    Introduction For this experiment, the test of hardness of water is crucial and the water hardness refers the existence and amount of the dissolved divalent cations Ca2+ and Mg2+ (some other polyvalent cations included) in the chemical properties of water. (Thompson 2014) The reason that the hardness of water is quite important is because the hardness of water is the determination and the measurement of the quality of water and high-quality water is critical for human and even for other living species

    Physical Quality in nutrisari, there are 3 main parameters to maintain physical stability: 1. Water and Crispness The relation between water and crispness is that the more aw in the food products, then the less crispness in it. In this case, as we talk about nutrisari (dehydrated juice) the water and crispness parameter has no interaction for the product as it is not one of the parameter for nutrisari. 2. Water and Stickiness, Caking and Collapse In dehydrated juice, caking is categorized as a problem

    In “Between Wind and Water” choreographed by Anastasia Waters, I think that the choreographer was exploring the abstract idea of vulnerability and the fear that accompanies being vulnerable rather than the physicality of wind and water like I had first thought. The origins of the phrase between wind and water is the description of the vulnerable part of a ship that could be brought above the water by the force of the sea and if damaged the waves would sink the ship. I think this because of the serious

    Water is a transparent fluid that makes up the bodies of water on the planet Earth and is a major vital constituent of the life on Earth. Water covers 71% of Earth’s surface, but the amount of freshwater is only 2.5% of this amount of water, and 98.8% of the freshwater is in ice and groundwater. Less than 0.3% of the entire freshwater is comprised within streams, rivers, lakes, and the atmosphere (Gleick, 1993). This scarce fluid has been used for a variety of human uses, such as agriculture, drinking

    organisms in the ocean and are removed from the water. Others are not used up and get left for long periods of time where their concentrations increase over time. Ocean water and fresh water are two different types of water for example salt water is made during the movement of water on land over time and fresh water contains only small amounts of salt.The components of rocks are broken down and become a part of a “salty” resolution. Ocean water has characteristics similar to freshwater

    Water normally freezes at 0°C, however this temperature reading is widely dependent on the substances that are present in the water. When dissolving a substance in water, the freezing point will be lowered, meaning that the temperature has to be colder in order for the water to completely freeze. This is called, “The Depression of Freezing Point”. Many foreign substances, such as alcohol, sugar and salt, can interrupt the balance of melting and freezing water at 0 degrees Celsius. This has a direct

    Water is everyone in the world and this is the major reason why many individuals never think about the limited supply of water. People presume that the water supply is infinite.

    Average global temperatures have risen 0.6°C in the last century (Walther, 2002). Warmer water temperature has been shown to kill fish such as trout (Huntsman, 1942) North American summers are predicted to become warmer and drier. The effects of climate change are predicted to have more impact in freshwater than in the ocean. Salmonid fishes will potentially be strongly affected by the predicted climate change. Water temperature effects the rates of biochemical reactions in fishes that are ectothermic

    “Water is colorless, transparent, odorless, tasteless liquid that forms the sea, lakes, rivers, and rain and is the basis of fluids of living organisms.” The source of water is from meteorites that are still falling to the surface of Earth. Many of those meteorites contain quantities of water in crystal lattices. When they melt, the water is released. (Some Basics of Water and the Hydrosphere) Humans need water to survive on Earth, so we created bottled water and tap water. Humans drink water every
