    1. Figure 1 shows the heating phases that occurred during the experiment. There is an exponential decrease in temperature as the depth of the water increases. Water has a high specific heat capacity which means that it can resist changes in temperature. This is coupled with the fact that solar radiation progressively loses its penetrative ability as the depth of the water increases. The light attenuation in lakes describes the decrease in actual light that can penetrate a water column as well as

    calibrated by just weighing the water they deliver. As for volumetric flask, the weight of an empty flask is recorded. Next, weigh the flask after filling it with water to the mark. After that, it is crucial to convert the mass to volume. The water density at a temperature will aid this process. The compliance of the Volume Occupied by 1.000g of Water Weigh in Air table is deemed necessary throughout the comparison. In order to obtain the true volume of volumetric glassware holds, this formula will

    THE OSMOREGULATORY ABILITY IN PHASCOLOSOMA LURCA AND UCA COARCTATA Abstract Phascolosoma lurca (P. lurca) and Uca coarctata (U. coarctata) species and their organs were examined and studied to determine their osmoregulatory ability using the density of extracellular fluid (ECF) as a measure of ionic and osmotic concentration. Body fluids are denser than water which has a specific gravity of 1, plus solutes. Through the examination of the two organisms, P. lurca is an osmoconformer and U. coactarta

    permeability of the mortars was evaluated according to Thenoz method (Pereira and Camarini, 2011). Cylindrical specimens (50 mm diameter and 100 mm height) were prepared and cured at room temperature for 28 days (average temperature of 25 °C ± 2 °C and relative humidity of 60%). Before testing, the specimens were cut into three parts and the central part (50 mm height) was used in the test. The slices were oven-dried at 50 °C ± 2 °C for 48 h and after cooling they had their lateral surfaces sealed to guarantee

    General Chemistry 1 Lab 1: Laboratory Techniques and Measurements Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to ensure that students are able to understand how to conduct measurements of length, mass, temperature, density and volume using different measuring devices. Students will also learn how to dilute substances by using simple algebra. Procedure: 1. Prepare a data table similar to Data Table 1 shown below. 2. Choose any three objects that are shorter than the metric ruler to measure, such

    immersed object. If the force of the liquid on the object is greater than that of the object on the liquid then the object will float. In other words buoyancy is dependent upon the density of the liquid and the volume of the object submerged. Buoyancy: Fb= d*g*V Where Fb= the magnitude of the buoyant force d= density of the liquid, g= force of gravity (9.8 m/s^2), V= volume of the submerged object All object displace fluid when in a liquid,

    it, equal to the weight of the air displaced by the balloon. Since the balloon is both containing air and floating in air, the weight of the air inside the balloon is the same magnitude as the buoyant force. Filled balloon has a higher apparent density compared to empty balloon. IF you dangle 2 pieces of paper vertically a few inches apart and blow between then, how do you think the papers will move? The papers will move toward each other. Bernoulli’s principle says that as the speed of the gas

    lava lamp

    Introduction A lava lamp (or Astro lamp) is a decorative novelty item, invented by British accountant Edward Craven-Walker in 1963. The lamp contains blobs of colored wax inside a glass vessel filled with clear liquid; the wax rises and falls as its density changes due to heating from an incandescent light bulb underneath the vessel. The appearance of the wax is suggestive of pāhoehoe lava, hence the name. The lamps are designed in a variety of styles and colours. The underlying fluid mechanics phenomenon
