Document Summary

The earth is a water planet; water covers about 71% of the surface, most of which is salt water: salt water limits its usage and makes it more expensive. No species can do without water: 60% of the human body is water. Water sculpts the earth"s surface; changes the shape of the earth (soil erosion, soil movement, rain, etc) Water helps to moderate climate; more water = milder climate. Water contains minerals, ca, na, k, etc. needed by humans: pure water is not good, stripped of minerals which are needed (distilled water is bad to drink) Groundwater: naturally filtered, contains less organic matter, often does not need any treatment www. notesolution. com. Difference between contaminants and pollutants: contaminants are any agents that can be found in water, soil, or any medium in the air around you, don"t necessarily cause harm, pollutants always cause harm to our health.

hand near it.
23. T F Loose-fitting, long-sleeved shirts should be worn during experiments to protect your arms from
burns and chemical splashes.
24. T F If you must retrieve materials during a lab, it is acceptable to leave your Bunsen burner unattended
as long as it is set to a yellow flame.
25. T F To avoid an injury when heating materials, always place a stopper or tight-fitting lid on the
container being heated.
26. T F If a student uses the last of the chemicals in an experiment, it is their responsibility to go into the
storeroom to retrieve an additional quantity of that chemical.
27. T F Always leave your work area clean and dry before leaving the lab and make sure equipment and
glassware is returned clean to its proper place.
28. T F Horseplay is O.K. during a lab as long as no one is getting hurt.
