Shortage of water in Arizona

i. Overview the problem in an introductory movement of one to two paragraphs of 6-8 sentences each. Explain why the issue matters. State your thesis at the end of your introductory movement, which means it would come at the end of the first or second paragraph. The thesis should include a mention of a problem in need of a solution. For instance, “The Ventura County water shortage can be mitigated by recycling sewage through a plant designed for this express purpose.”

II. Then, write a multiple-paragraph movement that defines the problem in some detail. Overview the concern shown by those with the means to effect change who have been acting on the problem.

III. In your next movement, propose your solution in equally clear detail. Your problem and solution movements should be of equal length.

IV. Analyze elements of the implementation process and its outcomes. This means examining details that most people might not consider, much less notice, to include possible short- or long-term possibilities.

V. Each body paragraph should be from 4-8 sentences, and most body paragraphs should include the following structure:
i. An opening topic sentence that supports your thesis.
ii. At least one sentence just after the topic sentence that supports the topic sentence with logic and evidence.
iii. Include a quote or paraphrase from one of your sources in the third or fourth sentence of at least five body paragraphs.

The paper should include both direct quotes and paraphrases, and cite at least seven different sources, all of which should be credible (don’t use Wikipedia, ask.com, Sparknotes, Cliffnotes, BrainyQuote, etc.).

v. A sculpted closing sentence of your own (not an outside source) that completes the thought of the paragraph.

VI. Finish with a closing paragraph of 4-8 sentences that offers a tonally appropriate call to action. A call to action is a statement claiming that a particular action ought to be done

Essay 2

Discuss the role of discretion in probation (or parole/ your choice). How could we make sure that discretion is used appropriately in meeting agency goals? In what ways are those on the extremes of both the enforcement, and also the treatment end of the spectrum, ill-suited for probation work? (Feel free to use “fake” names, such as “Joe Brick” and “Ed Burns.” In discussing these two extremes.) How, instead, do you think we should go about balancing these two somewhat opposing goals of enforcement and treatment to best serve the overall goal of crime prevention? Provide examples as appropriate.

What should this look like? How should we treat those who are already ensnared within the criminal justice system? What should be done to begin to repair the harms caused to individuals, to families, and to entire communities?

Society response to crime

Here is your chance to reimagine not only the way that our society responds to crime, but also how we might address and repair the damage that has already been done. First, consider how we should treat crime—both in terms of preventing it as well as responding afterward. What should this look like? How should we treat those who are already ensnared within the criminal justice system? What should be done to begin to repair the harms caused to individuals, to families, and to entire communities? Finally, consider what some of the first steps in moving toward your new system of justice might look like, and what some of the roadblocks or barriers might be. Do you think that we, as a society, can ever achieve the new system of justice you have envisioned? Why or why not?

THE BUFFER IN LEMONADE


Goals–

Learn how to use pH sensor and monitor changes in the pH of a buffer; observe the effects of buffering on the pH titration curve

Purpose–

The purpose of this experiment is to titrate the lemonade drink and the 0.010 M citric acid with a base solution of sodium hydroxide, NaOH and compare the pH changes in the buffered lemonade drink and unbuffered solution of citric acid.

Introduction
Buffers are solutions that resist a change in pH when small amounts of acid H3O+ or base OH– are added. Buffers consist of a weak acid and its conjugate base (or a weak base and its conjugate acid). Both components must be present in the solution at approximately equal concentration and in substantial amounts. A buffer resists pH changes because it contains both an acid to neutralize the OH– added and a base to neutralize the H3O+ions added. An example of a
buffer solution is weak acetic acid, HC2H3O2, and its salt sodium actetate, NaC2H3O2.
The dissociation of acetic acid in an aqueous solution is shown in equation

(1). HC2H3O2(aq) +H2O(l) ←⎯ç→ H3O+(aq) + C2H3O2 –(aq) (1)

The dissociation of sodium acetate in an aqueous solution is shown in equation

(2). C2H3O2Na(aq)→ C2H3O2–(aq) + Na+(aq) (2)

The buffer components are conjugate acid/base pair, HC2H3O2 and C2H3O2–
.
When a small amount of acid solution is added to the buffer, most of the H3O+ ions are consumed reacting with the acetate ions, to form acetic acid, equation (3). The equilibrium shifts to the left in the equation (1), decreasing added concentration of H+, keeping the pH constant.

H3O+(aq) + C2H3O–(aq) ←⎯ç→ HC2H3O2 (aq) + H2O(l) (3)

When a solution of a base is added to the buffer, most of the OH– ions are removed when neutralized by acidic component of the buffer, more acetate is formed, equation (4). H3O+ and OH– will form water, and the equilibrium in equation (1) shifts to the right, restoring the H3O+ concentration and keeping the pH constant.

OH–(aq) + HC2H3O2(aq) ←⎯ç→ H2O(l) + C2H3O2–(aq) (4)

The buffering capacity represents the effectiveness of a buffer to resist the large changes in pH when a base or an acid is added. The amount of the conjugate acid–base pair will define the buffer capacity. The greater the amounts of the conjugate acid–base pair, the more resistant buffers will be to pH changes. When the species capable of neutralizing acid and base added are exhausted, the pH will change drastically.

Buffers are very important in biological and chemical systems. In the human body, buffers maintain the pH of many bodily fluids. For example, the pH of blood is 7.35–7.40 and it is maintained by the carbonic acid–bicarbonate ions (H2CO3 /HCO3– ). pH changes larger than 0.4 can be fatal.
In the case when the excess of H3O+ ions enter the blood stream, the pH is maintained by the following reaction:

HCO3–(aq) + H3O+(aq) → H2CO3(aq) + H2O(l) (5)

The excess of OH– ions is removed by the reaction :

H2CO3(aq) + OH–(aq) → HCO3–(aq) + H2O(l) (6)

Buffers are used in food industry as part of various consumer products to help control the effects of varying pH. The lemonade drink used in this experiment uses a citric acid– sodium citrate buffer to control the pH according to its label.
In this experiment, you will titrate the two solutions (buffered and unbuffered solution) of citric acid with 0.10 M NaOH , monitoring pH using pH Sensor and plot titration curves as pH versus volume of the titrant NaOH.

Processing the data
1. To calculate the number of moles of NaOH used in both titrations, you will need the volume at the equivalence point and the molarity of NaOH solution.

Data and Results
Complete the data table below.
Include the raw LoggerPro data and the graph.
Data Lemonade Citric Acid
Concentration of NaOH (M) 0.10 0.10
Initial volume of NaOH, mL 100 100
Final volume of NaOH, mL 28.4 48.9
NaOH volume added before the largest pH increase (mL) 57 16
NaOH volume added after the largest pH increase (mL) 62 26
Results
Volume of NaOH added at the equivalence point (mL) 59.5 21
Moles NaOH (mol)

Discussion hints

1. Determine which solution, buffered or unbuffered reacted with more moles of NaOH when the equivalence point was reached?

2. Observe the graph of each titration. How does the titration curve of the buffered lemonade compare to the curve of the unbuffered citric acid solution?

3. What is the formula of citric acid and the sodium salt of citric acid?
