Project overview:
|
For this project we were asked to make a project related to water that used our knowledge of chemistry. Some of the groups made hypothetical project such as getting food to grow in space or creating ideas to help third world countries get drinking water. However some groups also made new water filtration systems.

Content:
Solution:
- the process by which a gas, liquid, or solid is dispersed homogeneously in a gas, liquid, or solid without chemical change.
- such a substance, as dissolved sugar or salt in solution.
- a homogeneous, molecular mixture of two or more substances.
- the substance dissolved in a given solution.
- The dispersing medium of a solution.
- Forcing solvent molecules to flow through a semipermeable membrane from a concentrated solution into a dilute solution by the application of greater hydrostatic pressure on concentrated side than the osmotic pressure opposing it.
- Activated carbon, also called activated charcoal, is a form of carbonprocessed to have small, low-volume pores that increase the surface area available for adsorption or chemical reactions
- A measure of acidity or alkalinity of water soluble substances (pH stands for 'potential of Hydrogen'). A pH value is a number from 1 to 14, with 7 as the middle (neutral) point. Values below 7 indicate acidity which increases as the number decreases, 1 being the most acidic. Values above 7 indicate alkalinity which increases as the number increases, 14 being the most alkaline.

Conclusion:
Overall I enjoyed this project because it was very fun to work with my friends together on this project. At the beginning of this project it was had because it was a very open ended project and since we were given so much time it was hard to focus at the beginning. A high in this project was when we actually filtered our water and it came out substantially cleaner. One thing we struggled in during this project was, not allowing our filtration system leak. Overall it was a good project and we did find a way to filter water easily.
