Water pH Lab

Look at your graph…

• What does it show you?

Seawater has a BUFFER!

• What is it?

• What causes it?

• How is seawater different from fresh water?

pH Buffer System

• If acid is added (sewage output/volcanic activity)

• If alkaline solution is added

Photosynthesis?? Respiration??

Ocean Acidification

Ocean Acidification Lab & Case Study

• Bring a water sample tomorrow!

Videos!

Dissolved Oxygen (DO)

Seasonal DO variation –what could cause this variation?

CASE STUDY—THE DEAD ZONE

Marine Issues--Homework

NOAA Dead Zone Video4 min

•Eutrophication—

•Hypoxia—

•Dead Zone—

• Online Map Activity

• What waterways connect to the Gulf? 

• What smaller waterways connect to those?

• What natural processes could be contributing to water quality degradation and the development of the Gulf dead zone?

Make a Hypothesis

•  What anthropogenic activities or materials could be contributing to water quality degradation and the development of the Gulf dead zone?

Turbidity

Measuring turbidity

Taking a Secchi Disk Reading Using a Turbidity Sensor

Turbidity

• 1. average salinity of seawater_____• 2. average pH of seawater________• 3. range of pH in seawater___ to ___• 4. instrument to test seawater salinity______• 5. type of bond between water molecules____• 6. type of molecule water is:___________• 7. area in the ocean with drastic change in

salinity___________• 8. area in the ocean with drastic change in • density____________• 9. What type of graphs do we use to show changes as

you go down in the ocean?_______• 10. What units do we use for salinity?_____

Magic numbers!!!!!!!!

Salinity –avg 35 ppt

DO –avg 5 – 6 ppm

(2ppm hypoxic; 0ppm anoxic)

pH –avg 8 (7.5 – 8.4)
