Name: Date 20 points Applying Scientific Methods Your Earth science class is conducting an experiment to determine the salt concentrations in an estuary, a place where a freshwater river flows into the salty seawater of an ocean. You have been told that in the inland portion of an estuary, the less-dense river water overrides the denser seawater. 2. Would the method described in question 1 provide a precise measurement of the ratio of river water to seawater in the estuary samples? Describe why or why not? You have collected seven samples of water from different locations in the estuary. You have also collected a sample of pure river water and a sample of pure seawater. You make concentrated samples by boiling each estuary sample until it is reduced to 250 mL. Then you fill seven test tubes halfway with each concentrated sample. Next, you make reference samples in seven more test tubes. The table shows the contents of each reference test tube. Study the illustration and table and answer the questions that follow. Test Tube Percentage of River Water Percentage of Seawater 1 100 0 2 80 20 3 60 40 4 50 50 5 40 60 6 20 80 Page 5 Period 1. Knowing that river water is usually brownish in color and seawater is clear, analyze how you could use the river water/seawater samples to determine the composition of the estuary water samples? 3. What property of seawater might you use to determine the actual ratio of river water to seawater in the estuary samples? Explain your answer with details on this property. 4. Would you expect the concentration of salt to be the same or different in each estuary sample? Explain your answer. 5. How might estuary samples taken from deep water affect your results?
