Recommended: Effect of salt on freezing point of water

The objective during this experiment was to discover the effects sodium chloride has on ice/water mixtures. More specifically how it affects the mixture’s temperature and freezing point. This was tested through seven different trials with increasing amounts of sodium chloride in each separate test. In order to conduct this analysis one must understand the meaning of the terms ‘independent’ and ‘dependant’ variable. An independent variable is a factor in the experiment that is unaffected by the other variables, whereas a dependant variable is one that will change due to other components of the experiment. In this instance the independent variable would be the sodium chloride. It is the controlled substance that does not change due to the other

    INTRODUCTION The winter season can be a major hassle for some people while others just have to deal with a slight cool down in temperatures. Over the northern portions of the country, people are faced to deal with the harsh conditions that Mother Nature has in store. Some winter seasons are less brutal than others. Besides the typical storm systems that come through the area and drop different types of precipitation whether it is snow, sleet, or freezing rain, there’s another weather event that affects not everyone in the country, but primarily around the Great Lakes.

    Independent Variable The temperatures are going to differ; this experiment is going to be split up for the various temperatures, therefore each boiling tube has water with different temperatures. In addition, a water bath is going to be used to get a high temperature. Dependent Variable Measuring the time, it takes to dissolve the sugar in the water, in minutes. Experiment 2: Investigating the rate of dissolving with different sizes of sugar particles: Control Variable: 1.

  • Which Type of Salt will Increase the Boiling Point of Water the Most?

    875 Words  | 2 Pages

    The researcher conducting this experiment is trying to find out which salt- Epsom, table salt, and sea salt- will increase the boiling point of water the most. Sodium chloride is believed to increase the boiling point of water because when salt is suspended into the water, the sodium and chlorine ions leave the “salt crystals” and mix with the water molecules. (“Why does salt… raise boiling point of water?”, 2009).

    The purpose of this experiment was to make a conclusion on why Mr. R’s lawn was turning yellow, and dieing around his drainage pipe. In this experiment there were different lab groups that tested out different chemical products, that would be washed down a drain. There was a wide assortment of products that were tested in this experiment, for example, windex was one of the products being tested. On our experimental days, we would take our product, and add it to the water supply of our grass. My lab group experimented with windex. Our hypothesis was, if windex was added to the daily water supply of grass, then the grass will turn yellow and die because of the chemicals in the windex.

    The purpose of an experiment is to systematically test and prove, or to test and disprove a hypothesis. This is accomplished by collecting evidence, observing the effect of variables, and measuring the results. An experiment is a controlled event used to objectively observe phenomena where one or more variables are used to interact with a constant variable. The researcher observes the outcome of the constant variable on the other variables. The experimenter is interested in establishing causality through isolation of the causal effects and providing evidence. The independent variable is assumed to cause the change in the other variables and is therefore manipulated by the researcher. The dependent variable is influenced by one or more of the independent variables. Changes in the manipulated independent variable will consequently cause a change in the dependent variable.
