Tap Water Experiment
Hypothesis: If..., then... Materials:
1. 2 Plastic cups
2. Tap Water
3. Teaspoon
4. Bag of salt
5. Freezer
6. Clock
7. Paper
8. Pencil

Procedures:
1. Take plastic cup and pour in one cup water in each
2. Take one teaspoon of salt and mix it in one of cups
3. Put both cups in the freezer
4. Observe.

Conclusion: When salt is added to water it slows the freezing process down, therefore the freezing point of tap water is higher than the freezing point of salt water.

    My hypothesis stated that I believed salts with a larger density will increase the temperature of the ice faster than salts with a smaller density because the heavier salts will sink through the ice faster since they have a heavier density than water and stop the molecules from staying ice faster, consequently raising the temperature of the solution, than lower density salts would. . The data I collected shows potassium chloride, which has a density of 1.98 g/㎤, increased the solution’s temperature at a faster rate than any of the other solutions. Using the data I collected, I can unequivocally state that my data did not support my hypothesis. Potassium chloride had the fifth highest density out of the seven salts I used in my experiment. The highest density salt I used, sodium carbonate, had no change in temperature. I do not think there were any outliers in my data because none of the temperatures of the salts went beyond a range of 6°C.…

    What Makes Ice Melt Faster

    For the ice cream maker, because the rock salt lowers the freezing point of the ice, the temperature of the ice/rock salt mixture can go below the normal freezing point of water. This makes it possible to freeze the ice cream mixture in the inner container of the ice cream machine. For the salt spread on streets in wintertime, the lowered freezing point means that snow and ice can melt even when the weather is below the normal freezing point of water. Both the ice cream maker and road salt are examples of freezing point depression.…

    * Salt works by lowering the freezing temperature of water. Salt water needs to reach a colder temperature than pure water to freeze. This is why salted ice on roads that are near the freezing temperature of pure water (32 degrees Fahrenheit) will melt and not refreeze immediately. The ice forms very salty water that will not freeze unless…

    Trouble the Water is not solely about Hurricane Katrina and its calamitous aftermath, but it is an honest, raw footage that displayed how America treats its poor and displaced citizens, particularly in time of dire need. Given U. S impressive response to humanitarian crises, and use of the top of the line gadgets to combat enemies in war-torn zones, the disappointing non-governmental response in New Orleans begs to question the capability of the U.S to response to disaster within its own country. A closer look at the tragedy of Hurricane Katrina will reveal the unfortunate truth of negligence, overt racism and insensitivity. Though all encompassing, this essay examines the documentary from the lens of structural violence as it relates to the general poor and African American.…

    Essay On Salt Water

    • 416 Words
    • 2 Pages

    People have been using salt since 6050 bc.We have used it for seasoning, preservation, and in the last century for lowering the freezing point of water(History of Salt). In pure water 0 degrees celsius is the normal freezing point of water. Ice will melt just as fast the water will freeze. You won't see the melting and freezing processes as long as they are balanced and equal. Adding salt or any foreign substance to the water upsets the fragile equality between freezing and melting. Less of the water molecules reach the surface of the ice in an amount of given time. The melting rate isn't changed by the salt, so melting is going to happen faster than the freezing. This makes the ice melt(Frederick A. Senese, Why can adding salt to ice water make the ice melt slower?).…

    Fresh water always freezes at 0℃, but that is not always so for water with salt inside. The higher amount of salt there is in the water, the more the freezing point decreases. So, salt water freezes later than freshwater. The exact measurement of how they impact each other is this: every 5 psu increase, the freezing point decreases by 28%.. In an ocean, there is frazil and brine. Frazil are ice crystals suspended in water, and they are made of nearly pure freshwater. Frazil is the first stages of the growth of sea ice. Brine are salt droplets. Sometime brine can get trapped in frazil. Since all salt pools together for brine and all freshwater accumulates for frazil, frazil freezes while brine doesn't (the level of freezing is much higher for brine as it has a very high level of salinity.) Sometimes, Salinity can be…

    Salt Water Experiment

    • 1129 Words
    • 5 Pages

    If you don’t know, a freezing point is the limit water can go to before it freezes. For regular water, this is 32 degrees Fahrenheit. A boiling point is the limit water can go to before it boils. For regular water, this is 212 degrees Fahrenheit. While I did this experiment, I used Celsius. That’s what was on the thermometer. After doing the experiment, I had to research it to find out more about salt and the effect it has on water. It turns out my hypothesis was correct. Salt did change the freezing and boiling point of water. And not just the ocean and salt water is affected by this. During winter, people put salt on the icy roads to make it safer to drive on. Now you may be asking yourself “why? There is still going to be ice on the roads.” Well, that’s where you’re wrong. The ice is already below 32 degrees Fahrenheit, but putting salt on top of the ice automatically lowers the freezing point, thus melting the ice back into a liquid. This is why the ocean doesn’t completely freeze. During winter, the temperature around the world is different. But at one point or another, the temperature gets below 32 degrees. 97% of the ocean is seawater…

    So for the past several months, I have found myself head deep in an ocean of confusion, paranoia, and lack of intellectual comprehension or as I like to call it creativity.

    Dissolve Styrofoam cups in a series of 500ml beakers containing increasing volumes of acetone. For example, fill five beakers with 10 ml, 20 ml, 50ml, 100ml and 200ml of acetone. Place a stack of five 6-oz. Styrofoam cups in each beaker and measure the amount of time it takes for the stack to dissolve. Continue adding one cup at a time to the acetone until the acetone no longer dissolves the cups. Repeat the experiment three to five times for each volume to get an average time and an average number of cups.…
