in celery) with hydrogen peroxide affects the amount of oxygen given of. Background Information: (Hydrogen peroxide - H2O2 1/2O2+H2O) Enzymes: Hundreds of chemical reactions happen simultaneously inside living cells and it’s the job of enzymes to control and regulate the various metabolic

ORGANIC MATTER AND INORGANIC MATTE Organic matter is that which is living or has been alive‚ e.g. wood or coal. Inorganic matter is that which is not living and never has been alive‚ e.g. water or iron. Inorganic substances can be built up into organic compounds by living organisms. All living matter is made up of small units called cells. Some organisms‚ such as bacteria‚ consist of one single cell; others‚ like human beings‚ consist of many hundreds of millions of cells‚ all functioning together

saltwater. Both can drown you but in completely difference ways. Drowning in saltwater is not as dangerous as it counterpart due to how easily you can recover from it. When you breathe in saltwater it goes in the lungs and sits there. Because the salt concentration of saltwater is really high compared to the cells in the lungs the water does not pass through and into the cells. The water is hypertonic so for the body to reach equilibrium with saltwater‚ water from the blood cells are sent out into the

increase in the pumping of freshwater wells is higher than the rate at which freshwater naturally produces. The production rate for freshwater takes time and depends on a few factors such as the climate‚ precipitation‚ surface runoff‚ and temperatures affect the rate at which freshwater accumulates. When over pumping occurs and the underground freshwater process is slow‚ ocean water replaces the absent ground water and thus areas suffer saltwater intrusion in the aquifers. Wind powered pumps had been
