Evaporation Lab Report
AbstractThere were flaws in the experiment. With the measuring cups it was difficult to tell whether or not the estimation was correct. If the experiment were to be done again, it would have ice in the measuring cups to see how the cold would make any changes in the evaporation. The experiment was done because evaporation is something that is interesting to see what happens after the experiment is over. The experiment was done by making the water have different additives in it and seeing which one evaporates first. The results in the first trial showed that in the salt was the first to evaporate. In the second trial water, salt, and nail polish remover evaporated equally. In the third trial salt evaporated the most. ………….

This data does support the hypothesis because the evaporation did work. The evaporation did take a while for the results to show up. But when the evaporation did show up it took only a few days for them to change. By the end of the experiment salt was the one to evaporate the most……………..

…………..Each trial has different numbers. The first trial has the average of each number that started off different. The second trial had some of the same numbers from the first. Some in the second decreased a lot more as seen in the graph. Trial three had some numbers decrease but others might have taken awhile for them to change also check the graphs to see the results…………….
…………..The units in trial one and measurements were observed daily and recorded on a chart. The results for trial two also took a while for changes to show up. By the end water, salt and nail polish remover evaporated the most. The units and measurements were as well checked daily for specific change. The changes in trial three made the numbers different from the other two trials. Some of the numbers decreased but not by a lot. In the end salt was the additive to evaporate the most. As well as the other two the units and measurements were checked daily for any changes in the

The reason could be that how ice would change anything in the experiment ad in the end the data numbers would change. The errors that could be would be that with the measuring cups they could be checked carefully instead of estimating the numbers. The purpose of still doing further research is because of how much has been evaporated and seeing the evaporation work with the additives. In the end also being able to see which one evaporated the most. The next step would be putting the measuring cups outside to see if it evaporates faster with the

    The experiment indicates some systematic errors with some of the equipment we used. For example, if we used more accurate thermometers the densities of the water and overall temperature of the water would become more accurate to the true temperature of the water, and decrease the percent error of the data. In my experiment, human error was very relevant. A systematic error also occurred in some of the readings because the water was still cooling down as the experiment went on causing the temperature to change which changed the density of the water. When calculating the density of the water I used -0.0030 g/ °Ccm3 in my calculations instead of -0.00030 g/ °Ccm3.…

    Experiment M1 was designed to familiarize us with how to take measurements with motion sensors, inferring graph such as time vs velocity and time vs position, and differentiating random and systematic error in an experiment. During activity 1 we begun by standing in front of motion sensor at a distance of 1.2 meters and varied our distance by 0.6 meters over the course of 25 seconds. This activity presented us with a position vs time graph that we were supposed to replicate to our best ability. For activity 2 we are given a position vs time to replicate and after replication a velocity vs time graph is created below. The graph showed that, though the position raises, evens out, and then returns to initial position; the velocity spiked positively, dropped negatively, and then evened out. During activity 3 we discussed the terms average value, random errors, systematic errors, accuracy, precision, and standard deviation. Using the equations provided in the text, we are able to calculate the average value and the standard deviation using the average value of both trails. After both calculations on each trial we were able to come to the conclusion that, increasing the range of results ultimately increased the standard deviation and random errors. The increase in standard deviation and random error lowered the accuracy of the trial. Theoretically, by closing our eyes in trial two there should have be an increase in standard deviation, random error, and a lower accuracy; in our results however, the second trial had a .000044 lower standard…

    Results: According to our results anhydrous salt magnesium has a formula hydrate of MgSO4 + 7H2O. The average moles of water per mole of anhydrous salt obtained: 6.93 moles. This was the average between trial 1 and trial 2. Even though our samples were not measures exactly even we obtained the same results for trail 1 and 2 for the percent of water in the hydrate =51% and percent of anhydrous salt in the hydrate =49%. The mass of hydrate in trial 1 =3.227g and trial 2 =1.973g. The mass of anhydrous salt trial 1 =1.581g and trial 2 =0.972g. Mass of water liberated trial 1 =1.646g and trial 2 =1.001g. Moles of anhydrous salt in 100g of hydrate trial 1 =0.407moles and trial 2 =0.807 moles. Moles of water in 100g of hydrate trial 1 =2.83 moles and trial =2 5.58 moles. Moles of…

    First, we cleaned, dried and heated an evaporating dish for five minutes on an iron ring with the Bunsen burner and massed it. Then, we added 2 grams of an unknown hydrate and calculated the mass of that. Next, we used gradually increasing heat for six minutes to dehydrate the solution, and we allowed it to cool for five minutes. We then massed it after cooling. We also wrote detailed observations. After this, we used our data to calculate the percent water of the solution using the appropriate equation which can be seen in the calculations section. Finally, we did a second trial to check the consistency of our data and cleaned up the lab station.…

    Each salt will have a concentration of one mole. A mole is the atomic weight of the compound multiplied by one gram, in 1000 ml of water. Since you will be using only 100 ml of water each time, then you must divide the atomic weight by 10 before multiplying it by one gram. You will be using a computer-interfaced Temperature Probe to monitor how much each salt decreases the freezing temperature of water, and a graph of your results will be plotted using the computer.…

    To begin this experiment we were given a Molecular Model kit to determine the shapes, whether they are polar or nonpolar, as well as which molecule has the strongest intermolecular forces. We then determine that either Butanol or Pentane would evaporate the quickest because they were similar in structure but they differed due to Butanol having five carbon molecules and also an oxygen molecule where Pentane has only four carbons and no oxygen molecules. Meaning Butanol has more hydrogen bonding to break apart. The next week, we then were given seven different types of substance to start this experiment. Once we had gathered all of this information we then began to test our claim. Which we thought that pentane would evaporate the fastest. My group members wrapped the…
