The purpose of this lab is to see if changing the temperature and the surface area affects the speed of the solute dissolving. This lab relate to the things you have been learning in class because it connects to solubility and how the change in temperature, surface area, and concentration affects the rate in which a substance dissolves. In this lab we hypothesize if we increase the temperature of the vinegar, then the speed of the Alka-Seltzer would increase as well because the speed of the molecules breaking down will be faster. If we also increased the surface area of the Alka-seltzer, it will also dissolve quickly because the pieces are little. In order to complete the surface area experiment, we put our safety goggles on to prevent any …show more content…
This data indicates that with a bigger surface area, it took 16 seconds for the cap to pop off, whereas with an normal Alka-Seltzer it took 8 seconds. As a result of the time, we determined that with a bigger surface area, the speed of the solute dissolving increases. Another data indicates that with a higher temperature, it took 4 seconds for the cap to pop off, whereas with a cooler temperature it took 10 seconds. As a result, we determined that with a higher temperature, the speed of the solute dissolving also increases. These results do make sense because with a bigger surface area, the crushed tablet of Alka-Seltzer dissolve quickly because the vinegar molecules break down the Alka-Seltzer molecules easily than when the tablet is a solid. The other result do make sense because with a higher temperature, the molecules move faster, thus speeding up the process to break down a solute easily. One source of error may have been is that we could’ve put more vinegar in the canister when conducting the experiment. This error would have affected our data because if the seconds were wrong, then that can lead us to having the wrong time for each experiment, resulting we could have longer time than expected. To summarize, the pop rockets experiment helped us determine that with a bigger surface area, the solute has a higher
Thorough analysis of the graph displayed enough evidence suggesting that an increase in substrate concentration will increase the height of bubbles until it reaches the optimum amount of substrate concentration, resulting in a plateau in the graphs (figure 2). Hence; supported the hypothesis.
This experiment will show how the temperature of water will affect how quickly a Alka-Seltzer tablet will dissolve. (Rowland) This experiment seemed appealing to me because it sounded interesting to experiment with chemical reactions. “How does the temperature of water affect how quickly an Alka-Seltzer tablet will dissolve?”
Alka Seltzer Dissolving at Different Temperatures. The variable that I will change will be the temperature of the water. that the Alka Seltzer is put in. For my results I will measure the time taken for the Alka seltzer.
In a more concentrated solution, collision occurs more often because there are more molecules. The more often these molecules collide, the greater the chance they having of reacting. This means that the rate of a chemical reaction will increase if the concentration of reactants is increased. However, in this experiment, I'm going to do an investigation to find out how amylase concentration affects the rate of starch Hypothesis:
Regarding the densities of Coke and Diet Coke, I believed that the density of coke would be greater than the density of Diet Coke. Because the content of Coke contains more sugar than Diet Coke, it would contain more mass and since density is mass dependent, Coke would be denser than Diet Coke. From the results of the experiment, there was a slight difference between the densities of Coke and Diet Coke. The measurements obtained from the pipette and the graduated cylinder demonstrated that Coke is denser than Diet Coke while Diet Coke was shown to be denser than Coke using the burette. With the pipette, the average density of Coke is 1.02 and the average density of Diet Coke is 0.99. With the graduated cylinder, the average density is 0.976968 and the average density of Diet Coke is 0.95. With the burette, the average density of Coke is 0.99 and the average density of Diet Coke is 1.0. Among the three instruments, the most precise was the graduated cylinder and the most accurate was the volumetric pipette. Since density is defined as mass/volume, changing the volume of Coke or Diet Coke would have changed.
If the concentration of sucrose increases, then the mass of the potato will decrease. However, if the concentration of the solution in the beaker is less than that of the potato (such as distilled water), then the mass of the potato will increase. So, as the concentration of sucrose increases the rate of osmosis increases.
Extraction is a separation method that is often used in the laboratory to separate one or more components from a mixture. Sucrose was separated at the beginning because it is the most immiscible and it’s strongly insoluble. Next Acetylsalicylic Acid was separated which left Acetanilide alone. Variety steps could have led to errors occurring. For example the step of separation, when dichloromethane layer was supposed to be drained out, it could be possible some aqueous layer was drained with it. Which could make the end result not as accurate. Also errors could have occurred if possibly some dichloromethane was not drained out. Both way could interfere with end result of figuring the amount of each component in the mixture. The solids percentage were 22.1% more than the original. That suggests that solids weren’t separated completely which clarifies the reason the melting points that were recorded were a slightly lower than the actual component’s melting point. The melting point for Acetylsalicylic Acid is 136 C but that range that was recorded during the experiment was around 105 C to 118 C. The melting points were slightly lower than the literature value. Sucrose was the purest among all component due to its higher melting point which follows the chemical rule that the higher the melting point the more pure the component
Anne Zhang 3/6/14 BSGE 7-1 Lab Report Problem Paragraph 1 Question: What is the effect of temperature on the dissolving time of an Alka-Seltzer? Alka-Seltzer is made up of baking soda, aspirin, and citric acid which gives the tablet the fizz when dropped in any temperature water. “Alka-Seltzer is a medication that works as a pain reliever and an antacid.
The purpose of the lab was to show the effect of temperature on the rate of
The rate at which Alka-Seltzer tablets reacts with water Statement of problem The aim of the experiment is to find out the rate at which Alka-Seltzer tablets react with water. The input variable that I will change is temperature. The output variable will be measured by the time it takes for the Alka-Seltzer tablets to dissolve.
Our task was to investigate what the optimum ratio of solute to solvent that will produce the maximum cooling/heating effect?
I blended on high to make the potatoes more liquid-like. I grabbed the cheesecloth and placed on the top of the blender. I poured the potato extract on the container and labeled it. I found out that I have to make 1% sugar solution so I grabbed the sugar and measured into 5 grams on the scale. I added 5 grams of sugar on 250 ml graduated cylinder and poured the water into the cylinder. I mixed the sugar with water and poured it into the saucepan. I refilled the water into the graduated cylinder and poured into the saucepan. I turned on the heat of the stove and saw the sugar dissolved. I poured into a container and labeled 1% sugar solution. I repeated the same thing with 1% salt solution by using 1 gram of salt and filled the water into graduated cylinder by 100 ml. I answered question three. In the first experiment, I grabbed four transfer pipets and used it to put solutions into the test tubes by 3ml. I labeled it and placed into the plastic cups so it can stand upright. I grabbed each test tube and poured 2 ml of catalase solution into it. I also tapped and swirled to measure the bubbles by using the ruler. I wrote the numbers into the lab report. In the second experiment, I labeled the room
In experiment 5, we are learning about density and specific gravity in measurements. Density is measured by mass divided by volume in order to get the ratio of the mass of an object to its volume. Specific gravity, on the other hand, is the density of a substance divided by the density of water and will cancel out the units in order to get a unitless measurement. Mass and Volume can be measured in two different ways, first mass can be calculated by directly placing it on the triple beam scale directly, or by weighing the difference. Volume can be calculated by displacement in the graduated cylinder or by calculating its dimensions. In this experiment, the objectives were to calculate the density of a solid by measuring its mass and volume,
The same was true for diffusion in a liquid. The cold water diffused at a much slower rate than the room temperature water did. Though the gel and liquid are two different states of matter, the experiments both help solidify how diffusion works in different temperature settings.
