Water And Sucrose Lab Report

977 Words4 Pages

For the first experiment, we found our hypothesis to be supported by our results. We hypothesized that water would be have the most physical change in solute. According to the class data, water was able to dissolve magnesium sulfate, glucose, sucrose, and salt into true solutions. However, for pod six they claimed that their mixture for water and sucrose was more suspension than a true solution. Factors that may contribute to this answer can vary from the how well did they mix their mixture, how long did they mix it for, or their personal perception of what they believe the mixture is classified as. Water is a polar molecule that is held together by covalent bonds. It has two positive hydrogen ions and one negative oxygen ion (Blamire, 2003), when a water molecule interacts with any substances …show more content…

Ethanol as a substance on its own is also polar molecule due to its hydroxyl (OH) group (Schiller, 2017). Similar to water, ethanol has a high electro negative oxygen that attracts it to positive ions. This allows ethanol to form hydrogen bonds with other molecules. However, ethanol also has the ability to dissolve non-polar molecules because of it has an ethyl (C2H5) group (Schiller, 2017). This makes ethanol less of a polar solvent as compared to water in our experiment and explains why most of our mixtures were more suspension than a true solution. Our group also believed that if we had stirred our mixtures for longer than two minutes then the solvent and solute would’ve dissolved better and could’ve been colloidal. Lastly, for oil our group claimed that all of our oil mixtures were suspension. This made sense to us because oil is a non-polar molecule and does not form hydrogen bonds. Oil is also made up of carbon and hydrogen atoms and does not contain any electric charges like water and ethanol. Furthermore, this will make it hard for oil to dissolve any solid substances that are ionically or covalently

Rationale The cell membrane, also called the plasma membrane is found in all cells and separates the extracellular side of the cell from the cytosolic side (Cell membrane (plasma membrane), 2023). The purpose of the cell membrane is to communicate with the cell’s external environment, to contain the cell’s contents and to control the transport of molecules in and out of the cell. Diffusion is the passive movement of molecules from an area of high to low concentration.

Gummy Bear Lab Report

1804 Words | 8 Pages

More water would make the solution less concentrated, causing the water move from the less concentrated solution to the higher concentrated gummy bear (expanding cell) and vice versa. Consequently, we must use the same amount of amount in every solution to ensure a fair test. Color: Each color of gummy bears represents a different flavor. To achieve this, different levels of glucose are contained in the gummy bears and, therefore, to keep the test fair, we will be using the same color of gummy bears throughout the experiment.

Ap Chemistry Penny Lab

In performing these sets of experiments, in which we would drop a water/water solution onto the surface of a penny, we were trying to test and experiment the bonding qualities of water when made into a solution compared to when the water is pure. When we dropped pure tap water on to a penny, the water, instead of flowing and spreading out, stayed together in a single drop on the penny. We wanted to see how different substances affected this phenomenon. When we formulated our guiding question we made sure to preserve these intents in the language: how do foreign substances influence the bonding quality and strength (to the top of a zinc penny in specific) of water? Since these experiments were conducted in groups, we set up a few roles to

In this experiment three gummy bears were put in different solutions to observe the effect of osmosis on them. The independent variable in this situation are the following types of water: tap, salt, and sugar. The dependent variable is the change in mass and volume from all three gummy bears. The gummy bear brand, the environment, and the amount of time in the solution are the constants of the experiment. After the experiment is competed, one can determine how the osmosis changes the gummy bears.

Effects Of Osmosis On Gummy Bears

214 Words | 1 Pages

This experiment was created to contrast the effects of osmosis between three gummy bears in tap, sugar, and salt water. To compare the gummy bears, three cups were gathered and filled with twenty-five milliliters of the particular water solution. Then the mass and volume of each gummy bear was recorded into a chart. To find the mass, zero a balance once a strip of wax paper is placed over, and then place your gummy bear and record the mass. To find the volume of the bear, multiply the length, width, and height of the bear in centimeters with the help of a ruler.

Senses: How we Identify Different Flavors of Food Aim: To be able to identify the five different fruit flavors of skittles by using the sense of taste, while the participants of this experiment are blindfolded. Research Question: How are we able to identify the five different fruit flavors of skittles (strawberry, orange, grape, lime, and lemon) by only using our sense of taste? Hypothesis: I believe that the blind fold will make it harder for the participants to determine what fruit flavored skittle they have just ingested. This may also alter their perception of taste.

Athabasca Oil Sands Lab Report

613 Words | 3 Pages

The purpose of this experiment was to separate all components in a mixture that was consisted of water, salt, sand and mineral oil. This was achieved through the knowledge on physical properties of the substances being used, and also through previous understanding of intermolecular forces. This lab is based on the Athabasca Oil Sands, which are located in Northern Alberta, an area that is highly controversial due to its negative impact on the environment and the First Nations People. In 2011, 52 million tons of crude oil were extracted and distilled for fossil fuels, making it one of the largest mining operations in the world. In this area, crude oil exists as bitumen, which is mixed with sediments like sand and clay.

Experiment A: This lab’s goal was to find out whether tap water or pond water had more tannin contamination. When tannin and chlorine combine, the resulting substance can become a carcinogen. I added a reagent in each sample of water; in this lab, the tannin reagent is used to illustrate if a solution has elevated tannin levels. If the substance has tannin, then the solution will turn blue in about 30 minutes. I used a tannin colorimeter to measure more precisely the concentration of tannin in a substance in parts per million.

In this experiment, the hypothesis of having planaria to grow with the living conditions of Powerade or Gatorade was not supported. When going through and reading the statics all the planaria died with each experiment that I decided to do. I decided to put 10 drops and 20 drops of Powerade into a petri dish with 10 planaria in each petri dish along with 40 mL of spring water. With the results given it appeared that it was too much Powerade so, I decided to reduce the amount of dosage given with Powerade and only give them 1 drop in each petri dish.

Aim: To model the half-lives of radioactive atoms using Skittles Hypothesis: If we shake 184 skittles, and when they are poured out the ones with the printed “s” facing upwards decay, then it will take 7 half-lives for all “atoms” or skittles to decay. This is because if approximately half decay, then based on calculations, it will take 7 times (give or take) for the number of atoms to fall below 1, hence all atoms having decayed. Materials: 1x family share packet of Skittles 1x Resealable / Zip-lock bag Graph paper Method: 1. Count the number of skittles in your bag and record this number 2.

Water Hydration Lab Report

603 Words | 3 Pages

In this experiment, the amount of water lost in the 0.99 gram sample of hydrated salt was 0.35 grams, meaning that 35.4% of the salt’s mass was water. The unknown salt’s percent water is closest to that of Copper (II) Sulfate Pentahydrate, or CuSO4 ⋅ 5H2O. The percent error from the accepted percent water in CuSO4 ⋅ 5H2O is 1.67%, since the calculated value came out to be 0.6 less than the accepted value of 36.0%.This lab may have had some issues or sources of error, including the possibility of insufficient heating, meaning that some water may not have evaporated, that the scale was uncalibrated, or that the evaporating dish was still hot while being measured. This would have resulted in convection currents pushing up on the plate and making it seem lighter by lifting it up
