How would results be written to the question of how vinegar effects plant growth?

I would probably do it by making a chart.\n\nYou should have atleast two plants (one control and one that was watered with vinegar), or for a good experiment, you should have more than two plants, one control and several other plants watered with differnt concentrations of vinegar.\nI would make a chart [and/or graph] of the growth progress of each of the plants by day/week/... based on what concentration of vinegar each was watered with.

A similar question has been asked on Google Answers, however it examines the amount of the heavy metals in algae, not the effect ON algae. \n\nThe link is:\nhttp://answers.google.com/answers/threadview?id=428511\nThe title of the journal article is:\nHeavy Metal, Total Arsenic, and Inorganic Arsenic Contents of Algae Food Products\n\nC.

vinegar is a solution of acetic acid (9% in water). Acetic acid (CH3COOH) is a weak acid that disolve rust (FeOOH according ones or Fe3O4 according another ones)\n\nSo, a soluble salt is obtained: (CH3COO)3Fe

How about you find out what an abiotic factor is? Then you tell us what the answer is, and then we'll tell you why you are right or wrong. How's that sound?\n\nDon't expect other people to do your homework for you, especially when the questions are this simple. It's dishonest and you learn nothing. \n\nYou also get incorrect answers such as the one quirkgirl just gave.

I would just talk about way plant and animal cells are constructed like cell walls and stuff. And talk about differences in how they make energy like animals burn sugar and plants first make sugar themselves. I'm sure that could be used to discuss nutrients issues.

How much time do you have?  If you have a few weeks....\n\nGet 5 of the same type of plant.\n\nMake sure they all have the same conditions.  Same type of soil/amount   Same amount of light/temp.  If using lamps, make sure they get the same amount of lamp time.\n\nThe goal is to keep all conditions the same aside from the one variable you will be testing... \n\nSo on to the variable.  Pick 5 different substances that you will give them for fluids... IE...\n\n1. Water  2. Soda   3. Bleach   4. Miracle grow or other plant food mixxed with water.   5. Orance juice.\n\nOkay.  Water will be your control group.  You will use this as a base line to compare all of the others to.  You can of course pick whatever you want for fluids. Those are just some ideas pick whatever fluids you want.  Always make sure to have a control group (the one with water) so you have something as a base line.\n\nGive them all 25 milliliters of the subtance each day. The amount you give them depends on what plant you pick, and its size, adjust accordingly. Make sure to feed them at the same time each day.\n\nBefore you start, write down your hypothesis.. \nHow do you think each plant will do? and why?\n\nTwice a week write down how the plants look.\nHow much they have grown.\nThe plants overall health.\nAlso, write down anything else you have noticed. i.e change in color, a plant dying.  \n\nThen compare it with the plant just getting plain water.  It is doing better than the control?  worse?  same? \n\nAt the end of each week make a theory on how you think the plant will do over the next week.\n\nMake sure to factor out all variable, and keep everything aside from the substance they get the exact same.\n\nWhen done with the experiment write a conclusion.  Was your hypothesis correct? What were you right about? What were you wrong about? How did each plant fair?  What could you have changed to make the experiment more accurate??  Did you do anytyhing wrong? ie mistakenly change something?  If you repeated the experiment, do you think the results would be the same? why or why not?\n\nMake sure to fully explain all of your statements. Charts or graphs of the results are always nice.\n\nThis would work the best if you started them from seed, but you prob don't have that kind of time span.  \n\nIf this is to childish of an experiment, maybe do a plant stem grafting experiment, or a cross-pollination between plants of the same species. i.e make a hybrid plant from 2 differnt types of tomatos or different flowers.

Citric acid is triprotic so you have the ratio you need already written.  You last + sign should be an arrow and you are making salt and water from there.  To do the calculation you already have what you need from the reaction.  YOu need data as far as the amount of apple juice and concentration and amount of base.

You can see if it include starch, by putting iodine on it and seeing if it turns black. I found an article where they make vinegar by fermenting it, thi sis a cottage industry in the Phillipines. So it must have sugars in it as well.

How about an experiment to see whether talking to a house plant really stimulates its growth. Is it the words or is it the carbon dioxide from his breath?\n\nYou need two sets of plants that are identical. You need one to be exposed (by loudspeaker) to the sound of his words and the other to have him up close and breathing on it while talking.

Plants have no ears to hear and no brain to process or develop musical taste or music appreciation...so any attempts to show relationships between music forms and growth or other responses have met with total failure in the hands of true scientists. This explains the lack of literature for you to read on the subject. Yes there are some quack "scientists" who have claimed that certain kinds of music caused improvements in plant growth...but no such claims have met the rigor demanded for publication in respected journals. Such projects are often labeled "pseudoscience" because they fail to explain the control of critical variables, nor do they specify replication levels, nor do they show actual data or the results of statistical testing.\nThere really is not much good information about the effect of music on plants because all attempts to do controlled studies on plants and music result in "no difference". Any "differences" between a music treatment and a no-music control (or other-music treatment) in pseudoscience studies can almost always be attributed to some difference in other variables in the project which have not been suitably controlled (light, water, fertilizer, soil type, humidity, etc.). So, as for the TV shows and trade-books, not all "science" is good science. Beyond seismonasty in species like Mimosa pudica described below, there are no articles on musical appreciation or musical tastes of plants in reputable science journals. Some trade books and even some educational texts and software have given projects on musical appreciation by plants more respectability than is deserved. These are good examples of "not everything you read in print is to be believed." It is possible for a plant to respond to the vibrations accompanying sounds. A short bibliography at the bottom of this page gives you some references...but to almost "nothing to report." I emphasize again that while there ARE responses to sound/vibration in plants, there is NO controlled study published on the MUSICAL TASTES or MUSIC APPRECIATION by plants in reputable journals. One plant that responds to sound-induced vibration is Mimosa pudica, also known as the "sensitive plant." Vibrations induce electrical signals across the leaflets of this plant, and cells at the base of the leaflets respond to these action potentials osmotically. This response results in a sharp change in the turgor pressure in these pulvinus cells, and that pressure change, in turn, results in the folding of the blade at the pulvinus. Another pulvinus at the base of the petiole may also respond if the vibration is severe enough. This kind of response is known as seismonasty.How would this plant respond in terms of growth if its leaves were kept closed by constant vibration? If you think very long about photosynthesis in leaves as the driving force for growth, you will realize that continuous leaflet closure would inhibit rather than stimulate the growth of the plant. Indeed loud sounds (vibrations really) have been reported to negatively impact plant growth .If the experiments are conducted in a scientific way then study will not be pseudo science.

There is a really good read on plants called 'The Secret Life of Plants' it has been such a long time since i read it so i can't actually remember that well but plants respond to music in the findings of the book, so yes it would have a possible effect.

When I was in 9th grade we did a plant project. I bought two small plants that were the same. One of the plants I left it in the sun watered it everyday and took good care of it. The other we put it in a dark place and also watered it everyday and also took good care of it. I did it for two weeks. Everyday I would make an observation of the lenght of the plant and the leaves it dropped and wrote it down. Then on a posterboard I did 4 large graphs. Two of the graphs were the length it grew each day for each plant. And the other two I graphed how many leaves would fall out of each plant. And when I presented it in front of the class I brought both plants and my conclusion of the project was the affect the sunlight has on a plant. It really hopes that works. By the way I got an A+ on it.

I don't really know, but usually when you're dealing with a coefficient/a ranking based on a known parameter, you have to use a standard item against which to measure. So things like specific gravity are based on an accepted level, and phenolic compounds would be measured against plants widely known to have a certain level.
