For this lab, zeolite and magnetized zeolite were synthesized and compared with charcoal to find out with would be the most effective in the sequestering of Procion Red dye. Finding the concentration and absorbance of each zeolite, magnetized zeolite, and charcoal, along with a calibration curve, the best adsorbent is determined. Charcoal was the overall best sequestration of the Procion Red dye, since the adsorbent was highest compared to the others. Introduction Pollution has increased in the environment over the years, so the purpose of this experiment is to find the best adsorbent of chemicals to reduce the pollution.
Experiment 1: Materials: • Alka-Seltzer tablets • Empty and clean water or soda bottles (12 oz to 24 oz) • Balloons • Water • Clock • Stove top Procedure: 1. Pour a sufficient amount of water (about 16 oz) into a small pot and place on the stove at high heat. 2. Watch the clock and after 30 seconds take the water off the heat.
The temperature probe was then quickly cooled to room temperature. When this was achieved, the hot water was immediately transferred into the calorimeter. This method of keeping the temperature probe cooled before measuring a new temperature was repeated throughout the entire experiment. Temperature data was collected for 180 s while swirling the temperature inside the calorimeter. The calorimeter still contained the warm water.

We are lined up from the 35 yard line to the 45, lying on the wet grass as if we are asleep. We are perfectly still, then suddenly we rise, kicking our legs in unison.
James McBride’s The Color of Water is a dual narrative of both his and his mother, Ruth’s, life. McBride weaves the tribulations of his mother’s childhood and adolescence with his own. And what is created is a memoir of lost innocence and necessary rebirth told through the lens of a white Jewish woman and a biracial man. Although McBride’s autobiography illustrates the beauty in facing adversity, there are moments at which those certain adversities are downright uncomfortable for the readers. Experiencing Ruth’s abusive childhood, McBride’s disillusionment with his life, and the crumbling household Ruth grew up in through this narrative is both powerful and painful; this “sometimes uncomfortable” content reminds readers that good and bad nuances
