The name of the alka seltzer project is named “The Dropouts.” The significance of that name is that the owners of the machine are very close to dropping out school themselves. Ultimately‚ the goal of the machine would be to pop a balloon and to blow out a candle. The goal would be achieved by using the potential energy in the balloon‚ popping it‚ and using the now present kinetic energy‚ which is the air‚ to blow out the flame of the candle. The final products would be a popped balloon and a blown

by mass of NaCO3 in Alka-Seltzer Tablets Alka-Seltzer is an effervescent antacid typically used for pain relief and neutralizing stomach acid to alleviate indigestion. Alka-Seltzer tablets contain Aspirin‚ Citric Acid (CH3COOH)‚ and Sodium Bicarbonate (NaCO3). When the tablet is placed in water it undergoes an acid-base reaction and Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is a byproduct that causes the notorious “Fizz”. The objective of the lab was to measure the % of NaCO3 in an Alka-Seltzer tablet in different

Looking for a Gas Gas is everywhere. There is something called the atmosphere. That’s a big layer of gas that surrounds the Earth. Gases are random groups of atoms. In solids‚ atoms and molecules are compact and close together. Liquids have atoms that are spread out a little more. Gases are really spread out and the atoms and molecules are full of energy. They are bouncing around constantly. Gases can fill a container of any size or shape. It doesn’t even matter how big the container is. The

What factors will make an Alka-Seltzer tablet dissolve faster? My theory is that the Alka-Seltzer will dissolve faster in the warm water and slower in the cold water because the more heat something has the more energy the atoms or molecules in the object get. So in hot water the molecules inside are moving around really fast and have tons of energy to dissolve the tablet while in cold water the molecules are still moving around but at a slower pace therefore taking longer to dissolve the tablet.

2012 1. Title and Author 1. The Effect of Extreme Temperatures on the Rate of Photosynthesis 2. Jeffrey Xia 2. Abstract A previous lab in which we conducted‚ tested whether or not the light intensity had an effect on the rate of photosynthesis. We concluded that light intensity did possess an effect on the rate of photosynthesis – the closer the experimental plant units were to the light source‚ the more experimental plant units exhibited the effect of gas exchange in photosynthesis. Therefore

FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT ITEM: Chemistry of Life Practical Investigation Term 1 Task: Investigation of a Factor Affecting Enzyme ActionAspects Assessed: D DCP CE MS Introduction:Thousands of enzymes are found in living cells. In addition to making life possible‚ many enzymes have numerous applications that affect our daily lives in other ways such as food processing‚ clinical diagnoses‚ sewage treatment‚ and the textile industry. In this activity you will investigate how a particular factor

Abstract: This project looks at how the temperature of an experiment can affect its reaction time. The purpose of this experiment is to determine if dissolving reactions are affected by waters temperature. I believe that if the H2O temperature increases‚ then the Alka-Seltzer tablet will dissolve faster because the hot water molecules will move faster colliding with the tablet particles. Water will be the independent variable due to the fact is will always stay in its same form throughout the

The Effect of Temperature on Solubility By Aviraj Singh Rogers 2 Background: The solubility of most solid substances is generally said to increase as the temperature of the solvent increases. However‚ some substances‚ such as ytterbium sulfate‚ do the opposite. This can be explained through the Second Law of Thermodynamics which states that “in all energy exchanges‚ if no energy enters or leaves the system‚ the potential energy of the state will always be less than that of the initial state”

Research Question Does the concentration of substrate (H2O2 (hydrogen peroxide)) have an effect on the activity of the enzyme (catalase)? Theory The higher the substrate concentration the more quickly product is produced (rate of reaction increases) until enzyme saturation is reached at which time more substrate has no further effect. Enzymes such as Catalase are protein molecules which are found in living cells. They are used to speed up specific reactions in the cells. They are all
