Sodium carbonate Overflowed in the molds making it difficult to get out of molds Muffin top Little moist in bottom and middle of molds Very dry on top Some bubbles were made when placed into the water bath Bubbles could be heard popping when in water Took a little bit to disintegrate There were holes when hardening from bubbles Trial 2 crumbled to pieces Trial 4 and 5 were still wet and crumbled and the top came off on Trial 5 An exothermic reaction occurred therefore the water bath became colder

Meaning that the more acidic to stable of the Hydrogen Ion concentration is the more soluble the bath bomb becomes. This data does not support the original hypothesis of “If bath bombs are designed with different concentrations, then the Sodium Bicarbonate bath bomb design will be the most soluble because Sodium Bicarbonate is a salt and has a high solubility in water.” The data showed that the citric acid and sodium carbonate mixture with an average pH of 6.4 disintegrated in 9 minutes and 19.44 seconds while the sodium carbonate took the longest time to disintegrate at 25 minutes and 27.69 seconds. So clearly the as stability of the Hydrogen Ion Concentration from an acidic solution, the less time the salt mixture takes to disintegrate but when the solution becomes basic the more time the salt mixture takes to
