ECS 301 Lecture Notes - Lecture 1: Silver Nitrate, Null Hypothesis, Transect
Document Summary
Title: a study of chloride in waters of south florida. Intro: talk about sf, limestone, what he talked about in first leture background about geology, hydrology (rainfall, problems, salt water intrusion, pollution, water management) in south florida. Hypothesis: the purpose of this study is to to see if there are any trends related to. Chloride concentration goes up as you get closer to coast hypothesis example. Methods: collected water samples using sampling device, analyzed for chloride using silver nitrate method ***on google search chloride in waters odp (ocean drilling program) method will come up titrated. -difference we diluted it down and did it on 10 cc of water. Include in methods how we went through presentations. The calibration was grade based on whether or not we handed it in---get comments back and use to improve it for next time. Hypothesis: as you get closer to the coast, the chloride concentration increases. Null hypothesis: there is no change along the transect.
