Lab 2 – Water Quality and Contamination

Abstract In this lab, the water quality, contamination, and treatment were investigated. The ability of contaminants (oil, vinegar, and laundry detergent) to remain in the water after passing through the ground was examined. Also, the simple filtering procedure was assessed for its effectivity in purifying water contaminated with soil. The quality of tap water, Fiji, and Dasani bottled waters by the content of ammonia, chlorides, iron, phosphates, total alkalinity, total chlorine, total hardness, and pH was analyzed and compared. All of the studied contaminants proved to remain in the volume of water after passing through the soil; the proposed ...

Introduction

Christina Rossetti’s poem, “Goblin Market,” is allegorical in the sense that it is an extended metaphor in which key social fears of the period are expressed. Rossetti sets her characters against the lures of the world, which in this case are represented by the goblin men and their fruit. Children are voyeurs who are always analyzing and watching. Rossetti features two main children characters and contrasts their response to the lures. Against these lures or temptations, Laura succumbs, while Lizzie is headstrong. One may argue that the poet uses character foils to contrast the characters, Lizzie and Laura. ...

Abstract

In this experiment, two calorimeters were designed and assembled. One was made using Styrofoam cups and another one using glass and foil. The calorimeters were studied for their performance in keeping the heat of the system. They were studied by measuring the heat loss of hot water over time. The heat lost in each calorimeter over 30 minutes was calculated. The calorimeter made of glass worked better and less heat was lost in it. The assembled calorimeters were used to find out the heat of reaction between NaOH and HCl per one mole of water. This value was found ...

At first glance the women in Arthurian Myths appear to be passive and unassuming but later it is revealed that there is more to the story. This paper will look at the women of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, and Morte D’ Arthur. In Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, the three female characters are Guinevere, Lady Bertilak and Morgana Le Fay. The first woman we meet is Guinevere and she is the embodiment of a confined woman. She is described as “moving gaily among them, taken her place on the dais, which was adorn with silk sides ...

Influence of Temperature and Neurotransmitters on Heart Rate in crayfish

TA for the Experiment: Introduction The cardiovascular system achieves key physiological functions in animals. Particularly, crayfish (Procambarus clarkia), also known as freshwater lobster, have been used to study physiological processes. This is because it is easier to study them in this species than in any other organism. In Crayfish, the circulatory system is open. Blood moves from the heart through the arteries and goes back through the open sinuses. Their heart is located in the cephalotorax, in front of the first abdominal segment, in the dorsal portion. Basic heart rate beat and rhythm in adult crustaceans depends on a ...
