(enough to cover) Dixie cup, 5 oz. Ruler Electronic Balance Procedures: 1. Measure the mass, height, width, and depth of the gummy bear. 2. Put the gummy bear in the cup and fill with nail polish remover, enough to cover the gummy bear. 3. Wait 24 hours. 4. Take out the gummy bear and gently pat dry. 5. Repeat measurements. 6. Results: The gummy bear before the experiment was soft, gelatinous, and smelled sweet. After the experiment, the gummy bear turned into a gooey, melted, mush that smelled like Lysol. Measurement changes in gummy bears in nail polish remover Measurements Before After Difference Mass(g) 2.4 2.8 .4 Height(cm) 2.2 2 .2 Width(cm) 1.3 1 .3 Depth(cm) 1 1 0 7. Analysis: 8. Conclusions: We want to find out what will to a gummy bear placed in nail polish remover overnight. Instead of decreasing in size the gummy bear expanded very little and turned into a very gooey liquid.
Our hypothesis was only half right. While it did decrease in size, the original gummy bear was 2.2 cm tall, 1.3 cm wide, and 1 cm deep when after the experiment it change to 2 cm tall, 1 cm wide and 1 cm deep, the mass increased. The original mass was 2.4 g and increased to 2.8 g. What I think happened was that the main ingredient in the nail polish remover removed some of the gummy bear, changing its shape, while the other liquids got absorbed by the gummy bear. The main ingredient, acetone, is a solvent, causing the breakdown of the gummy bear. Many lapses could have occurred in our experiment. One experimental error was that when filling the cup, varying liquid measurements could have occurred. Another error was trying to pick up all the pieces the gummy bear lost to accurately measure the mass. I learned that the main ingredient in nail polish remover is very potent and can break down materials very easily. One question I had was: Why didn’t the nail polish remover remove the coloring from the bear? Another experiment I would like to try is concentrating the acetone and adding lacquer
thinner.
The mixture was poured through a weight filter paper and Sucrose washed with a 5ml of dichloromethane. The resulting solid was left in a breaker to dry for one week, to be measured. Left it in the drawer to dry out for a week and weighted it to find the sucrose amount recovered amount.
In the 1st day it showed that the gummy bear put in vinegar was getting bigger but over time the gummy bear in water grew even more bigger as the gummy bear in vinegar started disintegrating slowly, and parts of the gummy bear started falling off.

Many girls like to use nail polish to paint their nails, but how about as a libation? This is the case for 25-year-old Bertha, who drinks nail polish when she gets thirsty. Her favorite "flavors" are anything with glitter and the color blue.
(Afroakwa E.o, 2010) The saying "cocoa" is a debasement of the expression "cacao" that is taken straight from Mayan and Aztec dialects. (Grivetti L.e, 2009) Until generally as of late individuals finished not consider consuming the chocolate bar, drinking was the first utilization of chocolate, paying little respect to the confirmation of the Amazonian birthplaces, Mesoamericans were its unique organizers. (Backett S.t, 2008) The Maya created the first cocoa tree, these coca trees where developed by the Aztec of Mexico and the Inca of Peru. (Morganelli A, 2006) Many Maya relics like models, divider paintings, and earthenware vases, show Gods, Kings, People, and creatures drinking chocolate however despite the fact that all the Maya drank chocolate, just the affluent drank in refreshment from explained vessels. (Minifie B.w, 1989)the Maya of the Yucatan and Aztec of Mexico growed cocoa much sooner than first experience with Europeans.

They have certainly come a long way from their early formulations” (Toselli, p. 14). As Agapakis noted, nitrocellulose continues to be the main ingredient in today’s nail polishes (2014, [online]). However it is with a slight twist, Toselli reported that the form of nitrocellulose is as nitrocellulose cotton, which is a liquid mixed with micro sized pieces of cotton (p. 14.). According to L’Oréal, there are “…four primary qualities of nail polish: application, drying, glossiness and duration” (2015, [online]). L’Oréal refers to the quality of application as the ease to which the nail polish goes on the finger nail (2015). The characteristic, drying, refers to the time length after applying the nail polish for it to be hard to the touch. Glossiness refers to the shine a polish gives off, while duration refers to the length of time a polish lasts on the nails before chipping occurs as L’Oréal has explained (2015). To achieve each characteristic in one bottle of nail polish different ingredients must be utilized. As Secret Ingredient: Nail Polish (2011, [online]) has stated, “Nail polish usually consists of four major types of ingredients: polymers, plasticizers, pigments and solvents.” Each of these ingredients contribute to the four primary qualities of nail polish. Besides the four major ingredients, there are a long list of additional
You might guess it’s a custom dreamed up by a modern-day, real-life Willy Wonka, but people have been chewing gum, in various forms, since ancient times. There’s evidence that some northern Europeans were chewing birch bark tar 9,000 years ago, possibly for enjoyment as well as such medicinal purposes as relieving toothaches. The ancient Maya chewed a substance called chicle, derived from the sapodilla tree, as a way to quench thirst or fight hunger, according to “Chicle: The Chewing Gum of the Americas” by Jennifer P. Mathews. The Aztecs also used chicle and even had rules about its social acceptability. Only kids and single women were allowed to chew it in public, notes Mathews. Married women and widows could chew it privately to freshen their breath, while men could chew it in secret to clean their teeth.
About 1 gm. coarse powder was weighted and transferred to a 500 ml conical flask containing 100 ml of water. It was maintained at moderate boiling for 30 minute on water bath. It was cool and filtered in to a 100 ml volumetric flask. Volume was diluted by adding sufficient amount of water. The decoction was poured in test tube, and then shaken in a lengthwise motion for 15 seconds. They were allowed stand for 15 minutes and the height of foam was measured to determine the foaming index.

Candy is a great way to add a little zing to a party or an event. For example, Milky Ways, Snickers, and fun dip are some fun and great things for a party. Although, Kit-Kats are the best candy to eat and enjoy. Kit-Kats are the best candy because of their amazing crunchy wafer, their hilarious commercials, and their spectacular chocolate.
Chocolate has been a staple for societies in dozens of countries for centuries. The existence of chocolate can be traced back to the cacao bean utilized by the Olmec Indians. Chocolate went on a journey from pre-Columbian Mesoamerica, to Spain and the rest of Europe and eventually New World America. Although there is a countless amount of scholarship regarding chocolate, the research of Wilson, Dillinger (along with her associates), Lippi, Terrio and Norton have critical information pertaining to the topic of chocolate in Western Europe during the sixteenth to eighteenth centuries. All sources, with the exception of one of Norton’s sources, formulate a consensus from their research, that chocolate in Western Europe served multiple purposes
The Theobroma cacao tree is where it all started. Olmecs, Aztecs, and Mayans were the original consumers of cocoa: they would form it into a drink and ingest it for medicinal reasons (Allen Par. 7). The Spanish then brought it back to Europe and continued to treat a variety of ailments with it (Allen Par. 7). In the last 40 years people have started to question the health benefits of chocolate, but new research is starting to prove that the Olmecs, Aztecs, Mayans and Spaniards were not too far off. Now, the pods from the tree containing cocoa beans are collected, and the cocoa beans are taken out of the pod (Healing Foods Pyramid Par. 15). The beans are then fermented, dried, roasted, then ground to make cocoa liquor (Healing Foods Pyramid Par. 15). The cocoa liquor is then combined with sugar, vanilla, and cocoa butter to make what is now known as chocolate (Healing Foods Pyramid Par. 15). Controversy over the health benefits and detriments of chocolate is slowly subsiding, but there are many things that a lot of people still do not know about how chocolate can affect ones health. Chocolate is misunderstood.
Chocolate is a delightful confectionary consumed and enjoyed by many people. Some indulge in it as a treat on any given day, or share it on special occasions such as Easter, Christmas, anniversaries and birthdays [7].
Overall, this career is important to our society because nobody wants bad ice cream. And no one by ice cream the company will have to cut back. This then will cause people to loose their jobs. Then the unemployment rate + poverty will rise. Finally our country will fall and become a waste land (that escalated quickly). I think this career would be good for me because I will be making money doing something I love (eating).
