Dry Ice: A Frozen Mixture Of Carbon Gas
Background research Dry ice is a frozen mixture of Carbon dioxide, and like many other mixtures that give off Carbon dioxide dry ice is able to fill up a balloon. Using other substances that give off Carbon dioxide along with dry ice, which substances would be able to give off enough Carbon dioxide to inflate a balloon. The scientist will of course be controlling many variables. The scientists independent variable will be the substances they will be using, which is dry ice, yeast, and baking soda with acid. The scientist will also have substances that will remain constant, i.e., the balloons, the size of the bottles used and the amount of substance the scientist uses.

While there have been many different variations

    The two types of ice that are encountered during flight are clear and rime. Clear ice is formed when the remaining liquid fragments of the water drop flows over the aircraft surface, constantly freezing as a smooth layer of solid ice. Forming occurs when droplets are bigger, such as in heavy rain or in thunderstorm clouds. Clear ice is solid, hard, heavy, and cohesive. Removing it by deicing equipment is very challenging.…

    In this experiment, we will be finding out what happens to gummy bears when put in different solutions to observe and predict why they dissolve, shrink, or grow in each of them. The solutions that we are using are 2 % Low-Fat milk, apple cider vinegar, filtered water, sugar, baking powder, and salt. The prediction is that when the gummy bears are in baking powder, they will be hypotonic, but will be hypertonic in sugar. Our controls are the same intervals of time and the same type of gummy bear. Since they are made purely of different forms of sugar, when mixed with the sugar water, it will most likely expand.…

    When James White said “this is one of those pivotal moments in human history, it is too important for us to continue to ignore it”, he was referring to something bad occurring and us humans not realizing it until it’s too late. Just like many other moments in history we don’t care about certain things unless it impacts us directly. Well global warming and climate change is real and that’s what he’s trying to get across. The climate of the planet is rising as well as the sea level and this means trouble for everyone across the world. However, White did mention one part of the world that would be impacted the most and that would be Asia because the people over there rely heavily on water from Himalayan…

    The purpose of this experiment is to conduct different experiments that will illustrate the different gas laws. We will be given a list of equipment need to perform the experiment as well as general rules to help us do the experiment. We will investigate three properties of gases pressure, temperature, and volume. By doing this experiment we will be able to define the gas laws. According to Boyles, it states that a fixed amount of ideal gas that is kept at a fixed temperature, that the pressure and volume are inversely proportional, if the temperature stays unchanged. According to Charless Law, if the pressure of a gas is held constant, as the gas is heated, its volume will increase and that cooling the gas will cause the volume to decrease. Charles law describes that of the Gay- Lussacs law, who had actually referenced unpublished work of Charles. The law states that at a constant pressure, the volume of the given mass of the ideal gas will increase/ decrease, the same ways as the temperature will increase/ decrease. An easier way to interpret this is that at a constant pressure, volume and temperature are directly proportional. Materials Lab quest Vernier gas pressure sensor Temperature probe 20 mL gas syringe 125 mL Erlenmeyer flask 3 600mL beakers hot plate Dry ice rubber stopper with 2-way valve Procedure and observations (Part 1) The first thing we did in this experiment was measure pressure and volume. To do this we used the lab quest and syringe. You attach the syringe to the valve of the gas pressure sensor. We pick a volume and when reading the volume on the syringe make sure you read from the inside black ring on the piston of the syringe. Make sure to connect the gas pressure sensor to the Lab Quest and choose new from the file menu. Then you will set up the data collection, first change the collection mode to events with entry, then enter volume and units (mL) and select ok. When collecting the data allow for the pressure to fluctuate and when it is…

    The fastest way to cool a soda deals a lot with heat transfer. Heat is a measure of the average molecular motion of matter and can be transferred from one piece of matter to another in four different ways which are conduction, convection, evaporation, and radiation. (Tania Dakka) In the experiment the different levels of the independent variable include a cooler with ice, another with ice and water, one with water ice and salt, the refrigerator, and the freezer. Prior research has been done on this subject by Andrew Olson who has a Ph. D and tested with the refrigerator and freezer. From earlier researchers, facts show that in both the freezer and refrigerator, cold air is removing heat from the room-temperature soda can by convection. Convection is the movement caused within a fluid by the tendency of hotter and therefore less dense material to rise, and colder, denser material to sink under the influence of gravity, which results in transfer of heat. (Weather Questions) In this experiment, when immersing a can of soda in a cold liquid, it is okay to expect that a much greater number of molecular interactions would result and data would show whether the soda will cool off faster. In the experiment the dependent variable is the the temperature of the soda over different periods of time. We plan on taking the temperature (C ) of the soda in each of the different independent variables after 20 minutes, 40 minutes, and 60 minutes. Also, the salt in the salt water, lowers the freezing point of the water, allowing the ice in the ice bath to melt while still retaining its temperature.(Education) This makes the chilly water in the ice bath even colder. By conducting the experiment the heat should transfer from the soda to one of the levels of the independent variable and the data should help support convection in hope to learn which one is the fastest way to cool the soda.…

    North of Alaska, ripples scattered over the water as the small 'u' shaped trawler glided through the shivering water. As Summer swept through, the mountains with the remains of snow enclosed the lake, distant from the open sea. A small gulley was the only way to access the unknown feverish water. A thin layer of ice sat clumsily on the cool liquid. As the humble boat pierced through the slender layer of ice, it parted with ease leaving a slushy mix on the surface. Calmly, the middle aged man walked to the bow lowering the now ancient anchor. As ancient as the anchor so was the boat. White paint peeled from the side and hull, the raw timber now exposed. As the man walked across the decaying boards they screamed in protest. The man, Tim Kolveski,…
