Prolonging the Tenacity of Bubbles
CHAPTER I THE PROBLEM AND ITS SETTING This chapter provides the background, objectives and significance of the study, and the scope and delimitations that will give some information about our study “Prolonging the Tenacity of Bubbles”.

INTRODUCTION

Bubbles can be seen everywhere. They are used in kids’ parties and other outdoor activities like picnic. They are also cheap and easy to make. You just need dishwashing liquid, glycerin and water.

The purpose of this experiment is to prolong the tenacity of bubbles that are made from dishwashing liquid. Another aim is to entertain children who are fond of playing bubbles.

However, other types of soap like granulated soap can be used in creating bubbles, but we used dishwashing soap/liquid in our research because it creates the best bubble solution.

Glycerin is also highly "hygroscopic" which means that it absorbs water from the air. It is also used in making soaps, that’s why it is also needed in creating bubbles.

When bubbles are exposed in the air, it becomes thinner and thinner until it pops. This shows the fast weakening of the tenacity of bubbles. That’s why we choose this research. We choose this so we can prolong the tenacity of bubbles so it won’t pop quickly

Background of the Study

Bubble blowing may go back in ancient times. Though unverified, C.V. Boys (Soap Bubbles: Their Colors and the Forces Which Mold Them) quotes third-hand the earliest depiction of blowing bubbles which was seen on an Etruscan vase in the Louvre in Paris.

Years after the first bubble blowing, it became popular especially to children. It became used for entertainment. Some people discovered creating other shapes of bubbles which became more entertaining. Today, bubbles are now used for parties and outdoor activities.

Bubble blowers are the one that converts the bubble solution into bubbles. Pipes and wands were the earliest mass produced bubble blowers. Today, we use mechanical bubble blowers

    The goal of this project was to make, and test four soaps, and two detergents. The purpose of making four different soaps and two detergents was needed in order to decide which one would be best for the environmental group to use in the future that would allow for the safest cleanup of an oil spill while not harming the animals or the environment in the process. It was necessary to test the impact of the four soaps and two detergents by analyzing their different properties based off of their specific characteristics and the wastewater left over from the vacuum filtration procedure. This procedure had to be undertaken in order to confirm which of the soaps and detergents synthesized is most environmentally suitable, and which one would result in the most minimal environmental damage as possible after clean up. Other test that were essential in determining the characteristic and properties of each individual soap and detergent included testing for lather ability, cleaning ability, and solubility. Each soap and detergent was tested for lather ability, solubility and clean- ability, by cleaning dirty lab glass wear by means of mixing a small amount of each soap and detergent in a beaker with water, and creating a lather by the use of a scrub brush. The individual results can be seen in Table 4. The greater the lather, more cleaning ability the soap or detergent was capable of. The test of lather ability was done first by using tap water. The soap will make more bubbles with the soft water than with the hard water, because it reacts with the calcium and magnesium salts to form 'scum', which is insoluble in water when mixed with hard water. This means there is less soap for making bubbles, or for cleaning. The tap water used to test the properties of the soap would most likely be considered hard water more than it would be considered soft which is why the conclusion of the least lather ability meant more cleaning ability. After the…

    Conclusion: It was proven that the hypothesis made, “the sugar solution will produce the best quality bubbles because of it’s sticky texture,” did in fact come true. To improve this experiment, it could be done in a windless room as well as launched up higher. This way, the bubbles won’t pop because of the wind, and it could take a…

    El Bubble gum cigars have a clear crackly wrapper that lets you see the bubble gums true color. Once you open the clear crackly wrapper the aroma of sweet sugar fills the air around you. The outstretched bubble gum cigar has a delicious sudden burst of surgery sweetness that waters your mouth when you begin to chew it. The bubble gum cigar has a pastel lime green coloring,AAAAA almost like a cartoon green. When you bite into the solid cigar and begin to examine the chewy center it is darker on the outside and lighter on the inside. When you unwrap the crackly wrapper the first touch you feel is the hard solid smooth outside. However when you begin to take a bite it is bendable and soft like Gumby. When you chew a piece of bubble gum and your saliva softens the gum it begins to create a smacking sound. The best thing about El Bubble bubble gum cigars is blowing a bubble that grows and grows until it pops with a loud…

    In Blowing Bubbles for Science by Sarah Schwartz, Scientists found out a tip to make the best bubbles. It is the discovery of the fact that it does not matter how thick the the soap is but, but how much speed the air has. To begin with, physicist Courbin and his colleagues created a device that is similar to a bubble wand, which helps determine the air that is pushed out and creates the bubbles. The scientists also created several different mathematical equations to create predictions for different individual conditions of this device. For example for slow or quick moving jets basically the equations are used to find the speed.…

    Putting dish soap into a fountain is the wrong thing to do and can negatively impact both the environment and the community. If the soap gets into the water, it can contaminate lakes and water supplies. The bubbles may trigger allergies and cause walking surfaces to become very slippery, which could result in someone getting injured. Foaming a fountain is a huge sign of disrespect for the community and the image that the fountain is trying to portray. All in all foaming a fountain has many negative consequences and should never be…

    LITERATURE: The acids in the vinegar make the shell deteriorate. Eggs contain "calcium carbonate"(this is what makes it hard), and vinegar is an acid. When they both combine a chemical reaction takes place, and carbon dioxide is released. This is what bubbles are made of. The vinegar makes the egg soft because it takes all the carbon out. Since the egg shell is made out of "calcium carbonate" and is "eaten" up by the acidic vinegar. It leaves behind the inner membrane and gives it the rubbery effect.…

    The Bubble-Blowers are named because they basically just really like blowing bubbles. They can also have a pretty simplistic form of chewing because it is just a repetitive motion that they use. However, they can be more annoying than and “Oldie” would be because of the sound when they pop their bubble. For them it is something that has formed into a habit and usually is unnoticed, but for others it can be a nuisance to hear gum just popping over and over again.…
