ENVR107 – Lab 9 – Mt Tolmie Fieldtrip
Thursday, March 18th 2010, ENVR107 students from Camosun College conducted a fieldtrip to the local park, Mt Tolmie (Lat: N48° 27’’ 23’ Long: W123° 19’’ 34’) in Victoria, BC. The aim of the fieldtrip was to get familiar with Ecosystem Field Form and accompanying field books (Handbooks 25 (White) & 28 (Red)). Read the rest of this entry »

CHEM121 – Experiment 2 – Preparation of a Standard Solution and the Analysis of an Unknown Acid.
Purpose: To use Xylenesulphonic acid (XSA) from Lab1 as a primary standard for the standardization of a sodium hydroxide solution, and use the sodium hydroxide to determine the weight of an acid that reacts with a ratio of: one mole sodium hydroxide to one mole of unknown acid.

Report – ENVR110 – A Study of the Relationship of Relative Humidity and Temperature
A Study at Camosun College, Lansdowne Campus of the Relationship of Relative Humidity and Temperature

Introduction:
Relative humidity is a ratio expressed as a percentage of the moisture in the air to the moisture it would contain if it were saturated at the same temperature and pressure (Oxford Concise Science Dictionary, 2006). The maximum amount of water vapor that can be contained in the air is dependent on temperature. A given volume of warm air can hold more water vapor before it precipitates than colder air can. Factors that influence relative humidity include: altitude, cloud cover, pollution, air temperature, regulated temperature in buildings and wind. Read the rest of this entry »

Report – CHEM120 – Determination of Water Hardness using EDTA
CHEMESTRY 120-02 2009-11-17
DETERMINATION OF WATER HARDNESS USING E.D.T.A.
Stefan Martensson C0347318
Lab Partner: Danielle
Procedure: Please refer to handout ‘Experiment #7’ and page 35-38, Chemistry 120 Lab Manual, 2009 Edition, Camosun College. Plus additional handout: Report and Calculation Guide.
Theory:
Hard water is water that has high mineral content (mainly calcium and magnesium ions). Hard water minerals primarily consist of calcium (Ca2+), and magnesium (Mg2+) cations, and sometimes other dissolved compounds such as bicarbonates and sulfates. Calcium usually enters the water as either calcium carbonate (CaCO3), in the form of limestone and chalk, or calcium sulfate (CaSO4), in the form of other mineral deposits. Hardness in water can cause water to form scales and a resistance to soap. It can also be defined as water that doesn’t produce lather with soap solutions, but produces white precipitate (scum) (Wikipedia, 2009). Read the rest of this entry »
