ABSTRACT
What is the fastest way to cool a soda? In this experiment, 8 cans of soda were used to determine the fastest method the cool the can of soda. The four alternative methods were the freezer, the refrigerator, ice cubes, and also an ice bath. Using 2 cans for each method, and measuring the temperature at increments of 5 minutes, the experiment was complete when the temperature stabilized. In conclusion, the fastest way to cool a soda was the soda in the freezer at -2 degrees Celsius. The other methods did not make the soda as cold and as fast as the freezer. The refrigerator soda dropped to 13 degrees Celsius, the ice cubes dropped to 2 degrees Celsius, and the ice bath dropped to 4 degrees in an hour. Overall, it can be concluded that if one wants a cooled soda at a fast rate, the freezer would be the best method to use.
PURPOSE
The purpose of my experiment is to determine the fastest method to cool a can of soda at room temperature using four alternative methods: Freezer, Refrigerator, Ice Cubes, and Ice Bath.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
All matter is made of atoms and molecules that are constantly in motion. Even in solids, the molecules are constantly vibrating. Heat is a measure of the average
