Determine the mass of excess water remaining in the alum product at the end of day one. If you hadn’t waited a week to determine the percent yield, how large would the error be in your calculation of percent yield? 1. The amount of excess water remaining in the alum product after one day, which was measured a week later, was 0.588g. If you hadn’t waited a week to determine the percent yield, the mass recorded would be greater than the dried alum due to the water content present. Since the greater

first thing you’ll probably notice about me is my big, paddle-shaped tail. It’s true, I can look a little wobbly when I waddle over land, but in the water, I’m as graceful as a fish. My special tail and webbed hind feet act like a rudder and fins to help me swim, and my soft, glossy brown fur is waterproof so I never get chilly, even in really cold water. And that’s important, because I need freshwater to survive. If I find a lake, pond, or river that looks like a nice place to live, I’ll just burrow

Fracking is a terrible business because it takes millions of gallons of freshwater to frack one well, fracking fluid could leak into farm fields and destroy the soil that crops grow in, and it can cause negative effects on human and animal health. Fracking or hydraulic fracturing is a newer way of extracting natural gas or oil locked away thousands of feet below the surface trapped in permeable shale rock. Freshwater is mixed with solids like sand and other fracturing chemicals. This creates fracking

to go to preschool, was ready to put his trunks on and jump in the water. Already potty trained and speaking like no other, I was ready to take on the chlorine water myself. Being excited as I was to jump in the pool, I dove into the three foot shallow end and bobbed my head up and down in such great enthusiasm. As a young boy, I was able to pick up swimming pretty quickly surprisingly. This was the first time that I touched water and would never stop ever since. Coming from a world of swimming,

“grassy” odor. It is not found naturally in the environment so people had to make it. If Phosgene is released in the air it can enter your body from contact with your eyes or skin and can be breathed in. If it is out into water people can be exposed to Phosgene by drinking the water or just by touching it (which I find to be very scary).

Four cecally-cannulated horses were utilized in a 4 x 4 Latin square to evaluate dosage levels of LIPC on the same opportunistic bacteria stated in experiment 1 and to evaluate cecal characteristics. Horses were randomly assigned to one of four treatments: 1) no LIPC, (0); 2) 15 g of 500 mg/g of LIPC, recommended level (15); 3) 25 g of 500 mg/g of LIPC (25); or 4) 35 g of 500 mg/g of LIPC (35). Horses were fed 2-3 lbs of Strategy® (Purina Mills, St. Louis, MO), once a day at 0600 and treatment was

fisherman. The bass are worn out from the rigors of spawning. Some fishermen are worn out too! From catching fish! During the spawning period the bass are somewhat easy to catch. Most of them are in the shallows. This eliminates ninety percent of the water you have to check to find fish. You only have a small number of tactics you have to try before you pattern the fish. The post spawn period is a whole new ballgame. When you go to the shallows to try for those easy fish that were there last week, you

The purpose for the experiment was to see if a planarian could retain information by classical conditioning and react to a flash of light when electricity was induced into the water. The results from the experiment indicate that more planarian were able to show a positive response than a negative response after regeneration. This conveys that planarian can retain the information needed to respond to a new stimulus that had been created (McLeod 2008). It was found that testing them over and over

Tires are used widely for artificial reefs. A tires composition means it won’t react massively to being underwater. Some forms of tires release small doses of chemicals after extended periods of time underwater. The tires would have to be in the water for much longer than what they are due to the removal now. The tires were filling up and
