    I will be arguing whether water remains the same throughout all three of its forms. Water is defined as “a colorless, transparent, odorless, tasteless liquid that is the basis of the fluids of living organisms.” One assumption about water is the different states of matter of water. Water is believed to have three states of matter; as a solid, liquid and gas. One state of matter of water is water as a liquid. Water in temperature varies from different bodies of water. It can be warm or cold. When

    Solids, Liquids, and Gases… What Are They? First of all, matter (mass, or anything that takes up space) stays in three state, which is solid, liquid, and gas; the fourth state is plasma (however this notion is more complex, and shall be learned later). Water follows the same theory as well.  A solid is considered a solid when its particles are tightly packed together. You can tell a solid is a solid because solids hold their shape, so they are incapable of flowing around, like a gas or liquid. For example

    your skin. Apply buttermilk on your brown spots using a cotton ball. Leave it on for a few minutes before washing the area with water. If you have oily skin or acne, you can also add some lemon juice to the buttermilk. Repeat either of these remedies once or twice daily until you are satisfied with the results. 3. Castor Oil Castor oil has strong healing properties and can be used effectively to get rid of brown spots or age spots. Along with castor oil, you can use vitamin E oil, coconut oil

    silicon oxides. This ash is commonly stored away in dump sites, only to leach out solutions of concentrated toxic heavy metals. Such issues are detrimental to the health of water systems, posing both a human and environmental health risk. However, there are solutions to this problem. Coal ash possesses unique chemical properties that allow for the remediation of other environmental concerns, such as the treatment of soil polluted with heavy metals, the removal of nutrients from wastewater, and the

    INTRODUCTION When cement is mixed with water in order to prepare concrete, the hardened concrete formed after hydration is not a solid mass but a porous material. There is formation of pores due to water which is initially added. Water occupies some fraction of the total initial volume and after the hydration of cement water is held physically, chemically or is adsorbed on product after hydration. This leads to formation of different types of pore structure inside the hydrated cement

    Properties of Gases General Chemistry 1 Lab 5 Abstract: The purpose of this experiment is to examine the properties of several gasses, which were the products of a reaction, and examine the way the gasses react under certain conditions. These conditions, such as introducing a flame to the gas as well as oxygen and CO2, caused other reactions to occur. Hypothesis: If the gasses are correctly synthesized then there will be a clear reaction with the introduction of the flame, O2, CO2, Air

    based on the property of hydrophobic and hydrophilic parts which involves the repelling and coordinating forces the amphiphiles are considered to be powerful building blocks and they aggregate to form great molecular assemblies like micelles or vesicles. The properties and structure of the assembly formed majorly depends on the structural design of the amphiphiles. For example natural phospholipids consist of one hydrophilic head and two hydrophobic tails. When they are diffused in to water they instinctively

    The more dissolved oxygen in the water the more fish they observed. 2. Develop a hypothesis relating to the amount of dissolved oxygen measured in the water sample and the number of fish observed in the body of water. - Having more dissolved oxygen increases the number of fish observed in the body of water. 3. What would your experimental approach be to test this hypothesis? - To test this hypothesis my experimental approach would be testing different bodies of water or testing one and just testing
