H2O


Everyday we see the same whose name the water, what water ?
Water (H2O) is the most abundant compound on Earth's surface, constituting about 70% of the planet's surface. In nature it exists in liquid, solid, and gaseous states. It is in dynamic equilibrium between the liquid and gas states at standart temperature and pressure. At room temperature, it is a nearly colorless with a hint of blue, tasteless and odorless liquid. Many substances dissolve in water and it is commonly referred to as the universal solvent. Because of this, water in nature and in use is rarely pure and some of its properties may vary slightly from those of the pure substance. However, there are many compounds that are essentially, if not completely, insoluble in water. Water is the only common substance found naturally in all three common states of matter and it is essential for life on Earth. Water usually makes up 55% to 78% of the human body.

pH meter



Lacking a pH meter, water is pH-tested by adding chemical agents to a water sample. Depending on the agents used, a bright yellow result could indicate highly acidic water; blue, neutral; and deep brown, alkaline water. Hues are interpreted as positions along the scale.
Liquid pH tests can be messy and they do require some guesswork as to the reading. Conversely, a pH meter is a digital device with a connected glass electrode probe. The probe is placed into the water to be tested, and the pH of the water is digitally displayed. It takes mere seconds and is far more accurate, assuming the pH meter has been properly calibrated.

Alpine Skipper


My first task tomorrow is to collect butterflies
About Alpine Skipper
The Alpine Skipper is found throughout the Indo-Australian region. This includes New Zealand, Australia and southern Asia. In the early stages, the caterpillar is greenish-gray striped. It feeds on sedge which is a grass-like plant that grows in wet places. The butterfly is dark brown on the top side of the wings with yellow-orange spots. The underside of the wings are mainly yellow with a brown spotted pattern which provides camouflage when the butterfly is feeding from yellow plants.
