5. My Hypotheses are… H 1 Bromine will have a higher efficiency than chlorine at removing microbes in ballast water. H 2 In the samples treated with both chemicals, the sodium thiosulfate will detoxify the bromine, and the treatments will show no differences from the control. Question Q 1 What was the lowest concentration of bromine that would remove microbes from ballast water?
6. Experimental Treatments 10 ppm bromine 10 ppm bromine with Na 2 S 2 O 3 30 ppm bromine 30 ppm bromine with Na 2 S 2 O 3 10 ppm chlorine Time 0 Control Control with Na 2 S 2 O 3 1 ppm bromine 1ppm bromine with Na 2 S 2 O 3
