Trial 1
The dyed red water will not seep into the blue cold water.
My guess was indeed correct and red water did not interfere with the blue water. Because the molecules in the blue water are much closer together because its cold and well the red water has warm/hot water and the molecules are everywhere. The molecules in the blue water are so dense that they’re making a layer so that the molecules from the red jar do not come through. Trial 2
I think this time blue on top will fail and seep into the red. So my guess was correct again. The blue water did slowly enter the red water. The reason for this is because of density and how dense the cold water really is. That’s why when you put the cold water on top the molecules would want to sink towards the bottom of the jar which is basically the conclusion of Trial 2. Trial 3
I’m pretty sure that the green water will just drop completely into the yellow water. The conclusion did match my guess and the green water did quickly interact with the yellow water. Obviously the green water was much more dense than the yellow water because the green water mixed immediately with the yellow water, clearly proving the green water to be more dense. Trial 4
The Term Paper on Water Properties Hydrogen Molecule Heat
Introduction Water is an essential ingredient for the existence of life as we know it. Biochemical processes occur in aqueous environments, many of which use water. Water also plays a significant role in the process of photosynthesis (6 CO 2 + 6 H 2 O + 672 kcal -> C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6 O 2). Photosynthesis is the most basic and significant chemical reaction on earth, providing the primary ...
I do think that the yellow water will remain in it’s place. Again my guess’s results were correct the yellow water remained where it was. The green water that’s on the bottom creates a layer because of how dense the molecules are in it, therefore the yellow water is not allowed to mix with the green.
Analysis questions/answers
1.Q-Based on your observations in the lab, what do you think happens to the
majority of water (not ice) at the poles?
A-The majority of the water freezes because water is the only molecule that doesn’t sink, so the water becomes ice.
2. Q-Based on your observations in the lab, what do you think happens to most of the water at the equator?
A-The majority of water at the equator does not evaporate.
Certainly some of it does, but that is a huge amount of water were talking about. If the majority of it evaporated, then all the oceans currents would be straight towards the equator just to replace it. 3. Q-Thinking about what you learned in the lab and doing some additional research, if you mixed fresh and salt water together in the marine environment, how would the water “layer”? Where would the freshwater be and why? A- Salt water is more dense than fresh water, and therefore sinks under fresh water – which is exactly what happens in estuaries, which are areas near the mouth of a river where fresh water and salt water do mix.
4. Q- When fresh and saltwater mix in the marine environment, this is called an estuary, or brackish water environment. Why would bottom dwelling organisms in an estuary need to be able to withstand brackish water? A-Bottom dwellings in an estuary need to be able to withstand brackish water because fresh water in an estuary flows out over the surface and ocean water with higher amounts of salt flows in on the bottom
5. Q-Based on your lab and readings, what two characteristics of water combine to form a thermohaline current? A-In the deep ocean, the predominant driving force is differences in density, caused by salinity and temperature (the more saline the denser, and the colder the denser).
The Essay on Freshwater Inflow Estuaries Water Fresh
The Keys To Unlocking Transitions in Water When examining waters transition from fresh to salt as well as from salt to fresh one quickly finds the importance of estuaries. In terms of geology, present-day estuaries are young and ephemeral coastal features. Today's estuaries began to take their current form during the last interglacial period, when sea level rose about 120 m (Braun 36). However, ...
Note that ocean currents due to tides are also significant in many places.
