Exploring Sugar Content
My hypothesis for this experiment was correct. If the density and percentage of sugar is known in the sugar solutions then certain soft drinks can be determined. The purpose of this lab was to discover the amount of sugar content in the soft drinks used in the lab, based on their density. The experiment did not come out as correctly as it could have the density was supposed to increase as the sugar content increased.
The experiment could have been conducted better if the sample of 10% sugar sample would have came out at a different mass. The results of the experiment were, mostly standard and came out pretty clear. The huggie came out with a percentage of 5.4% sugar content the package says it should be 0.9% sugar content in each.

    1 M Sucrose Lab

    The first experiment with 1 M sucrose in the bag and distilled water in the beaker had almost exactly the same results. The masses were relatively the same the difference have could been from the amount of liquid that was placed inside of each of the bags. The second experiment with 5% Ovalbumin in the bag and 1 M sucrose in the beaker had almost exactly the same results. The masses were relatively the same the difference could have been from the amount of liquid that was placed inside the bag.…

    Labratory Techniques and Measurments

    Part 3: I used the scale to determine the molecular weight then calculated the volume of the sugar using the flask. With the information gathered I used this to calculate molarity. Next I dissolved the sugar in the water and took the mass and found density. I used this to calculate concentration of both solutions.…

    Lab for Chemistry

    The purpose of the Density Lab was to determine the identity of four unknown solids and two unknown liquids by calculating their densities and comparing them to a density chart, taking into account error analysis and finally classifying the substances. In order to calculate this density, we first found the mass of the container that was to be holding the substances. We then found the volume of the substance, and lastly determined the mass of the container and substance. We subtracted (Container + Substance) – Container to find the mass of simply the substance. In order to distinguish density, we took the final mass divided by the volume, and identified the substances based on Density Charts we found online. Originally we hypothesized that we would be able to identify these substances based on the densities we calculated, yet this proved to be harder than it seemed, however our hypothesis was correct. We now could concluded the densities and identification. The density of Unknown Liquid 1 was 1.26 which was found to be Colorless Glycerin (also density of 1.26) and Unknown Liquid 2 was 0.88 or Rubbing Alcohol (colorless). Unknown Solid 1 has a density of 7.20 or Iron, Solid 2 is 2.59 and Aluminum, Solid 3 is 5.47 and Tin, while Solid 4 has a density of 9.81and Nickel? We…

    Essay On Gummy Bears

    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.…

    America is slipping further and further into health crisis and no one is being responsible for their part in it. While watching this documentary I was not only shocked by what I was hearing and learning, but disgusted by it. Taking notes on facts and statements being said I ended up with a variety of things that I wrote down. Anything from scary real facts to statements made comparing food to lethal drugs and the food industry to that of the Tabaco industry. There are several facts and/or statements that I want to point out, the main one being sugar.…

    Density of Sprite

    In chemistry, accuracy and precision are very important. Accuracy is the degree of conformity of a literature value and precision is a degree to which further calculated values show similar result. In this lab, the volume of the solution (diet or regular) is measured using the Pipette, Burette, and Graduated Cylinder respectively. The mass of the solution is then measured to calculate the density of the soda. Density is mass of a substance per unit volume2. How heavy the substance is according to its size or volume. The volume of liquid is measured in mL and mass in grams. Since, the density of water is 1g/cm3 ; therefore Diet Sprite's density should be equal to or a little bit more then water. The hypothesis was that regular Sprite will have higher density because it has a higher sugar concentration present which increases the mass per volume ratio of the solution. In this experiment only regular Sprite was used. The results are then compared to another group which calculated the density of Diet Sprite.…

    How Much Sugar Lab Report

    The purpose of the lab is to find how much sugar is in a potato. I have found that my hypothesis “If I change the amount of sucrose in the solution, then percent change will be a negative percent and show me how much sugar is in a potato which is about 0.5g of sugar because increasing sucrose solutions outside the cell creates a hypertonic solution or hypotonic cell and the water inside the potato will go to the sugar outside the potato.” was proven wrong from the graph of my data which showed with a line that falls on zero that that is where it is isotonic and that is how much sugar is in the potato.…

    Hidden Sugar Research Paper

    Hidden sugar is a major contributing factor in the obesity epidemic affecting America. Food manufacturers often utilize names and titles for sugar that the common public are unlikely to recognize. A few examples of these names are, maltose, malt syrup, maltodextrin, and HFCS or High Fructose Corn Syrup. Dietary sugars when consumed in excessive quantities, result in weight gain. Often, Americans do not realize how much of these hidden sugars are in their consumables and can not accurately estimate their consumption. This dilemma results in undesirable weight gain for even the most health conscious individuals.…

    Factors Affecting the Movement of Water Through Osmosis

I predict that the more sugar concentration there is, the rate of osmosis will increase and therefore will have an effect on the results of the experiment.…
