Freezing Point Depression Lab Report

416 Words2 Pages

Freezing Point Depression Purpose: The purpose of this experiment is to determine the freezing point depression of ice by making ice cream. Safety Precaution: Allergy precaution! Do not touch or eat if allergic to dairy or lactose intolerant. Materials: • ½ cup of milk • ½ cup of whipping cream/ heavy cream • ¼ cup sugar • ¼ teaspoon vanilla or vanilla flavoring • ½ to ¾ cup of sodium chloride • 2 cups of ice • 1- quart Ziploc bag • 1- gallon Ziploc bag • Measuring cups • Spoons • Cups Procedure: 1. Add the milk, whipping cream/ heavy cream, sugar and vanilla/ flavoring to the quart sized Ziploc bag. Seal the bag completely. 2. Put 2 cups of ice into the gallon Ziploc bag. 3. Add the salt to the bag of ice. 4. Place the closed quart …show more content…

Continue to rock the bag for 10-15 minutes or until the contents of the quart bag have solidified into ice cream. 7. Open the gallon bag. 8. Remove the quart bag, open it and place the ice cream into cups with spoons and eat it. Explanation of the Science Behind this Experiment: This experiment is an example of freezing point depression. Ice melts when it absorbs energy so it can change from a solid to a liquid. On the contrary, when salt is added to the ice, it lowers the freezing point of the ice. That means that in order for the ice to melt, it needs to absorb even more energy. Once salt is added to the ice, it makes the ice colder, allowing it to freeze. Additionally, large crystals of salt are used because it takes more time for larger pieces of salt to dissolve in the water, which allows the ice cream to cool even more. In this experiment, the way to see and determine the freezing point depression is by measuring the temperature of the ice in the gallon bag before salt is added and to measure the temperature of the ice and salt once the ice cream is formed in the quart bag. By having these two measurements of temperature before and after the salt was added, shows the freezing point depression and how it works once salt is added to the

Metamorphic is heat and pressure and Sedimentary is a mixture of conglomerate, fossils and layers. Experiment 2: We put chalk and 3 spoons of sand into a cup and shook it really hard. Some of the sand turned pink which was the colour of the chalk.

    The transition between fall and winter is a hazardous time for commercial or owner operator truck drivers in North Carolina. Your winter driving skills are a bit rusty and the roads have no treatment yet. As the temperatures fall below freezing, a hidden danger can present itself when you least expect it: black ice. Black ice is a film of transparent frozen water that can be invisible or appear like wet pavement.

    (2011) exemplified in their study, Ono (1970) focused on a specific region in which to retrieve ice crystal samples from clouds in order to study the growth rate. The clouds sought out for the study were in areas with the temperature varying between -2°C and -32°C. With a variety of clouds to choose from, over 10,000 samples of ice crystals were collected and examined to look for any kind of similarity between ice crystals found in the sampled clouds. A connection was discovered between the growth rate of ice crystals at the defined temperature range and the ice crystal structure. The study found that certain types of ice crystals relied heavily on how cold the temperature was in order to grow, and examples were shown between columnar ice crystals and plane ice crystals depicting their size after being exposed to frigid

    Errors could have come from the ice bath not being cold enough, not all the powder transferred into the 11 dram vial, and not dissolving all of the powder. The usage of tap water instead of distilled water would have affected the results for tap water contains other ions which would then affected the freezing point depression. Salting icy roads and walkways lowers the freezing point of the water that forms ice which leads to melting and prevents falling snow or rain from being able to freeze.

    Discussion The ideal Van't Hoff factor for potassium chloride is 2, because the compound dissociates into its ions, K+ and Cl-. The greater the Van't Hoff factor means the more a compound lowers the freezing point temperature of the solvent it dissolves in. For a liquid to freeze it must form a lattice, a three-dimensional arrangement of particles that make up a crystalline solid, and the presence of solute particles interferes with the ability of the solvent particles to form a lattice. To compensate the system must be brought to an even lower temperature to freeze, and the more particles that are present within the solvent, the larger that freezing point depression becomes.3

  • The Mpemba Effect: Hot Water Freezes Faster Than Cold Water

    1149 Words  | 5 Pages

    The Mpemba effect is that, under certain circumstances and experimental parameters, it is observed that hot water freezes faster than cold water which sounds implausible since hot water, with a higher temperature than cold water, has a higher amount of internal energy which has to be lost before it starts to change its state and turn into ice. The effect got its name from Erasto Mpemba who discovered the effect that hot water freezes faster than cold water after he discovered that hot ice-cream freezes first before cold ice-cream. Philosophers and scientists throughout history, which included Aristotle, René Descarte, and Francis Bacon, in fact had already discovered this phenomenon but Erasto Mpemba further reinforced this effect.
