Candle In A Jar Experiment

105 Words1 Page

Based on several pieces of data it is now understood that when you remove pressure, volume rises. The data that supports this claim is the Candle in a Jar experiment. In this experiment, you pour water into a plate, light a candle, place it in the middle of the plate, then cover it up with a cup. The flame uses up the oxygen in the cup and it creates low air pressure. The pressure outside tries to push in. The water at the bottom makes an airtight seal and this causes the water to raise until the pressure is the same as the outside pressure.

    This lab’s end result was to correctly identify each unknown solution using prior knowledge of chemical properties and the results of the first experiment conducted. Unknown solution D was the only colored solution, being blue while the others were clear. This made it easy to then match D up to Copper Sulfate because of its color. As unknown A and B were added together, lots of gaseous bubbles formed and revealed the fact that that reaction was the reaction between Hydrochloric Acid and Sodium Carbonate because it was the only reaction that produced a gas release. Unknown A and C produced the only yellow, brown precipitate just as the reaction between Sodium Carbonate and Silver Nitrate had previously.

    Sammy clearly exhibits a lack of respect for his elders, judges everyone who walks into the store, and blatantly makes sexist remarks about the three girls. He focuses on their bodies rather than their personalities and views them only as objects. “A little buzz like a bee in a glass jar” seems to describe Queenie’s thought process for Sammy; however he makes this narcissistic judgment before getting to know her (Updike). This culmination leads to Sammy’s immaturity which results in him quitting his job. By the remarks made throughout the story, the readers are lead to believe that Sammy does want more out of his life than a clerk job at a store and he has the desire to move up the socio- economic ladder.

    The Gummy Bear experiment illustrates osmosis, a type of diffusion involving the movement of water molecules through a semi-permeable membrane. The gummy bear represents the semi-permeable membrane. The area inside of the gummy bear had a higher solute concentration than the area outside of the gummy bear, so the water was moving. In situations like this, water tries to move from an area of high water concentration (or low solute concentration) to an area of low water concentration (or high solute concentration). The water moves around until it achieves an equilibrium.
