...Is the filtration of groundwater important? Charity Palmer SCI 207: Dependence of Man of the Environment Instructor Holly Dust July 27th 2014 Abstract Industrialization and increasing demands on agriculture around the world is rapidly polluting our ground water. The human population depends on ground water as our biggest source of drinking water. A few simple experiments have been done to find out what changes some of the contaminants cause in the ground water. Samples of tap water and bottled water were analyzed for safety. Chemicals such as oil, vinegar, and liquid detergent cause odor changes and color changes in the water samples. Using sand, charcoal and rocks formed a filtration system that was used to simulate how water is filtered. Tap water turned out to be the safest water to drink, which was rather surprising. The tap water had less contamination than the bottled water during the experiment. Introduction Clean water is a major necessity for our lives. Three-quarters of the Earth’s surface is covered by water making clean water for drinking and cooking an important issue. The majority of water on our planet is comprised of salt water found in the oceans. That leaves only three percent of the water on Earth freshwater. (Dale 2011) Human beings used 69.3 gallons of water per individual each day on average. (Dale 2011) Water is used to do our laundry, wash our cars, feed our pets, water the gardens and lawns we have. Water is used for us to take...

...the intentions that they will start working at the organization within a month. With the start date quickly approaching, Mr. Robins discovers that the new hires are not prepared to begin employment. Most of them do not have all required documentation and none of them completed the mandatory drug test. Mr. Robins needs to contact all new hires immediately, in order to complete all prerequisites needed to finalize their application process, on time for their start date at ABC Inc. Additionally, Mr. Robins should seek extra training on the new hire application and training process. Background Mr. Carl Robins is a new recruiter to ABC Inc. and has been employed with the company for about six months and just experienced his first recruiting attempt.

Right after the Memorial Day weekend, Mr. Robins discovers that the new hires are not ready to start on June 15 after looking through their files. Some applicants did not have applications completely filled out and some had their transcripts and all but three orientation manuals missing. He also noticed that all applicants did not take the mandatory drug test. Additionally, he finds that the orientation room is booked throughout June. Key Problems Key problems are that the new employees are unprepared for the June 15 start date and which is a couple of weeks away. The recruiter has a job to ensure that the...

...1. Since all of our tests are open book/open note, the better organized your notes are, the better. If you get a study guide from the instructor, it's a good idea to make a flash card for each topic. On the card, highlight the topic, not the chapter page in the book where you can find the information, then put the relevant information on the card as well. This will not only give you a good study tool, it will also give you a great test taking aid. 2. Since you are taking the test at home, you should definitely take it under the same conditions you study under. For example, if you have the TV or music on while you study, don't try to go totally silent when you test. If you listen to specific music while studying, listening to the same music while you test can help you recall information more easily and more quickly. Have a quick snack/drink on hand with your notes so that you can stay focused. 3. Before you even open the test, take 2-3 deep breaths and tell yourself that you KNOW this stuff! You have it in your head, in your notes, and in your text. 4. Once you start testing, read each question carefully. Often when doing this, we get an idea of what the answer should be, then it's just a matter of picking the right option. 5. For multiple choice questions, there are a couple of strategies you can employ: * Read carefully through all of the options. Usually you will be able to eliminate at least two of them right away, leaving you with only two options...

This is done by adding Sodium Hydroxide to the Cation in question. If a precipitate forms, more Sodium Hydroxide should be added to see if the precipitate dissolves. Soon after, if a white gelatinous precipitate forms, another sample of the salt solution was put in a salt solution was put in a test tube and then dilute ammonia solution was added. If, after that a precipitate forms, more dilute ammonia solution was added to see if the precipitate finally...
