Tap Water Temperature Lab Report

719 Words3 Pages

Statement of Problem: Using a thermometer with graduations above 40ºC covered, construct an experiment to find the temperature of the water found in a coffee pot which simulates a water heater that can be heated to 55ºC.
Hypothesis:
If the temperature of 50mL of tap water is found and then mixed with 25mL of hot water, then the temperature of the hot water can be determined because by finding the final(mixture of hot/tap water) and initial(tap water) temperatures, the experimenter can discover the original temperature the hot water was before it was mixed with the tap water.
Experiment:
Procedure:
Fill a graduated cylinder with 60mL of tap water
Pour the measured 60mL of tap water into one styrofoam cup and let it sit for two minutes …show more content…

After two minutes, determine the temperature of the tap water, this will be the initial temperature in the equation Write out constants for the equation -q(exo)=q(endo)
Fill the same graduated cylinder this time with 40mL of tap water
Pour the 30mL of tap water into a second styrofoam cup and mark with a pencil the water level in the cup
Pour the 30mL of tap water out and fill the same styrofoam cup with hot water using the pencil mark as a guide—be careful not to spill hot water or touch hot surfaces
Quickly mix the 30mL of hot water to the 60mL of tap water together in a third styrofoam cup Measure the temperature of the combined hot/tap water mixture, this will be the final temperature in the equation
Calculate the equation with the temperatures found with the thermometer
Independent Variable: ratio of water samples in mL
Dependent Variable: The temperature of the hot water
Controlled: using the same hot water (coffee pot), styrofoam cups, and thermometer …show more content…

Using these new measurements will give the same outcome as the 50mL of tap water and 25mL of hot water as stated in the hypothesis. However, we redid our experiment and tested the water ratio with 60mL to 30mL and found the same answer of 65ºC. The data shows both water ratios do in fact give the same result making this procedure accurate and can allow the experimenter to find the right temperature of the hot water. My lab partner and I learned that by finding the initial and final water temperatures within our experiment, we were allowed to use a simple equation which could get us our answer. We figured out how to use the equation -q(exo)=q(endo) more efficiently and were able to understand its function

A hot plate was placed under the ring stand. 50 mL of 3.0 M NaOH in a 250 mL beaker and a stir bar was placed in the beaker. The beaker with NaOH was placed on the hot plate and 3.75 grams of NaAlO2*5H2O was placed in the beaker. The temperature probe was placed in the beaker with the solution, not touching the bottom of the beaker. The solution was heated and stirred till the solution dissolved.

After seeing this data the two most effective look chemical at resisting energy was CaCl2 and LiCl. So we looked at the price of both of this chemical CaCl2 cost 6.55$ per 500g and LiCl cost 32.75$ per 500g because CaCl2 was substantially cheaper we decide to chose it to use in own hand warmer. We calculated that it would take 22g of CaCl2 to create a 20oC increase in temperature of 100ml of water. Some sources of error in this lab, would be heat escape from not be able to replace the lid of the calorement went adding chemical into it, inaccuracies in the balance, and not waiting of the proper time to recode the

Then the scientist will observe the different rates of reaction with temperature. The Boltzmann distribution of law, indicates that high temperature makes molecules gain high energy contents (pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/ja). In order to measure the reaction rate, the scientists must use the same volume of water at three different starting temperatures: hot tap

Introduction: In this assignment, I will be doing two experimentations on examining the impact of temperature on the Alka-Seltzer’s response time. The first experimentation that I will be doing involves some water that is room temperature. The second experimentation that I will be doing involves some water that is very hot. If I want to be able to figure out the impact of the temperature on water, I will have to document the time it will take for the Alka-Seltzer to go into solution.

This heating and cooling was repeated until there was very little (less than 0.0010 grams) fluctuation in numbers. Vial one had a start weight of 14.7681 and an end weight of 15.4098, meaning the mass of the water was 0.4658. Vial 2 had a start weight of 14.7451 and an end weight of 15.3833, meaning the mass of the water in this sample was 0.4633. The mass of the water was found by subtracting the mass of the vial with the hydrate (the start weight) from the mass after the final heating (the final weight). To then find the percent water divide the water mass by the hydrate mass and multiply by 100 since the number is a percent.

Exploration Title: Effect of Temperature on rate of Osmosis Submitted By: Abdulkarim Kamal Date Submitted: October 19th 2015 Subject: Biology HL Teacher: Mr. Nick   Aim: This is an investigation to determine the relation between temperature of a solution (sucrose) and the rate of osmosis Scientific Context: Osmosis is defined a passive transport process in which a fluid diffuses across a semi-permeable membrane, from an area of high solute concentration to an area of low solute concentration and vice-versa. There are various factors that could potentially influence the rate of osmosis; these factors include volume, concentration, and temperature. If all external factors that may interfere with rate of osmosis are controlled, the results will show equal amounts of fluid on both sides of the barrier (membrane); this is known as an “isotonic” state.

Research question What is the effect of temperature Amylase activity? Word count-1453 Background research Enzymes are biological catalysts that speed up a chemical reactions. They do this by decreasing the activation energy(the energy needed to start the reaction) of a chemical reaction. The enzyme present in our saliva is called Amylase. Amylase increases the rate of reaction by decreasing the activation energy needed to hydrolyse the starch molecules.

Introduction: In this lab, of water in a hydrate, or a substance whose crystalline structure is bound to water molecules by weak bonds, is determined by heating up a small sample of it. By heating, the water of hydration, or bound water, is removed, leaving only what is called an anhydrous compound. Based on the percent water in the hydrate, it can be classified as one of three types: BaCl2O ⋅ 2H20, with a percent water of about 14.57%, CuSO4
