Percent Water in a Hydrate PURPOSE To determine the percent water in a hydrate sample. INTRODUCTION Many substances contain water molecules as a part of their crystal structure. We call such solids hydrates‚ and we call the bound water the water of hydration. A hydrate has a definite number of water molecules bound to each anhydrous salt unit. The formula of the hydrate copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate is CuSO4 · 5 H2O The dot indicates that the molecules of water are attached to the ions in

The man-made lake was constructed for the purpose of producing hydro-power and as a navigation project‚ but now its purpose has evolved to include wild-life habitats‚ water quality‚ and general recreation.

CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY 1.1 Introduction Water is a very important resource‚ it is one of the most vital natural resources for all life on Earth‚ water is a unique and clear liquid without it life is impossible. Water occurs on earth in 3 physical states; which are solid‚ liquid and gaseous state and in form of rain‚ snow and ice and it forms rivers‚ lakes and seas. Water covers about 71% of the entire earth surface‚ yet despite its abundant deposit it is not readily

Sacramento tap water reveals ion concentrations of various different dissolved minerals such as calcium (Ca2+) and magnesium (Mg2+). These concentrations are a result of mineral deposits in local lakes and rivers. Perma Pure‚ a gas conditioning products manufacturing company‚ simplifies the mechanism of ion exchange by explaining that water is a solvent that dissolves most ionic bonds when exposed to compounds ("The Mechanism of Ion Exchange"). Therefore‚ as tap water passes through rocks it will

Alisha Prakash Biol 111-513 The Properties of Water; Osmosis and Diffusion Hypothesis: When animal and plant cells are placed in a solution‚ the movement of water is effected by the solute concentration of the solution. If animal and plant cells are placed in a more concentrated solution‚ the solution becomes hypertonic to the cells‚ causing water to exit the cells. This changes the appearance of the cells‚ causing the cells to look darker (more concentrated) and shriveled up. Null Hypothesis:
