Number Of Candle Experiment Results

570 Words3 Pages

Introduction
The experiment that we did was the candle experiment. How this works is by lighting candles inside of a pan with water on a stand, put a lid on it, and watch the water rise into the lid while the candles burn out. We wonder if the number of candles affects the height of the liquid. My hypothesis is that the number of candles does affect the height of the liquid in the pan. I think this because there would be no other reason for the liquid to rise other than the amount of candles that are being burned.
Experimental Design The design of this experiment is pretty simple. The independent variable for this experiment is the number of candles. The dependent variable is the height of the liquid. We are going to do 4 replicates for different classes.
Materials Procedure
• Pan (Glass)
• Stand
• Four Candles
• Lid (Glass)
• Liquid (Water)
• Food dye (Red)
• Lighter 1. Fill a pan a little more than half way with water
2. Put food dye in the water
3. Put a stand in water
4. Place 4 candles on the stand
5. Light one candle
6. Put lid over the candles and in the water
7. Measure water after candles go out and water rises
8. Repeat all steps (Adding another candle each time)

We also could’ve tried to make sure that there were no errors during our experiments. An error that we had is that the length of time that the candle(s) went out and measuring the height of the temperature wasn’t always the same. That means that the water could’ve went down in that time. The bubbles that were in the liquid after it rose in the lid definitely could’ve affected the height of it. Each time we started the experiment, we should’ve checked to see if the height of the starting liquid was the same. When we measured the water, we measured with the ruler at the end, not at

    We were asked to correctly communicate these findings as we tested each of the substances she had encountered with both water and hexane. In experiment number three, The Relationship Between the Volume of a Gas and the Temperature, we where given a list of materials and asked to come up with our own procedure, which we did using zip lock bags filled with air, and submerged fully in a measured amount of water in order to find the volume, and then the change in volume when the temperature of the water was increased. In the fourth experiment we were asked to find the temperature of heated water, based on the cold and warm water. The experiment also required that each section be preformed several times in order to ensure accuracy, and also asked that the experimental responsibilities be split up between lab partners, each doing a section of the testing. This gave us an opportunity to work together with our fellow lab partners, with no one person doing the bulk of the work.

    In this week’s lab we had to determine the density of a quarter, penny, and dime. My question was “How does is each coin?” Density is the amount of mass in an object. To find the density of each coin in this lab, we used a triple beam balance to find each coin’s mass and a graduated cylinder to find their volumes. With all this information, I can now form a hypothesis.

    Large bubbles with a short duration indicate a higher alcohol content, while smaller bubbles that disappear more slowly indicate lower alcohol content. A common folk test for the quality of moonshine was to pour a small quantity of it into a spoon and set it on fire. The theory was that a safe distillate burns with a blue flame, but a tainted distillate burns with a yellow flame. Practitioners of this simple test also held that if a radiator coil had been used as a condenser, then there would be lead in the distillate, which would give a reddish flame.

    The control in the experiment is water. Units used while timing the productivity of gas from an Alka-Seltzer tablet in different temperatures is, seconds. In order to find out if temperature controls the rate of chemical reaction, whether hot water is a more effective way to make the gas produce at a faster speed, it would be necessary to compare the results of different temperatures at the end of each trial. In order to do this the scientists will measure the volume of gas that is produced within a 10 second interval time after the tablet begins to react.

    These changes from the initial measurements are quite minuscule and don’t really affect the gummy bear substantially. The results did not support the hypothesis that was created, as the gummy bear’s measurements, while small, did change. This is because, while the oil seemed to have a higher viscosity which in theory prevented the solution to be absorbed by the gummy bear, perhaps due to a rising temperature provided by the sunlight or inaccurate measurements after the experiment was completed, the results went against the hypothesis. Either way, the thickness of the oil prevented major alterations to the length and mass.

    Utilizing the method that the experimenters have come up with, the procedure isolates the variable being tested, which is the paper towel brand. By not changing other aspects of the procedure, other factors have a lower chance of affecting the accurate results of the answer to the main question. Additionally, the method is a quick and simple experiment, causing no use of excessive time than the provided duration. Within the first minutes of the experiment, the experimenters and the advisor realized that the method did not really provide accurate results due to merely estimating the numbers without the use of a graduated cylinder. Changing that aspect of the procedure by using a graduated cylinder to measure the amounts of water instead helped

    Record the readings for the time taken, for the particular height (the paper cup was dropped from). Repeat this process (using the same equipment), by varying the height of paper cup from the ground (with a specific difference in height, in each experiment). The independent variable, which is the height the empty muffin paper cup is dropped from, will start at 1 metre and the increase in height will be 0.5 m in each experiment. The use of the clamp stand is effective in this experiment because it will always control or keep constant, the height in which the paper cup is dropped from, unlike somebody dropping the paper cup using his/her hands.
