Abstract: This report presents the reason why the ocean does not freeze in the winter. Since the ocean consists of salt water‚ an experiment was done to test the effect of freezing on salt water compared to pure water. The experiment was conducted three times in order to obtain accurate results and eliminate errors. In addition to the salt and pure water experiment‚ a variation of this experiment was created to test other options. In the variation experiment the effect of freezing on sugar water was conducted

Water quality and contamination Student’s Name Institution 20th September 2014 Water quality and contamination Introduction This report focus on factors that affects the quality of water‚ agents of water contamination and how water impurities can be removed for water quality. There are two visible features of contaminated water; colour and smell. Contaminated water usually has unusual smell and coloured. Invisible factors affecting water quality are sources of water. For instance; tap water

extreme conditions‚ they do require clean air. This is why they are excellent environmental indicator. An indicator species is an organism whose presence or absence reflects the overall health of an environment. Lichens flourish where there is good air quality; however‚ they cannot survive where the air is polluted and toxins loom. This is because they have no stomata‚ or pores‚ to shut to keep the toxins out; therefore‚ absorbing all of the pollutants in the air. Because they are such unique organisms

simple mechanisms used to convert rotary motion into oscillating linear motion and vice-versa. The first of these is the slider-crank - a mechanism widely used in engines to convert the linear thrust of the pistons into useful rotary motion. In this lab we will measure the acceleration of the piston of a lawn mower engine at various speeds. The results exemplify a simple relation between speed and acceleration for kinematically restricted motions‚ which will discover. An adjustable slider-crank apparatus

body’s defenses against pathogens. Microorganisms are capable of causing infection or spoilage. Controlling bacterial growth is important in poultry farm businesses that use equipment to decontaminate processing plant fluids before disposal. During quality control and safety evaluations‚ bacteria growth that needs to be controlled can be found. While controlling bacterial growth‚ clusters of Gram Positive Cocci were found. It was found some ways to control bacterial growth were disinfection‚ sterilization

Coulomb’s Law Purpose: The purpose of this lab was to demonstrate that the force between two stationary charges is directly proportional to the product of the charges and inversely to the square of the distance between them. Coulomb’s law tells us that the force between two charges depends (1) linearly on the strength of each charge‚ and (2) inversely on the square of the distance between them. Mathematically we would write this as . Procedures Part1 Begin by removing the right side

TITLE OF EXPERIMENT 2 : DILUTION 2.1: OBJECTIVES Upon completion of this experiment‚ students should be able to: 1. determine the concentration of coloured solution such as FeCl3 by using dilution and colour differentiating (colorimetric) techniques. 2.2: INTRODUCTION Concentration can be expressed in many different ways such as percentage volume and percentage weight etc. In laboratory‚ normally concentrations were expressed as molarity and normality. Molarity is the

conducted on 13th August 2008 in Machines Dynamics Laboratory. The experiment was conducted in groups of four‚ and was supervised by lecturer Mr. Mohd Azahari Johan. Conducting this experiment is for fulfilling the requirements of Applied Mechanics Lab (MEC 424). A pendulum is defined as body so suspended from a fixed point as to swing freely to and from by the alternate action of gravity and momentum. It is used to regulate the movements of clockwork and other machinery. Therefore‚ a compound

the period of oscillations to the length of the pendulum.Sources of error for this procedure included precision in both length and time measurement tools‚ reaction time of the stopwatch holder‚ and the accuracy of the stopwatch with respect to the lab atomic clock. The final result of g takes into account the correction for the error introduced using the approximation. There are opportunities to correct for the effects of mass distribution‚ air buoyancy and damping‚ and string stretching[1]. Our results

In this lab we tested the purity of water by looking for the chemicals free chlorine‚ chloride‚ sulfate‚ nitrate‚ copper‚ total hardness‚ iron‚ hydrogen sulfide‚ lead‚ pesticides‚ pH‚ total alkalinity‚ and total chlorine inside a water sample. The chemicals that produced a 0.0 result meant that there was no trace of that chemical inside the sample. The chemicals not found were copper‚ hydrogen sulfide‚ free chlorine‚ lead‚ iron‚ pesticide‚ and total chlorine. As a class we found the results of
