INTRODUCTION
Water quality control is essential to prevent potential health hazards that can have devastatingly
critical consequences on several thousands or millions of citizens of an urban area which can range from a town to a city. We have previously covered in one of our initial laboratories experiments that bacteria and silt are not only undesirable on an aesthetic scale, but also are the prime causation of turbidity in water. Filtration is a solution to help remove turbidity in water as we observed previously. However, this
technique is reliable only to a limited extent. Most turbidity can be removed by filtration but very small sized colloids that possess an electrical charge can remain. Colloids can only be removed through coagulation and flocculation. The electric charge is neutralized or weakened through coagulation. Coagulating chemicals such as aluminum III or iron III are the most efficient and ideal ones to use. The cations contained within the chemicals surround the charged colloid particles causing a reduction of electrostatic repulsion among the particles. Consequently, they merge. The process of coagulation ends here and so begins the process of flocculation which can be described as a physical process that can be visually observed. This latter entails the grouping of large aggregates or
flocs that form during a gentle mixing process in the post coagulation phase of the experimental procedure. PROCEDURE
Since we have 3 different coagulants to test, the class is broken into 3 groups so that each can test an individual coagulant. We are equipped with 2-liter beakers, syringes, and our assigned coagulant.
To prevent leaks from happening during the experimental procedure, it is important to make sure that the plugs located on the side of the beakers are safely sealed in the holes. Each beaker is filled with thoroughly mixed bentonite sample all the way to the 2-liter mark which can be found on the side of the beaker. This mixed bentonite sample is in a large bucket located in the back of the room. Using a pH meter, the initial pH is measured. Then, with the assistance of a hatch turbidimeter, the initial turbidity is also measured. On average, the numerical measurement acquired should gravitate around 28 NTU. All beakers are then placed and aligned on the experimental set up of the stirring machine. The light is turned on. We then use about six 50ml capacity syringes and fill them with the necessary amount of coagulant. Our group was assigned the coagulant known as ferric chloride.
Therefore, we filled each syringe with 10, 20, 30, 50ml and two additional syringes with 50 ml each for the beaker that will contain 100ml of coagulant. Once the syringes filled, each group member acquired a
syringe and was on standby for their assigned beaker. Next, the stirring paddles of the machine are lowered into the beakers. As soon as the stirring mechanism is activated and put on the fastest RPM, the
amount of coagulant contained within each syringe is added to its respective beaker. The rapid mixing process only lasts about 30 seconds. The speed of the stirring machine is then reduced to 30 RPM for a duration of 15 minutes. The stirring machine is then halted, the paddles are lifted, and the beakers are left to settle for an additional 15 minutes. We then collect samples from each beaker and measure the corresponding final turbidity and pH of each. All data is recorded and can be found in the tables in the results section of this lab report.

Three chains act on the bracket such that they create a resultant force having a magnitude of 500 lb. If
two of the chains are subjected to known forces, as shown, determine the angle of the third chain
measured clockwise from the positive x axis, so that the magnitude of the force F in this chain is a
minimum. All forces lie in the x-y plane. What is the magnitude of F? Hint: First find the resultant of the
two known forces. Forces F acts in this direction.

A three meter pipe squirts water out of tiny holes uniformly in all directions perpendicular
to the pipe (see figure), at a rate of 10 gallons/min. If the pipe is suspended 1 meter above
the lawn, about how many teaspoons of water will strike a 1 square inch patch of grass
directly below the pipe after watering for 1 hour? Ignore the deflection of the water stream

Camella Homes in Bacolod has a water reserve tank in the form of a sphere with 20 feet radius. The management discovered that a group of pranksters
poured a large amount of dye in the tank to make the water look contaminated. They decided that the tank must be emptied and cleaned. They punched a 12-
inch circular drain in the bottom of the tank. Given that the tank was initially full, how long will it take to completely drain the tank so that they can begin
cleaning.
