It is important to identify the difference between physical and chemical properties. Physical changes typically about physical conditions of matter. Chemical changes take place at atomic level when nuclear bonds are either broken or formed. Chemically Seawater is a mixture of some salts and water. Six elements and compounds make out 99% of sea salts which are chlorine (Cl-), sodium (Na+), sulfur (SO4-2), magnesium (Mg+2), calcium (Ca+2), and potassium (K+). The relative abundance of this salts in seawater are constant regardless of the ocean. Seawater also contains small amounts of dissolved gases. These gases are added to seawater from the atmosphere through the stirring of the sea surface by wind and waves. The concentration of gases that can be dissolved into seawater from the atmosphere is determined by temperature and salinity of the water. As temperature and salinity …show more content…
The density of seawater generally increases with decreasing temperature, increasing salinity, and increasing depth in the ocean. Density of seawater at the surface of the ocean varies from 1,020 to 1,029 kilograms per cubic meter. Fresh water freezes at 0.0° Celsius while seawater freezes at colder temperature depending on the concentration of the salts. At a salinity of 35% seawater freezes at about -1.9° Celsius. Sea ice normally contain less salts than liquid water because the molecules of the various salts do not fit well in the highly orderly molecular structure of frozen water. Studding the chemistry as well as the physical properties of water is important before carrying out any purification process since this processes include the use of chemicals usually. In industry the use of water is unlimited and it is involved in many processes. Identifying the chemical and physical properties of water is then an essential. The process of producing drinkable water by desalination is an
These results a somewhat inaccurate due to the fact that when the solutions were actually freezing is difficult to tell. Some solutions froze slowly and showed a plateau, while others
Graham Salisbury, author of Blue Skin of the Sea, left a lot of hints and did a little bit of foreshadowing to help develop the characters. For example, on page two, it shows that Sonny is scared and not confident which he did, in fact, grow to be a little on the scared side. “When I didn’t move he made chicken sounds yelling ‘buk-buk-bu-gock!’ and pretending to flap a pair of wings. Another example is about Uncle Harley fro page 21, “Dad would never bet a hundred dollars unless he knew he could win.”
Summer Reading Essay: The Color of Water James McBride turned out to be a very good man although his outside influences growing up would encourage the opposite. Growing up with more than one father figure in his life and many older brothers and sisters sent his life spiraling out of control but eventually came to a calm and quiet hault. A father is someone who is supposed to teach his son to be a man; not every man has the same beliefs or teaching, so having many different views in and out James’ life was probably hard to balance. The many men that took on the role of his father as he went through life had major effects on him and made him who he is today.
The substance or substances can convert into different substance or substances as a result of a chemical reaction. Some common indicators of a chemical reaction we discussed in class are, color change, forming of new substances, and energy being released, A physical change is when the original substance is still the same substance after the change. However, the physical form of the substance can be changed. For example, paper can be ripped into small pieces, the paper is still the same material but the form of it is different. An example from one of the reactions is when baking soda and acetic acid were mixed.
The Color of Water, by James McBride, is about his journey to find who his mother is and who he is. It talked about problems between different races and between jews and society. Many of the events that the characters went through are relatable and heart breaking. The Color of Water is a heart-touching story.
Award winning author J.K Rowling is quoted saying, “You will never truly know yourself or the strength of your relationship until both have been tested by adversity.” This quote directly relates to The Color of Water: A Black Man’s Tribute to His White Mother. Throughout the memoir, James McBride illustrates his mother, hardships, including being abused by her father, being widowed twice, and overcoming adversity to raise twelve collegiate children. The Color of Water by James Mcbride, retraces his mother’s life as well as reveals his own as he travels through the shadows of his own life in Red Hook, Brooklyn during the time period of black civil rights.
Alka-Seltzer is something that when it gets put into water it has a chemical reaction because it starts to bubble up and when it starts to bubble up the bubbles are carbon dioxide gas. Chemical reactions start when matter is mixed with other matter, you can recognize new compounds by their color or by their acid levels or how a compound looks, feels, or how it acts. Substances create a solid compound. The chemical reaction also happens from more products and properties. They can have one or more products or properties.
Arctic ice reflects 80 percent of the sunlight back into space. As sea ice melts there will be more sunlight hit the ocean which increase the temperature of the ocean and cause raise of sea level. Satellite observations show that Arctic sea ice concentrations have significantly decreased over the last 25 years. Submarine observations also suggest that the Arctic ice pack has thinned dramatically in the last 20 to 30 years. As the sea ice melts the sea level increase.
As the top layer of water tries to freeze the salt gets in the way. The total number of water molecules captured by the ice per second goes down, therefore the rate of freezing goes down. The melting occurs faster than the freezing because it is not affected by the salt. Other foreign materials can also melt ice. Salt is commonly used on roads because it is cheap and easy to obtain.
Marine organisms are animals, plants, and other living things that live in the ocean. A Marine biologist is a scientist who studies marine organisms and studies the bodies, behavior, and the history of marine organisms. They also study how marine organisms interact with each other and their environment. I have chosen to research about Marine biology because I would like to learn about sea life, the ocean, and its surrounding environment. To start off, a Marine biologist might study coral, crabs, fish, microscopic marine organisms, sea stars, seaweed, squid, or whales.
The first ever desalination plant, which was used, was in United Sates of America during the mid-20th century (1955). How Do Desalination Plants Work? There are many desalination techniques; the thermal distillation, reverse osmosis and many more. Thermal distillation is one of the processes that make desalination (removing salt from sea water) possible.
The topic of this research paper will cover over Ocean Acidification and the effects on marine ecosystems. Ocean acidification is the decrease in pH levels of the Earth 's oceans, due to overbearing carbon dioxide being brought by the atmosphere. The carbon dioxide is drawn by seawater, where the chemical reactions take place, which minimize the pH levels in the ocean, the carbonate levels and the important calcium carbonate which these sea creatures need. When carbon dioxide disperses in this ocean, it causes the levels of acidity to rise towards the the surface, where most shell growth in marine animals have been stopped and has created the cause of reproductive disorders in multiple fish. Part of the problem with ocean acidification is human activity.
The ocean… The sound of the waves applauding and hugging the shore. The internal sounds of the body out in the world’s biggest swimming pool. The echo of my sister’s laughter. The salty smell so strong that one can taste it dancing on ones taste buds.
INTRODUCTION Water is a transparent and nearly colorless chemical substance that is the main constituent of Earth 's streams, lakes, and oceans, and the fluids of most living organisms. Water plays an important role in the world economy. Approximately 70% of the freshwater used by humans goes to agriculture. Fishing in salt and fresh water bodies is a major source of food for many parts of the world.
It includes physical, chemical and biological processes to remove the contaminants to produce usable and environmentally safe water. (Wikipedia, n.d.) Also, it is used to be economical and practical in order to pursue the Philippines’ campaign to water conservation. One of the largest consumers of water are malls. It houses a wide scale of stalls, food chains, clothing store, etc.
