Water Crisis in India: Side Effect of Climate Change There is one very famous quote which says‚ “Water is life’s mater and matrix‚ mother and medium. There is no life without water”. This quote highlights the importance of water and its value in sustenance of life on earth. It has multiple uses and each of them supports life‚ directly or indirectly. Even though 75 percent of our Earth is covered with water‚ less than two percent is fresh water. To make the matters worse‚ only about 1% is available

Roasted Salt-and-Vinegar Potatoes From Cook’s Country | August/September 2012 Share Email Print Shopping list Add to favorites WHY THIS RECIPE WORKS: Cooking small red potatoes in a super-saturated salt solution creates an incredibly creamy‚ well-seasoned potato interior. After the potatoes are par cooked‚ we “smash” them to expose some of the potato flesh‚ brush them with malt vinegar‚ and roast them on a well-oiled sheet pan until the… read more Roasted Salt-and-Vinegar Potatoes Making crispy

The objective: In this experiment‚ I decided to find out how temperature would affect endothermic reactions compared to exothermic reactions. An endothermic reaction absorbs energy in the form of heat. This reaction feels cold because it is taking heat away from its surroundings. It also releases gases. An exothermic reaction is a reaction that releases energy as heat. Since the energy is released‚ the exothermic reactions feel hot. Methods/Materials I did three experiments. I mixed lemon juice

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

AIM The aim of this investigation is to explore the effect of different concentrations of bile salts on the time taken for the lipase enzyme to break down fat. BILE Bile is a brownish bitter alkaline fluid produced by the liver and made by the hepatocytes from water‚ bile salts‚ bile pigments cholesterol and phospholipids and stored in the gall bladder. Bile is directly connected with digestion. It is released sporadically into the small intestine (duodenum) which is part of the gut in order

Option A: Observation: During the winter‚ you spread salt daily on your driveway to melt the snow. In the springtime‚ when the lawn begins to grow‚ you notice that there is no grass growing for about 3 inches from the driveway. Furthermore‚ the grass seems to be growing more slowly up to about 1 foot from the driveway. Question: Might grass growth be inhibited by salt? My hypothesis is that the grass growth is being inhibited by salt. An average winter season last approximately five or

of purified water again. Due to the people of the United States drinking billions of gallons of water daily‚ the amount of purified water we drink is starting to run out which is causing a problem already. Psychological studies have shown humans still don’t accept water being reused even after knowing the water is purified and perfectly clean. Advocates are still against ultraviolet machines being used to clean and purify water. While some people believe that drinking recycled water is both repulsive

Epsom salt have many uses‚ including use as bath salts‚ as a laxative and as a plant nutrient. Epsom salt contains hydrated magnesium sulphate which has the formula MgSO4.xH2O. Experiment to find the value of x in a pure sample of hydrated magnesium sulphate. The method i will use is heating a known mass of magnesium sulphate to remove the water of crystallisation. x is found by weighing before and after heating to find the mass of the water then using the moles calculations to find x.

For this experiment‚ there will be an optimal point for each factor. I believe that the optimal temperature for the enzyme sucrase will be 37°C because that is the point where the temperature increases the rate of reaction to its greatest point without denaturing it. For the pH test‚ I think that the optimal pH for sucrase will be the pH of 7 because it is neutral so it won’t affect the charge in a negative or positive way. For the denaturation test‚ I think that the optimal treatment for the enzyme
