w00t! Eutrophication (1 Viewer)

[mon_mon]

Hey, anyone who contributed to that thread on Eutrophication in the Chem room a few days ago will be so chuffed! i was the only one of my school who knew what the thing was. i image its the same elsewhere.

 

[iambored]

a lot of people at my school didn't know what it was either

 

[mon_mon]

pretty stupid to have such i minor thing worth so much. like i would have had no idea. its ocvered in about 3 sentences in our textbook, CC.

 

[iambored]

i just realised i actually posted that thread! i forgot, i didn't even come back to check the answers! well the answers were the differing definitions i had, which in essence are the same

 

[+:: $i[Q]u3 ::+]

it was about the tests as well.. which is why it was worth so much.

 

[mon_mon]

lol. it actually degenerated into a conversation about the water on school ovals.
So you didn't miss much.

haha... well.. it started out with good intentions.

 

[mon_mon]

it was more the fact that the subject was there. it made me go and check it out.

 

[Constip8edSkunk]

meh ...I completely filled the page, borders margins and all, including using "*" and "**" and "#" to make extra references at the top of the page lol... so much work for only 4 marks.... wasted heaps of time meh

 

[mon_mon]

lol. it was an odd one to have so many marks for.

 

[t-i-m-m-y]

it only goes to show that u need to know every dot point thats all

 

[skool_angel]

by the way
wat testes do u use to test for nitrates and phosphates?

 

[crazylilmonkee]

did we have to write how the tests were carried out??
i didnt..

 

[Takuya]

Fuck that question.

 

[Constip8edSkunk]

dunno, i did anyway just in case...like mb blue method, kjeldahl back titration, and the other colorimetry one

what did ppl say for the evaluate the relevance of the tests or whatever the q said?

i talked boutcertain tests measures effects or signs of eutrophication, like DO, BOD, turbidity etc and tests measuring causes like N and P concentrations and stuff and how the latter is more important cuz prevention is better than cure or sumfin

 

[vegeta_316]

Yeah same. I too mentioned the DO and BOD tests for nitrates and phosphates.
Was the N ratio 10:1 if you mentioned it??

 

[hellohello]

i said that eutrph. is a long procedure and the tests offer insight into possible areas that my undegoe eutro.

tests BOD and N

i was like fuck this... when in doubt, chuck in Ion Selective Electrode, so i did... >.< might fuck that one up...

 

[hellohello]

u didnt need to discuss the procedure only how useful it was!!!!!!

 

[spark]

Argh.. I lost marks everywhere. All i talked about was using evaporation and filtration, however a conductivity meter would have been better and AAS for low concentration of common ions etc and that these methods would be useful in monitoring eutrophication.. LOLOL. Could you tell I was grasping at straws?!

Shit. What a shandas.
