Introduction Chemical oxygen demand (COD) is defined as the amount of a specified oxidant that reacts with the sample under controlled conditions. The quantity of oxidant consumed is expressed in terms of its oxygen equivalence. Because of its unique chemical properties‚ the dichromate ion (Cr2O72–) is the specified oxidant in Methods

If a plant makes 30 grams of glucose (C6H12O6)‚ how many moles of glucose has it produced? 0.17 moles The health of bones depends upon a good supply of calcium. If a person consumes 0.06 g of calcium‚ how many moles of calcium did he consume

waters‚ such as lakes and streams. Phosphates are essential to aquatic plant growth‚ but too much phosphate can lead to the growth of algae and results in an algae bloom. Too much algae can cause a decrease in the amount in dissolved oxygen in the water. Oxygen in water is affected in many different ways by phosphates Phosphorus is usually present in natural waters as phosphate(Mcwelsh and Raintree‚ 1998). Phosphates are present in fertilizers and laundry detergents and can enter the water from

Biochemical oxygen demand ( and COD) It is a measure of the amount of oxygen required by bacteria‚ algae‚ sediments and chemicals over a set period of time. BOD is of importance in aquaculture because microbial degradation of organic matter is a major sink for dissolved oxygen‚ a highly important parameter for

Oxygen Exchange and Transport Oxygen exchange or respiration takes place at a respiratory surface; a boundary between the external environment and the interior of the body. Gas exchange is the process by which oxygen and carbon dioxide (the respiratory gases) move in opposite directions across an organism’s respiratory membranes‚ between the air or water of the external environment and the body fluids of the internal environment. Oxygen is needed by cells to extract energy from organic molecules

OXYGEN-CARBON CYCLE The carbon-oxygen cycles are actually two independent cycles. However‚ both these cycles are interconnected as well as interdependent on each other to some extent. There are four processes involved in the completion of the carbon-oxygen cycle. Oxygen-carbon cycle processes are: * Photosynthesis Plants undergo photosynthesis that helps them produce energy and food for themselves. During photosynthesis‚ plants take in carbon dioxide (CO2) and absorb water (H2O) with the help

10.19.2011 TITLE: The Importance of Oxygen for Life PURPOSE: To determine whether test tubes filled with bacteria‚ a few salts‚ distilled water‚ and glucose would grow in the presence or absence of oxygen. By adding oxygen to certain tubes and withholding it from other tubes‚ one can determine which bacteria grow the most efficiently. HYPOTHESIS: The test tubes of bacteria with oxygen will grow and thrive over the test tubes without oxygen. METHODS: Using the data shown in Table 7-A-1

Cobalt(II) Oxygen adduct complex Inorganic 461 lab 2-29-2012 Abstract This experiment uses Co(salen) as a model compound illustrating the uptake of oxygen in hemoglobin. SalenH2 was prepared as the intermediate‚ and reacted with hydrated cobalt to prepare Co(salen). Using Co(salen) the oxygen up-take was tested. The synthesis of SalenH2 produced 0.65 g. The percent yield of salenH2 was 116% on the filter paper and 105% after transferring salenH2 to a vial. The melting point of salenH2‚ was
