Tap Water Temperature Lab Report

719 Words3 Pages

Statement of Problem: Using a thermometer with graduations above 40ºC covered, construct an experiment to find the temperature of the water found in a coffee pot which simulates a water heater that can be heated to 55ºC. Hypothesis: If the temperature of 50mL of tap water is found and then mixed with 25mL of hot water, then the temperature of the hot water can be determined because by finding the final(mixture of hot/tap water) and initial(tap water) temperatures, the experimenter can discover the original temperature the hot water was before it was mixed with the tap water. Experiment: Procedure: Fill a graduated cylinder with 60mL of tap water Pour the measured 60mL of tap water into one styrofoam cup and let it sit for two minutes …show more content…

After two minutes, determine the temperature of the tap water, this will be the initial temperature in the equation Write out constants for the equation -q(exo)=q(endo) Fill the same graduated cylinder this time with 40mL of tap water Pour the 30mL of tap water into a second styrofoam cup and mark with a pencil the water level in the cup Pour the 30mL of tap water out and fill the same styrofoam cup with hot water using the pencil mark as a guide—be careful not to spill hot water or touch hot surfaces Quickly mix the 30mL of hot water to the 60mL of tap water together in a third styrofoam cup Measure the temperature of the combined hot/tap water mixture, this will be the final temperature in the equation Calculate the equation with the temperatures found with the thermometer Independent Variable: ratio of water samples in mL Dependent Variable: The temperature of the hot water Controlled: using the same hot water (coffee pot), styrofoam cups, and thermometer …show more content…

Using these new measurements will give the same outcome as the 50mL of tap water and 25mL of hot water as stated in the hypothesis. However, we redid our experiment and tested the water ratio with 60mL to 30mL and found the same answer of 65ºC. The data shows both water ratios do in fact give the same result making this procedure accurate and can allow the experimenter to find the right temperature of the hot water. My lab partner and I learned that by finding the initial and final water temperatures within our experiment, we were allowed to use a simple equation which could get us our answer. We figured out how to use the equation -q(exo)=q(endo) more efficiently and were able to understand its function

    Introduction: In this assignment, I will be doing two experimentations on examining the impact of temperature on the Alka-Seltzer’s response time. The first experimentation that I will be doing involves some water that is room temperature. The second experimentation that I will be doing involves some water that is very hot. If I want to be able to figure out the impact of the temperature on water, I will have to document the time it will take for the Alka-Seltzer to go into solution.

    The topic of research is, “how fast does an Alka-Seltzer tablet make gas?”. In the experiment, the scientists will be measuring the chemical reaction rates that occur, when 1 Alka-Seltzer tablet is placed in a specific temperature of water. The independent variable during the experiment will be the temperature of the water (degrees Celsius). The dependent variable during the experiment will be, the rate in which gas is produced (in seconds). The constants of the experiment, will be the amount of water used and the Alka Selter compound.

    Paragraph 1 The objective of the experiment is to test; how will water temperature affect the rate of reaction of an alka-seltzer tablet? The dependent variable of the experiment is the dissolving time. When an alka-seltzer tablet starts to fizz it begins to dissolve, due to the citric acid and sodium bicarbonate the tablet contains (Clark, “Why does Alka-Seltzer fizz?).

    Although, regardless of the incorrect data I still could observe how each of the temperatures decreased differently for the period of time for each of the test tubes, because of coincidental having a hypothesis supported by the data. A realistic improvement that can reduce the impact of the issue on the data, is having the three members of the group, each of them in charge of a test tube, so each person will pour the amount of water needed, start the timer when they finish (each member will have a timer), measure and record the temperatures they get from the test tube they are in charge of. The results will be shared between the members

    Research question What is the effect of temperature Amylase activity? Word count-1453 Background research Enzymes are biological catalysts that speed up a chemical reactions. They do this by decreasing the activation energy(the energy needed to start the reaction) of a chemical reaction. The enzyme present in our saliva is called Amylase. Amylase increases the rate of reaction by decreasing the activation energy needed to hydrolyse the starch molecules.

    Exploration Title: Effect of Temperature on rate of Osmosis Submitted By: Abdulkarim Kamal Date Submitted: October 19th 2015 Subject: Biology HL Teacher: Mr. Nick   Aim: This is an investigation to determine the relation between temperature of a solution (sucrose) and the rate of osmosis Scientific Context: Osmosis is defined a passive transport process in which a fluid diffuses across a semi-permeable membrane, from an area of high solute concentration to an area of low solute concentration and vice-versa. There are various factors that could potentially influence the rate of osmosis; these factors include volume, concentration, and temperature. If all external factors that may interfere with rate of osmosis are controlled, the results will show equal amounts of fluid on both sides of the barrier (membrane); this is known as an “isotonic” state.
