Rationale
To test the ability of chlorine as an disinfectant while also suggesting an alternative to chlorine, in which is Silver Nanoparticles for our case.

Hypothesis
Chlorine water is ineffective in killing common harmful bacteria.

DAY 1Pre-Experimental Procedures
![Page 11: The Effects of Chlorine on Harmful Bacteria](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033106/56816455550346895dd620e6/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Water Collection
Water was collected using centrifuge tubes from the HCI Swimming Pool at the times of 7.50am, 2.30pm and 5.00pm.
![Page 12: The Effects of Chlorine on Harmful Bacteria](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033106/56816455550346895dd620e6/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Broth and Agar Preparation
For broth, 3.25g were displaced into a bottle and mixed with 250ml of de-ionized water.
For agar, 14g were displaced into a bottle and mixed with 500ml of de-ionized water.

DAY 2Preparation
![Page 15: The Effects of Chlorine on Harmful Bacteria](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033106/56816455550346895dd620e6/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Synthesis and Dilution of Silver Nanoparticles
1. 30ml of sodium Borohydride is poured into a small beaker. This small beaker is then placed into a larger beaker. Ice is placed into this larger beaker. Stir for 20 minutes.
2. 2ml of silver nitrate is then dropped into the sodium Borohydride. 1.28g of polyvinyl alcohol is then added into the mixture and heating is carried out.

Agar Spreading
Using our agar, the agar was displaced onto Petri dishes to half the Petri dishes height. They were then left to solidify for approximately 15 minutes.
![Page 17: The Effects of Chlorine on Harmful Bacteria](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033106/56816455550346895dd620e6/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Overnight Culture
1. 10ml of our nutrient broth was displaced into 4 centrifuge tubes each.
2. Then, using a bacteria streaking rod, bacteria was displaced into the tubes. The centrifuge tubes were then placed in the shaking incubator for 1 day.

DAY 3Experimentation
![Page 19: The Effects of Chlorine on Harmful Bacteria](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033106/56816455550346895dd620e6/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Dilution
1. Our aim was to reach 1 x 10-⁶ of bacterial dilution. We filled 6 centrifuge tubes each with 9ml of nutrient broth.
2. Using a micropipette, we displaced 1ml of the bacterial broth from the overnight culture into a centrifuge tube labeled 1 x 10-¹. This procedure was repeated on the tubes labeled 1 x 10-²to 1 x 10-⁶.
![Page 20: The Effects of Chlorine on Harmful Bacteria](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033106/56816455550346895dd620e6/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Bacterial Spreading
1. The plates were labeled accordingly to their content. Triplication was carried out. Also, 3 controls involving sterile water instead of silver nanoparticles or chlorine water was set up.
E.g.: First plate consisting of 2.30pm water will be labeled as: 2.30pm, C.Water, 1.
![Page 21: The Effects of Chlorine on Harmful Bacteria](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033106/56816455550346895dd620e6/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Bacterial Spreading
2. Next, according to the labels, 50 microlitres of bacteria and 50 microlitres of silver nanoparticles or chlorine water accordingly was displaced onto the agar dish with a micropipette. This mixture was then spread and sealed with Parafilm, before being kept in the incubator at 36 Degrees Celsius.
