Do Sports Drinks Have More Electrolyte Than Orange Juice Lab Report

632 Words3 Pages

Question Do sports drinks have more electrolytes than orange juice? Variables Independent Variable: Type of Liquid Dependent Variable: The conductance of the liquid Controlled Variables: the amount of liquid, multimeter and supplies, temperature of the liquid, room, and supplies Hypothesis If I measure the conductance of each liquid, then the sports drink will have the greatest current, and the greatest amount of electrolytes. Materials Digital Multimeter Three Alligator Clip Leads 5 feet (1.5 m) of bare, 24-gauge, copper wire 9 Volt Battery 9 Volt Battery Clip 1 kΩ resistor Disposable Plastic Straw Scissors 8 Bowls Masking Tape (Labels) Permanent Marker Distilled Water at Room Temperature Tap Water at Room Temperature Sport’s Drink (I used Gatorade) …show more content…

Place your conductance sensor into the distilled water. Make sure the straw is completely covered in the distilled water. Read the current displayed on the multimeter and remove the conductance sensor immediately. Record the reading into your notebook. Remember to record your readings in microamps. Set the multimeter to the 200 mA range. This is needed to record higher current values in more conductive liquids. Place the conductance sensor into the tap water and record the current in mA. Tap the conductance sensor onto a paper towel and then dip in into the three distilled water rinses. Place the sensor in the sports drink and measure the current. Record the current in units of mA. Tap the sensor dry, and then dip the sensor in tap water, then in the three bowls of distilled water. Place the sensor in the orange juice and measure the current. Record the current in your lab notebook. Rinse the sensor in the tap water and then in all three distilled water bowls. Repeat steps 1–13 in the "Measuring the Conductance" section two more times to obtain a total of three measurements for each liquid. Average the current measurements of the three trials of the

    Our original question was what is the effect of different types of water on an Alka Seltzer tablet? What we were measuring was which type of water will make the tablet dissolve the quickest. Our hypothesis was the salt water would dissolve it the fastest, then the pond the second, and tap would take the longest. The results ended up being that the tap water would dissolve the tablet the fastest, then the pond water, and the the salt last. Our three controls are the amount of salt, the amount of water, and the size of the tablet.

    Introduction The purpose of this Lab was to identify the density of the unidentified object and determine what substance the unidentified object given by the teacher was. The density calculated in the experiment will stay the same because the density of the unidentified object will stay constant. The Independent Variable of this experiment was the calculated density and the unidentified object given. The Dependant Variable for this experiment was the density.

    To do the temperature and dissolved oxygen tests, stick the probe in the water, and it will show numbers. One will be the dissolved oxygen in ppm (parts per million) and the other will be the temperature of the water. To do the pH test, stick the pH paper in the water and compare the color it turns to the scale. To test nitrates, put clear water in a container and dirty water in another, and put powder in them. Shake them and then compare the color they turn to the scale.

    Dissolved Oxygen is another thing we tested for, that 's how much oxygen gets mixed within the water ( Ex. rapids - the white part of the rapids is the oxygen mixing with the water- .) We also tested how fast the water was moving or the ( speed/velocity. ) We were going to test it by using a bamboo pole with a string ( with a certain length ) and a bobber on the end and see how long it takes for the bobber ( from its full length ) to hit the bamboo pole. To find the actual speed of the water you take the length of the string divided by the time ( sec/centi
