Water Chemistry by Dave Ropa https://padlet.com/dropa/kwy404hba9ze Explain details for each water chemistry test en-us 2018-05-09 13:34:34 UTC 2026-03-20 12:54:28 UTC hello@padlet.com Dissolved Oxygen dropa https://padlet.com/dropa/kwy404hba9ze/wish/259272137 -Dissolved Oxygen is the level of oxygen in the water

-the colder the water the more oxygen is supposed to be in the water 
Oxygen can be produced by plants. 

How else does oxygen get into water? By photosynthesis, the air water interface and through wave action]]> 2018-05-09 13:39:19 UTC https://padlet.com/dropa/kwy404hba9ze/wish/259272137 Carbon Dioxide dropa https://padlet.com/dropa/kwy404hba9ze/wish/259272232 -Plants use co2 in photosynthesis 
-A colorless, odorless gas produced by burning carbon and organic compounds and by respiration. It is naturally present in air (about 0.03 percent) and is absorbed by plants in photosynthesis.

How does carbon dioxide enter water?
Through the air water interface.
Decomposition. at a certain point the air/ carbon dioxide infuses with the water. Dead animals decompose and turn into the water

-You use the clarity tube 
Transparency is how light passes through water]]> 2018-05-09 13:39:40 UTC https://padlet.com/dropa/kwy404hba9ze/wish/259272315 Nutrients dropa https://padlet.com/dropa/kwy404hba9ze/wish/259272397

-Nutrient pollution is the process where too many nutrients, mainly nitrogen and phosphorus, are added to bodies of water and can act like fertilizer, causing excessive growth of algae.

Nutrients can run off of land in urban areas where lawn fertilizers are used. Pet and wildlife wastes are also sources of nutrients.

Chloride can be bad. If there is too much, 
Target level for Lake Mendota is 45 mg/l or parts per million (ppm)
chloride is mainly caused by salt, which comes from salt runoff on the road

some are good, some are bad
More algae in water means that more carbon dioxide is used from the atmosphere and more oxygen is released into the atmosphere

a simple nonflowering plant of a large group that includes the seaweeds and many single-celled forms. Algae contain chlorophyll but lack true stems, roots, leaves, and vascular tissue.
Algae goes through photosynthesis 

Algae will block out all of the sun and eliminate the plants, the plants go through decomposition and take up all the oxygen, then the fishes dies

Anything less than 7 (<7) is acidic
Anything over 7 (>7) is basic 
Stands for parts hydrogen
