Soda Carbon Dioxide and Propulsion Relation Experiment For this assessment we had to solve and answer problem by designing a fair and accurate experiment. Sodas and carbonated drinks are one of the many things we see in our life. Our group has looked into carbonated drinks and how they work. However, we did not know the answer to one question: Which soda is more carbonated? Our research question is: Does a different type of soda increase or decrease the distance of its liquid propelled? Before I get into the method and details, we need to know some background information. Why do fizzy drinks fizz and why do fizzy drinks explode when shaken. Fizzy drinks fizz since the producers put a large amount of carbon dioxide into the container, this …show more content…
I think that this is because the company may have wanted miranda to be more gassy and put more carbon dioxide in or the acidic substance of oranges in miranda reacted stronger with the carbon dioxide. However there is a high possibility that our first test for miranda may have a couple of mistakes made since it was a large amount further than its other results(1st test: 3m, 2nd & 3rd test: 1.5m). This may be because we have shaken it too long, measured the results incorrectly, opened the can differently, changed the angle accidentally or since different people were shaking the can… Our method uses measuring distance to find out how well each soda propelled.Our strengths and limits in this method include many things. Strengths include it is accurately measuring the how well the gas and liquid has been propelled, is mostly safe and easy to gather results. The limitations include a large amount like: unable to tell which soda mark is which on the ground, not having the ability to know we are shaking at the same force, not having the most accurate measurer and tool, not able to stop at just the right time, not fully opening the …show more content…
This average reliability has been shown in the first miranda test, being quite different from its other tests. Secondly, we had two different people shaking the cans, this is not reliable since different people have different strengths. If a boney and weak man shook a can compared to a body builder, the body builder is often going to be able to keep shaking the can hard at a constant rate compared to the weak man which may result differences in result. The tools we have used has also effect our reliability. The measuring tape we have used is better than a ruler, stretching up to 3 meters, therefore making it reliable, its only weaknesses is that we have to determine where it ends on the tape and it is not always straight. Also the cans we have used are highly reliable as it were all the same temperature and contained the same amount of liquid inside them. The pavement we have used is not as reliable since we could not have seen which marks were which soda which may mean we might mistake a mark for another soda and measure it incorrectly. Our variables are likely yo be correct compared to what our research question was and the tools we have used is also
