Observation And Patterns In A Candle Lab
There were a numerous amount of observations and patterns in the data throughout the candle lab. The hypothesis was if the amount of candles inside the jar increases by an increment of one, then the weight of water in the jar will increase as well. The hypothesis was proven to be true, since for every candle added there was about 33 grams of water more. Every time the jar was placed over the candles, there would always be bubbles around the rim, also as more candles were used, the jar became cloudier and the bottom of the jar became more charred. The bottom of the jar also got hot, and after the jar was taken off the candles there would be grey smoke. The flame got larger as more candles were added, and the smell remained constant. With more

    In this experiment, the molecular weight of a condensed vapor was found through a procedure using an unknown liquid. The flask before adding the unknown liquid in was full of air. After the beaker full of water started to boil the flask was examined until the unknown liquid was completely vaporized. At that exact point the flask contained all vapor. At the final weighing the flask contained condensed vapor and air. There is always a chance for error. Some sources of error could have come with completing this lab over an open water bath and some water vapor may have been in place. Also, too much vapor could have escaped and the experiment might not have been stopped quick…

    The lab was not infallible, however, as the samples could have been easily contaminated, mixed, or out of order. Also, burning the woods splints caused the flames to appear orange, affecting the results in several possible ways. The results seemed similar to each other and many of them seemed to share a slightly orange hue, perhaps because the splint was being burned unintentionally at the same time. The first unknown was identified as Calcium due to the similarities in color and the second unknown was identified as strontium for the same reason. For future experimenters, the solutions should be labeled so that in the future, the chance for error is dramatically…

    Tirrill Burn Experiment

    The very first experiment had the hypothesis that the temperature of a burner flame can be controlled by adjusting the ratio of gas to air in the mixture to be burned. During this experiment, my partner and I gathered our materials of the paper matches, straight pins, copper wire, laboratory burners, rubber tubing, tongs, and evaporating dish. Making sure we had our safety goggles on and the material we needed, we connected the Tirrill burner into the gas and lit the burner with the match, having the air vents closed and the gas on. When the burner was lit, we noticed that the flame had a luminous, smoky yellow appearance. We then used a pair of tongs to hold the evaporating dish towards the top of the flame for 10 to 20 seconds. We observed…

    Suffocation is the main cause of death during fire, and by the help of this experiment we can know that when there is a fire and you are standing, you are easily suffocate and when you duck you can avoid the suffocation because during a fire the warmer air particles goes up so the smoke and the oxygen also goes up that can cause suffocation while the colder air goes down. So it is better to duck during fire to avoid suffocation. Like in the experiment, the longest candle goes the fire out first because it has no more space that it already reached the top of the beaker and the water is also high. And the shortest candle’s light goes out last because the shortest candle has more space than the longest candle so it has more oxygen to use and it will last longer than the taller…

    The wick used in a candle is an absorbent twine and must have strong capillary action. When the wick is lit, the wax around the wick will melt due to the heat of the flame. The capillary action of the wick will absorb the melted wax and pull it upwards. When the wax is exposed to the flame, it will vaporize and the wax vapor burns. The wick does not burn as quickly, because the vaporizing wax will help to cool the temperature of the wick and protect it.…
