and what did anyone get for the water quality multiple choice question??!
dunno what letter it was but it was the one with high turbidity & BOD and low pH, the cleared farmland would cause lots of erosion and their fertilizers would up the BOD, and decomposition of the organic matter would generate co2 and increase acidity

I talked about direct measurements from ozonesonades attached to hot air balloons or high flying aircrafts, which measure the ozone concentration directly. I did this because the results given in the table were in Dobson Units and the ozonesonades measure in Dobson units directly.

I'm devastated there's no back titration or any hard calculations in core... (minus the K in option)

what was the answer to reliability in MC? i said to test different pond sites from same place because my teacher said simply repeating experiment will improve measurability of reliability but not actually improve reliability

i said same ponds, cause the experiment was for the one pond site, another pond site would just be a whole new experiment

yeah this is what i put i think, i think there was a past physics question i think that asked a similar thing about improving reliability and the correct answer was repeating it, even though it only really tests reliability

i chose burette, the "transfering into a solution of known volume" kinda gave it away
