The purpose of this experiment was to find out if table salt, Epsom salt, kosher salt, or sea salt can be more affective in melting ice faster. After performing the experiment, my hypothesis that table salt would melt the ice cube faster than using kosher salt, sea salt, or Epsom salt was proven to be correct. The table salt took the least amount of time to melt the ice cube with an average of 24 minutes. Then came kosher salt with an average time of 31 minutes. Thirdly was the sea salt with an average of 33 minutes. Finally, the Epsom salt took the longest time to dissolve the ice cube with an average of 47 minutes. The table salt melted the ice faster than the kosher salt, and Epsom salt because a granule of table salt is the smallest so
In this lab we were trying to figure out if Salt Creek and Barker Lake had the correct chemical balances to sustain catfish for the years coming. In order to find this out, we tested the water using a Hach Water Testing Kit. Inside were dissolved oxygen reagent powder pillows 1, 2 and 3 which we added and mixed into our sample water to prepare it for testing. Then we added droplets of Sodium Thiosulphate Solution into the prepared water too see how much dissolved oxygen parts per million were in the water. Our independent variable in this experiment was the 5 different testing sites that we went to for water samples.
It also became softer and smaller. Experiment 3: Our group had a bag of crystals and then we put some water in the bag, then we left the bag for a few minutes and then we came back and it was slush. Experiment 4: Our group had a piece of paper and a tub of water and a cup of salt. We put a little bit of the paper into the water with the cup of salt and then we waited a little while
During one experiment the results were, they found out that the higher the temperature of the water the faster the molecules will move and the lower the temperature the slower the molecules move. The molecules are what are make the alka-seltzer dissolve. So if they move slower the alka-seltzer dissolves slower, same as if the molecules move faster than the alka-seltzer will dissolve faster. Also according to a state science fair the results were that it took 19.53 seconds for the alka-seltzer to dissolve in hot water, 36.15 seconds for the alka-seltzer to dissolve in the warm water, and 96.17 seconds (1 minute and 36.17 seconds) for the alka-seltzer to dissolve in cold water. The alka-seltzer dropped in the cold water proved to dissolve the
As much was conducted throughout this lab, the projected completion of this lab displays that ultimately, the higher the temperature of the water, the faster the dissolving rate of the Alka-Seltzer is. In other words, the hotter the water temperature the quicker the tablet dissolves within the water in regards to the amount of time it took to dissolve. Furthermore, this experiment helps to explain that, if water is taken at a higher temperature and Alka-Seltzer is placed within the water, the Alka-Seltzer will take less time to dissolve because the higher temperatures cause the tablet to melt at a quicker rate. This compares to when Alka-Seltzer is placed in colder temperatures, where instead it takes more time to dissolve, because the lower
The lab started off by measuring critical materials for the lab: the mass of an an empty 100 mL beaker, mass of beaker and copper chloride together(52.30 g), and the mass of three iron nails(2.73 g). The goal of this experiment is to determine the number of moles of copper and iron that would be produced in the reaction of iron and copper(II) chloride, the ratio of moles of iron to moles of copper, and the percent yield of copper produced. 2.00 grams of copper(II) chloride was added in the beaker to mix with 15 mL of distilled water. Then, three dry nails are placed in the copper(II) chloride solution for approximately 25 minutes. The three nails have to be scraped clean by sandpaper to make the surface of the nail shiny; if the nails are not clean, then some unknown substances might accidentally mix into the reaction and cause variations of the result.
How does the type of dissolvent in the water affect the number of drops that can fit on a penny? We will attempt to find the answer to this question using the hypothesis “If we use salt water solution, then there will be more drops on the penny. ” We will use the materials salt, sugar, lemonade mix, flour, a beaker, a pipette, paper towels, a stirring rod, a graduated cylinder, and some tap
The crystals have irregular shapes so there is more air in a teaspoon of sea salt than there is in a teaspoon of table salt, which has smaller crystals and is therefore more compact. If you are using sea salt in place of table salt, use 1 1/14 teaspoons of sea salt for every teaspoon of table salt that your recipe requires. You will do the opposite if substituting table salt for sea salt. Use 1 teaspoon of table salt for every 1 1/4 teaspoon of sea salt in the dish.
Introduction The intent of this experiment is to understand how hot and cold water interact with each other by combining clear hot water and black ice cold water. I hope to learn more about how hot and cold water interact with each other. As of now, I know that cold water is denser than hot water. Knowing this I formed my hypothesis.
When sea water freezes the ice contains just a
It can be hypothesized that the water in the product affected the melting point
If one compares the amount of electrolytes present in an artificial substance (sports drink), to those in a natural substance (orange juice), then the natural substance will have the most electrolytes. That is my hypothesis. I chose this topic because I have always been skeptical about the validity of the quantity of electrolytes said to be in sports drinks. Sports drinks have been recommended as a way to replace electrolytes, which are lost during exercise. However, orange juice also has electrolytes and these are naturally occurring, not man made.
In each of the experimentations I studied, I have determined how the temperature of the water alters the speed of the Alka-Seltzer tablets being disintegrated. I have selected to differentiate on these two specific components because I wanted to collate and evaluate the number of carbon dioxide being created from the two dissimilar water temperatures. 3. The other key essentials I needed in order to control my experimentations were how much time it took, the quantity of water being utilized, and the temperature of the water. I have controlled both of these key essentials by utilizing a timer, a graduated cylinder, and a thermometer.
Trial #2 and Trial #3 were used to determine the freezing point of an aqueous solution. The “Unknown C” was used to create the aqueous solution. For Trial #2, 2.0019 grams of “Unknown C” were weighed and dissolved into the 11 dram vial. Once dissolved, the 11 dram vial was submerged into the ice bath, and the Vernier temperature probe was immersed into the 11 dram vial as well. Once the temperature of the aqueous solution reached 10°C, the temperature was recorded every 10 seconds.
In this experiment, the amount of water lost in the 0.99 gram sample of hydrated salt was 0.35 grams, meaning that 35.4% of the salt’s mass was water. The unknown salt’s percent water is closest to that of Copper (II) Sulfate Pentahydrate, or CuSO4 ⋅ 5H2O. The percent error from the accepted percent water in CuSO4 ⋅ 5H2O is 1.67%, since the calculated value came out to be 0.6 less than the accepted value of 36.0%.This lab may have had some issues or sources of error, including the possibility of insufficient heating, meaning that some water may not have evaporated, that the scale was uncalibrated, or that the evaporating dish was still hot while being measured. This would have resulted in convection currents pushing up on the plate and making it seem lighter by lifting it up
Vinegar is a powerful lifting agent when it comes to salt, and you won’t even need a trip to the store to restore your fabrics! Simply make sure to bring in some fresh air after treatment, and you’ll be good to go for braving those icy winter
