Category: Chemistry Experimental Question: How does the temperature of the environment affect the growth of crystals in fudge? Hypothesis: If crystallized fudge is cooled under two different temperatures, then the lower temperature will grow bigger crystals than the high temperature, because solubility in cold temperatures is lower. Why fudge was chosen: Crystals form in igneous rocks, and this experiment was chosen to explore the sizes of crystals formed under different conditions. The topic was decided upon because crystals are formed under extreme conditions, and it would be helpful to know under which conditions do they grow the largest. The information would be helpful to know because if anyone decided to grow crystals on their own, they …show more content…
From what is understood, magma cools to form rocks in the same way as fudge cools to form crystals. The fudge placed at room temperature took longer to form and did had more noticeable sugar crystals in it and had a more grainy texture, while the fudge placed in the refrigerator had less sugar crystals and had a smooth texture. Since the formation of rocks is similar to the formation of crystals, the hypothesis was that if crystallized fudge is cooled under two different temperatures, then the lower temperature will grow bigger crystals than the high temperature, because solubility in cold temperatures is lower. (Procedure)In the procedure, the fudge took about 45 minutes to an hour to melt, mix, and cool before it was placed in the bread pans. Once in the pans, each portion was placed where it was going to cool: one in the refrigerator, one sitting out at room temperature. The pans stayed in their respective cooling spots for five to six hours, until they were both completely cooled. Then, the fudge was cut open and results were …show more content…
The results of each trial did not vary much. The fudge in each category was all close to the same size. However, in trial three, the size of the crystals seemed slightly bigger than in the first two. The size of crystals in trial one for the room temperature cooled fudge was approximately 1 mm. But, in trial three the size was approximately 0.8 mm. The crystals in the refrigerator-cooled fudge did not show up in trials one and two, but in trial three they were noticeable. It was hard to tell differences between trials one, two, and three for the refrigerated fudge because they were too small of crystals to
First test, Morphological of Unknown consists of multiple of subtests. First subtest was used to determine the optimum temperature of unknown #398 growth by inoculation into 2 nutrient agar slants.
A lot of lesson in this experiment, one is that people like different flavor of gum for different reasons, and two not all Gums are the same. Our possible source of error is that we could
In the second portion of this experiment we will keep the temperature constant and divide the ½ tablet of Alka- Seltzer into 2 pieces ,3 pieces and an unbroken ½ tablet. It is my belief that Alka-Seltzer
Mesa Verde is most well known for its cliff dwellings found in the sandstone of its dynamic landscape. The Mesa Verde National park was originally established for the main purpose of preserving these very same archaeological sites. Without the geology of the area these dwellings might never have come to be, or preserved so splendidly. While it has many different geological formations on the property John Carrara states that “The Mesa Verde is essentially a broad, flat, upland surface sloping gently to the south and dissected by deep canyons containing ephemeral streams.” (Carrara 2014) The majority of the rock formation found in the park were formed from sediments from the crustaceous age (Carrara 2014) .
Stuff Matters: Delicious Some people say that eating chocolate is better than kissing. Studies have been conducted showing that the sensation of melting chocolate is far more intense and long lasting than the brain activity measured while a couple kissed. What is it about chocolate, that makes it so pleasurable to consume? What it is about chocolate, that allows it to go from a solid to a liquid?In the chapter Delicious, Midownik discusses the process, properties, and structures for one of the most popular food/flavors in the entire world, chocolate.
After the time has passed they let it sit five or ten minutes until all the moisture has been absorbed. Then my mother fluffs it with a fork and serves
Pop Rocks and soda have a very interesting chemical reaction with each other. Soda is a very pressurized drink that has carbon dioxide in it. Carbon dioxide is a pressurized chemical. When it is shaken, it fizzes, and causes pressure, and overflows releasing the carbon dioxide. It is similar to the Pop Rocks.
A chocolate chip cookie is a childhood favorite treat because of its chewy, gooey chocolate interior and its crispy exterior. As the cookie dough bakes in the oven, delicious smells waft through the kitchen and the baker can tell that the cookies are baked to perfection. However, when someone is a child, he/she does not realize the science behind a perfect chocolate chip cookie. Each ingredient in a cookie or any other baked item has a specific purpose. Bakers are like chemists because a baker needs the correct ingredients and ratios to create the baked item just as a chemist needs the correct chemicals and ratios to create the reaction.
The cookie taste really good. They had a sweet buttery and chocolate taste and they was warm. The edge of the cookie had a crunch to them was and the middle of the cookies was soft. After the cookies set out for a while the cookies got a little harder but they were still
About the ‘Molten Chocolate Cake’, it places in the center of the plate and perfuse with cacao powder. It tastes very soft with chocolate sauce. As a personal view, brownie is better because of the
There were two quick freezing methods which were developed. Both methods included packaging the food beforehand. In the first method, the package of food would be placed between two metal belts which were at -40°F to -45° F with the use of calcium chloride solution. The second method of quick freezing is a more popular technique.
Uncontrolled Environmental conditions Atmospheric conditions The controlled variable Concentration of amylase was kept under control by measuring the amount of amylase used and also it was made sure the percentage of amylase used was 1%. The Amount of amylase/starch used were kept to 5cm3 at all times. Materials needed Beakers Bunsen burner Test tube Thermometer Stopwatch Test plate Glass rod Starch Amylase solution Water bath Iodine solution. Test tube holder Labels Marker Procedure First 5 test tubes were taken and labeled with numbers from 1 to
Also, salt is an ionic compound and not a polar covalent compound, even though it did not melt last, due to the fact that the elements Na and Cl, both lose or gain an electron and then bond because of their opposite charges, which is a property only ionic bonds possess. The wax was the only substance whose results were synonymous with my hypothesis, since it required a low temperature for its melting point and was not soluble in water, both properties of nonpolar covalent compounds. Potential sources of error included not labeling the spots each substance was placed in the aluminum foil boat, seeing as the result for sugar seemed to be the correct conclusion for salt and vice versa. A future experiment would involve individually testing each substance in an aluminum foil boat, of the same brand, on a heat plate in order to avoid uncertainty. Each substance should be timed to record the precise time each substance began to melt or burn.
He found that elaborate of cookie can make the cookie different like soft and chewy cookie versus crispy and thin cookie. The recipe is also can make cookie difference like sugar most of cookie recipes are sugar, but the brown one should use
The research question is relevant to the experiment as the aim of the experiment has been considered. The aim of the experiment is to test the foods mentioned in the research question to find the presence of glucose, proteins and fats. The data will be recorded by observing the chemical changes occurring.
