Freezing Point Depression of Sodium Chloride and Water

Freezing Point Depression of Sodium Chloride and Water

Freezing point depression is a phenomenon that occurs when a solute is added to a solvent, causing its freezing point to lower. In this practical investigation, we will explore the freezing point depression of water with different concentrations of sodium chloride (NaCl) and measure its impact on the freezing point. The experiment will involve preparing 50ml solutions of sodium chloride in water and measuring the temperature when the solution freezes over a range of salt concentrations from 1g to 20g per litre.

Investigating the Solubility of Different Substances in Different Solvents

Investigating the Solubility of Different Substances in Different Solvents

Solubility is the ability of a substance, known as the solute, to dissolve in a solvent to form a homogenous mixture called a solution. The solubility of a substance depends on the chemical nature of both the solute and the solvent, as well as external factors such as temperature, pressure, and the amount of solute or solvent. Substances that dissolve readily in a solvent are considered to be soluble, while those that do not are insoluble. Understanding solubility is important in many fields, including chemistry, biology, and environmental science.

Research Task: Dialysis and Kidney Transplants: A Comparison

Research Task: Dialysis and Kidney Transplants: A Comparison

Dialysis and kidney transplantation are two of the main treatment options for patients with kidney failure. The kidneys play a vital role in filtering waste products from the blood and regulating the balance of fluids and electrolytes in the body. When the kidneys fail to function properly, waste products and fluids can build up in the body, leading to a range of health problems. Chronic kidney disease, diabetes, hypertension, and other medical conditions can all contribute to the development of kidney failure.
