During our water filtration lab, we were instructed to design our own water filters in order to filter out as many particulates and living organisms to make the dirty pool water as pure as possible. Our water filter test consisted of a 2L soda bottle that we cup the top off and inverted to make a funnel. We then built our filter bottom up, starting with a rubber banding a coffee filter to the bottom as a final catch-all for the finest particles. In the nozzle of the bottle we stuffed 2 cotton balls
The aim in this experiment is to estimate the Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) from the renal clearance of creatinine. In doing so, a graph on absorbance versus concentration of creatinine has been made to measure the GFR. On the y-axis is the absorbance meanwhile x-axis is the concentration of creatinine. The standard curve and best fit line is drawn to obtain a linear function between absorbance and the concentration of creatinine. The result shows that the absorbance value increases linearly to
Restate Question & Hypothesis Testable Question: How does particle size affect the rate of infiltration? Hypothesis: If there is a rock sample in the funnel, then the water will drain at a slower pace because the rock will block the water from draining quickly. Evaluates original hypothesis using data Based on the collected data, my hypothesis was correct. In trials with the rock sample, the water took more time to drain. This can be seen in the difference between trial 1 of the control test and
Task 1 M1 Describe the scientific principles behind each of the three procedure above. Vacuum filtration is a procedure when a sold needs separating from a solvent to react the mixture. Then the mixture of a solid is measured through the filtration paper in a Buhner funnel. The liquid is drained through the funnel into the flask. Equipment • Filter paper • Buhner funnel • Tubing • Clean solvent • Disposable dropper Method 1. When carrying out this scientific technique you first need filter
a mixture between gravity and vacuum filtration. Which vacuum filtration had 11% loss while gravity had only a 7% loss. It was determined that pure benzoic acid had a melting range of 122.9-124.4 oC while impure benzoic acid had a melting range of 83.4-86.3 oC. The unknown compound 1 was determined to be palmitic acid through mixed melting point theory. Introduction: The first goal of the experiment was to perform a gravity filtration
determine the content of phosphorous in this water soluble fertilizer. The overall goal of Gravimetric Analysis is to form the precipitate MgNH4PO46H2O and isolate it from the aqueous solution by vacuum filtration. In order to obtain the precipitate, a series of dissolution reactions and vacuum filtration were performed. First, Miracle Gro was dissolved with DI water and reacted with activated copper to remove coppers ions in the fertilizer. After copper ions were filtered, approximately 15mL of .5M
Abstract In this lab we separated a mixture to observe the methods of separating substances from one another using a series of techniques. In this lab we used magnetism, filtration, and evaporation to successfully separate the mixture into three separate components. Throughout the experiment we learned that mixtures are two or more substances combine and each substance retains its own properties and chemical identity. Purpose The purpose of this lab is to recognize the different techniques in separating
that the Asiatic has a higher filtration than the native in the algae concentration. In the first 5 minutes in the algae, the Asiatic clam filtered 0.045 abs/g more than the Native clam. By 10 minutes, the Asiatic clam filtered 0.05 abs/g more than the native, and by 20 minutes the Asiatic clam filtered 0.03221 abs/g more than the Native. These results indicate that the Asiatic has a higher filtration than the Native clam. Similarly, the Asiatic also had a higher filtration rate in the bacteria than
When taking proper care of freshwater Angelfish it is important that the aquarium owner understands the basic needs of these fish. The fish keeper should be familiar with aquariums, water quality, water oxygen levels, water temperature and water filtration. Understanding the basics of these topics will help an aquarium owner to maintain a healthy aquarium environment that will encourage breeding. It is important that the home aquarium is adequate size hold the Angelfish. Young Angelfish need plenty
proper filtration. The keeping of fish in an aquarium became a popular hobby and spread quickly. But as a general guideline, bigger is better. If you buy a larger aquarium than you think you need at first, it gives you room to add more fish later, if you choose to do so. The larger aquarium will also have more water, which
entertainment, such as swimming, pleasure boating, boat racing, surfing, sport fishing, and diving. Hotels is one of the major users of water and part of the management duty is to maintain water’s cleanliness and safety, for attaining this hotels use water filtration system to filtrate and purify the water that came from the water sources which they will become safe to the guests. According to MetroWaterFilter Hotels and restaurants need clean and safe water to provide to the guests. Hotels also should meet
thoracic legs. The particles are then transferred to their mouth groove to be ingested. D. magna typically feed on planktonic algae (Ebert, 2005). The following experiment uses algae to test what affects the feeding rate of D. magna. The rate of filtration
Problem 2: Obtain a $2 million funding for a project that failed twice Internal analysis Causes The Filtration Unit has not launched any product that succeeded in 5 years. The company loses $6 million annually because of the unit. Moreover, the team faces many difficulties. They are affected by two failures on a promising project. Since they are not productive enough, they lose trust from the other managers. In addition, the residential irrigation mini-oxidation system (RIMOS) is a new product that
Period 8 Title: Separation of a Heterogeneous Mixture Research Question: To determine separation of a heterogeneous mixture by the process of filtration. Introduction: In chemistry, separating mixtures are used to do identify many things. When separating mixtures, some properties must be taken out in order for the mixtures to separate. An example of this would be like what we did in our lab. In
effective in reducing cholera outbreaks. The authors objectives were to find a simple method that could be used without much training to reduce the incidence of cholera. Hypothesis: The authors’ hypothesis was that if a commonly used and simple water filtration system was used to lower the amount of the waterborne copepods that are linked with Vibrio cholerae from surface water taken for daily use, the occurrence of cholera would decrease dramatically. Background: The scientific community already knows
water source and filtration system. Due to some overlooks within the filtration system and visibly discolored, "dirty" water citizens began to investigate whether the water was safe or not, making some shocking discoveries. Water is essential for everyday life and is crucial for people to have access too, but when that water is clearly contaminated and unsafe, many problems arise. When Flint switched water supplies they went from lake water to river water and switched filtration plants, causing many
Nations, where only a portion of the population remains. The other portion leave, because of the large amounts of poverty and the isolation. This First Nations Community has been under a water boil advisory for over 20 years. Their current water filtration system hasn’t worked since 1995, and even when it did work it removed sand and grit, but left in harmful chemicals. The government gives the Neskantaga people $250,000 annually, which goes towards running a water treatment system that continuously
allowing asbestos to settle down Then take the supernatant and pour into gooch crucible and apply vacuum on the other side through filtration flask, a layer of asbestos will be formed on the sintered disc. Dry the gooch crucible in an oven at 105 °C and then cool it in a desiccator and weigh it (W1). Fit this gooch crucible on a filtration flask and connect filtration flask to vacuum pump. Take 25 ml sample and diluted
The difference in this chemical and physical properties will aid in their separation. Processes like solubility, gravitational filtration and recrystallization will be used to separate the substances present in Panacetin. The melting and boiling point of the substances will help in concluding on which of these compounds will be presented at the end of experiment. Procedure and observation The Panacetin content was weighed approximately 3.0493g and transferred to the Erlenmeyer flask; 75ml of dichloromethane
