The effects of rock salt‚ which is used for melting snow in the winter time‚ works in a variety of ways. The main reason is to aid in melting of the snow making it easier for individuals to drive their vehicles and also the sidewalk for pedestrians. Overall‚ the rock salt used for melting snow‚ works but it have some pros and cons about it‚ but using it wisely should be the key to its success. Might grass growth be inhibited by salt? Introduction The usage of salt‚ (rock salt) is

THE EFFECT OF CONCENTRATION ON REACTION RATE INTRODUCTION • Concentration is one factor which has an effect o the rate of a chemical reaction. In chemistry we describe concentration in terms of the number of moles of a substance there are in every cubic decimetre (litre) of solution‚ written as moles.dm-3 of M for short. • In this experiment you will find out how increasing the concentration of the acid solution changes the rate of the reaction between dilute hydrochloric acid and magnesium

3%‚ was diluted using 10 mL of hydrogen peroxide and 20 mL of water. In the second beaker‚ a ¼ dilution of potato extract was made using 2 mL of potato extract and 6 mL of water. The third plastic beaker contained 8 mL of water. Using the first and second beaker the experimental assay was performed. Using forceps a small paper disk was dipped into the second beaker containing the potato catalase for exactly 5 seconds. It was next dried on a paper towel for 5 seconds‚ and finally placed at the

Investigating the effect of different concentrations of glucose on the percent change in mass of Gummy bears according to their respective colours In this experiment osmosis is the main process taking place. Osmosis is the diffusion of water molecules of a solvent which pass through a semi permeable layer and in most cases are due to a concentration gradient meaning that the water molecules travel from an area of low concentration to one of higher concentration. In this investigation‚ gummy bears

Potato Batteries: Veggie power! Data and Analysis Background The battery was invented around 1800 by Alessandro Volta in Italy. It has become an indispensable part of modern life. Why are batteries so useful? Because they convert chemical energy into electrical energy. You can use this electrical energy to light a flashlight‚ to start a car‚ or to listen to your favorite music. We made a simple battery out of a potato by placing in it a zinc strip and a copper strip. At the zinc strip‚ the

Demonstrating osmosis Introduction The movement of water in and out of a system bounded by a membrane permeable to water‚ but not certain other substances‚ can be inferred by either mass changes or volume changes in that system. It is possible to monitor other changes in physical conditions‚ such as texture. Monitoring mass enables quantification of the changes‚ whereas other changes may only be qualitatively measured.

To investigate the effect of variation in temperature on the permeability of cell membranes using fresh beetroot Aims In this investigation‚ you will subject fresh‚ washed beetroot discs to different temperatures to investigate the effect of temperature on the permeability of the plasma membrane. Overview The beetroot discs will be placed in distilled water at different temperatures. You will compare the intensity of the beetroot pigment that has leaked out from the cells subjectively and possibly

Therefore to sum things up‚ my hypothesis is when the Independent variable increases so will the dependant variable. Independent variable: - Surface area of potato Dependant variable: - Gas Controlled variable: - Equal size of potatoes used - Using measuring cylinder Equipment used: - Gas collecting kit - Potato - Stop watch - Test tube - Distilled water - Hydrogen
