Water Quality and Contamination Lab Report Abstract In the experiments inspected the effects of contaminants on three different waters and how the contaminants of vegetable oil, laundry detergent, and vinegar cooperated. The waters that were interactive were Dasani and Fiji bottled water and tap water. Out of the water added to the vegetable oil, laundry detergent, and vinegar, the water including in the laundry detergent was the most visible change. The water for each experiment in experiment

Final Lab Report Water Quality and Contamination Rachel Hewitt SCI207: Dependence of Man on the Environment Professor Andrea Van Gunst May 16, 2016 ABSTRACT All lab experiments were conducted in Windham, New York. The first experiment regarding water quality and contamination, used vinegar, liquid detergent and vegetable oil to contaminate tap water. The results of this experiment showed that when the water was contaminated and filtered through dirt some of the contaminates remained trapped

pollutants of water and examine contaminates of it as well. Body Paragraph # 2 - Objective: The lab was performed so we could investigate the effects of common pollutants on groundwater as well as mimic the filtration process utilized by wastewater treatment facilities. Body Paragraph # 3 - Hypothesis: Experiment 1 Hypothesis = I think that the bleach will filtrate and remove the contaminants because bleach removes contaminants. Experiment 2 Hypothesis = I think the tap water will contain the

Water Quality and Contamination Lab Report Kathryn Thomas SCI207: Dependence of Man on the Environment Instructor Joseph Fiedor October 6, 2014 Water Quality and Contamination Lab Report Abstract The water filtration process was examined using oil, vinegar, and detergent to show how well the process works. The watercolor, consistency, and smell would change allowing the difference to be seen. Different kinds of water were tested using test chemical strips to evaluate the chemicals within

Bottled Water There are many different kinds of bottled waters for sale in this modern day. Some bottled waters are carbonated, flavored, or have added chemicals for cleaning purposes. A twenty ounce bottle of water cost’s around one or two dollars. In reference to the water bill from my parent’s house in the town of Chesaning which is in Saginaw County the cost of water is three dollars and thirty cents for one thousand gallons of municipal water (Ebenhoeh D). Not only do bottled water companies

Water Contamination Sierra Holmes SCI 207 Dependence of Man on the Environment Professor John Gomillion June 14, 2016 Abstract The water treatment experiment gives insight on how water can become contaminated by everyday products such as vinegar, oil, and detergent which we tested by seeing how well the soil can filter the chemicals before it reaches the groundwater. We put the compounds through the treatment process which consisted of pouring each mixture of each chemical/water through

report focused on water contamination and filtration. Experiment 1 was effects of groundwater contamination. Oil, vinegar, and laundry detergent were added to clean water with no means of filtration. The clean water was found to be contaminated. A filtration system consisting of cheesecloth and 60 ml of soil was created and the contaminated samples were filtered through it. The soil and cheese cloth did not affectively filter the contaminants. Experiment 2 focused on water treatment and a filtration
