To What Extent Do Solid Crystals That Form Better Between Sugar And Unionized Salts
In this experiment I conducted a test to see if solid crystals would form better between sugar and unionized salts. Also under two different temperatures, would this effect the size at all. My overall hypothesis was to test at what rate and size would crystals grow in sugar vs salt at different temperatures, and that I thought the salt would produce a greater amount of crystal deposits. My method was hanging a string from a pencil immersed in the different solutions. My results were similar in both tests. Both the salts in the temperatures grew small amount of crystals on the strings where the sugars did not display any formation within 24 hours. The chemical differences between the two solutions are apparent. Salt or NaOH, when uniodized does not have that chemical iodine additive to it. Whereas sugar is a more complex molecule with a variety of elements, known as, C12H22O11. I wanted to see the difference in three dimensions between …show more content…
How the experiment was conducted was first I got the four glasses out and filled each three quarters the way full with water for a measurement. I then poured two glasses of the water into two separate pots and let boil. As soon as they boiled I added the salt to one, sugar to the other, until the solutions were completely saturated. Then very carefully, I poured the salt mixture into two cups, and the sugar mixture into the other cups, being sure the keep the levels equal. With the four pencils I tied a shoe string to the middles, cut long enough to just barely touch the bottom of each cup with the bottom of the string. I then, placed the pencils on top of the glasses and covered each with plastic wrap. One of each of the salt and sugar was placed on the counter and the others placed in the fridge. Measuring the temperature of each having 66 degrees in the room and 32 in the refrigerator. This was let stand for 24

    The first step was to prepare the two filter paper for the experiment so you can measure the different columns at the end of the experiment. For that to happen you have to draw a horizontal line with a pencil. The line has to be 1cm above the bottom. After that you draw nine cross lines along the horizontal line with a space between each cross line of 1.5cm. Now you have to mark each area with a shortcut of the substance you are going to put on the horizontal line. The next step is to prepare each of your substances in the 24-well plate. Once you put all the substances in the well plate and dissolved the color from the M&Ms and Kool Aid with some drops of water, you dip a clean toothpick in the dye. You mark carefully a little point on the horizontal in the center of the section you marked with the substance and make sure the point is not too big because otherwise the experiment won’t work as good. The filter paper needs to dry for a few minutes before you form both to a cylinder and staple it so it stays a cylinder. Before you can keep going with the experiment you have to take a 50ml plastic beaker and fill that one with 50ml distilled water, solve a pinch salt in the water and stir until you can’t see crystals anymore. Pour a little bit of that solution in a petri dish but make sure it will be below the horizontal line you draw on the filter paper. Set…

    Each substance was observed inside their containers and the hypotheses were based on these observations. The volumes of each substance was then measured inside their containers. Each substance was then weighed and density calculated. After, each substance was observed under magnifying glass, smelled and touched to determine texture. Lastly, each substance was tested for solubility.…

    For this experiment my hypothesis was correct. The purpose of this experiment was achieved by observing and finding out the characteristics of each substance. The sugar turned brown and smelled good when heated, salt turned black and smelled like burnt rubber when heated, dirt turned to mud when water was added, and baking soda started to bubble when vinegar was added. According to table 1 the data shows that the unknown substance had similar characteristics to both sugar and dirt. And so to find out if my hypothesis was correct or not experiments were carried out based on tests that were characteristics of either sugar or dirt. One experiment was heating the unknown substance to check if it would start drying up and bubbling brown. The other was adding water to test if it would turn into mud. Some mistakes that could be improved in the experiment next time is- making sure not to pour a lot of salt into the beaker when heating it, since there was a lot of salt when heating it the smell was more nastier and shocking. Also when heating the dirt not to let it burn for a long time because when washing it, it was hard to get some of the dirt…

    In part II of the Organic Compounds in Foods lab, we to examining whether or not the starch in the saltine cracker can chemically break down in sugar with the presence of salivary amylase, which is an enzyme found in your mouth which assists in digestion. My group and I were instructed to obtain a saltine cracker from our teacher and chew on it for approximately 2 minutes. After concluding the chewing, we then grabbed a beaker and spit our slimy and chewed cracker into it. Subsequently, to get results my group and I placed the beakers in the water bath where it heated for 3-5 minutes. We needed to put it in the water bath because for best results enzymes must be in hot temperatures and water.…

    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.…

    The first step in this experiment was to ask a question. My question was what is the identity of the six unknown substances? The second step was to create a hypothesis based on what I already know about each unknown substance. Third step was to test my hypotheses by using six methods. The first method was to determine the color of each substance. The second method I used was to calculate the density of each substance. I did this by first estimating the volume and then weighing each substance with a digital scale. To calculate the density I divided the mass by volume. The third method is to use the magnifying lens and look at the shape of each substance particle. Along with determining the shape I also recorded the texture and smell for each substance. The last step was to text the solubility of each substance. I did this by mixing each substance in 6 different test tubes with 5 ml of distill water. I shook each tube to see if the substance dissolved. After completing all 6 steps…
