In our lab we measured the rate of sublimation of dry ice. We have to experiment on how dry ice goes from a solid to gas by measuring the temps of each sample of dry ice with a different amount of water. Measurements are important in this lab to record accurate data to confirm which variables affect the rate of sublimation of dry ice. In our experiment we measured the temperature(dependent variable) of dry ice in different volumes of of water. The materials were dry ice, beaker, thermometer, graduated cylinder, and a scale. We measured the temperature every minute for 4 minutes. To keep the test fair, we decided to use only 5 grams of dry ice for each trial. We conducted 3 trials in total with different amounts of water(independent variable)
The dependent variable in the experiment was the temperature and energy absorbed by the water.
Hypothesis: If the sugar in the ice cubes will cause the ice cubes to melt quicker than the ones without it. Equipment: 1 tablespoon (20 g) White Sugar 280 ml of water (this needed to be divided in half for the different types of ice cubes, so 140 ml for each ice tray and 10 ml for each cube) 2 ice trays (with 14 cube slots) Freezer 2 Plates Measuring jug Stopwatch
Procedure: Using distilled water, premeasured containers and objects determine displacement of fluids and density of objects. Use ice and heat measure temperatures in Celsius, Fahrenheit and Kelvin.
In this lab experiment our main focus was to get skillful in using tools such as the metric ruler, balances, thermometer, and graduated cylinder to capture measurements of length, mass, temperature and volume. Additionally, this lab helped us to become more familiar with the uncertainty of measurements, as well as becoming efficient with rounding our measurements to the correct numbers of significant figures. Our results are measured consistently with rounding to the closest answer we could possibly acquire as the data can tell you.
Dry ice is a solid form of carbon dioxide that produces a cold dense mist. I first learned what Dry Ice was in fifth grade, this was due to the fact that my class had taken a field trip to River Legacy Park. Where we saw an experiment and learned facts about dry ice. This led to a fascination with dry ice, in this experiment I will test whether the temperature of water and soda affect when poured over Dry ice. Dry Ice has multiple purposes some of which, is chemotherapy, to carbonate liquids, store food, and accelerate plant growth. Since, I always liked the thought of working with Dry Ice I had begun to think of an experiment to do for the IA involving Dry Ice. After much consideration I choose to test how soda and water would
11. The experiment was repeated three more times using different water temperatures (room temp water, cold temp water, hot temp water).
Variables: In this experiment, the temperature (in degrees Celsius) of the chemicals is the independent variable. To change the temperature, the materials are placed in a bath of water being heated by a hotplate.
In order to fulfil the labs purpose, the lab was split into two parts. The first part consisted of measuring and determining the freezing point depression of the solution water. The second part consisted of measuring and determining the freezing point depression of a solution that consisted of water and an unknown solute.
The purpose of this experiment is to measure the reaction of the ice melting when exposed to another solid element. The environment is a kitchen with a stable temperature and testing space. Repeating the tests three times will provide different data which will then be averaged for each element. For each test, calculate the percentage of the ice cube melted by [mass of melt water/initial mass of ice cube] x 100.
Abstract: This experiment introduced the student to lab techniques and measurements. It started with measuring length. An example of this would be the length of a nickel, which is 2cm. The next part of the experiment was measuring temperature. I found that water boils around 95ºC at 6600ft. Ice also has a significant effect on the temperature of water from the tap. Ice dropped the temperature about 15ºC. Volumetric measurements were the basis of the 3rd part of the experiment. It was displayed during this experiment that a pipet holds about 4mL and that there are approximately 27 drops/mL from a short stem pipet. Part 4 introduced the student to measuring
2. Some of the outside variables that could have affected our outcomes for the experiment are the ambient temperature and how quickly the groups took the hot dogs out of the ice water to measure their temperatures. The ambient temperature was 28 degrees Celsius, the coldest temperatures of the hot dogs ranged from 35 to 37 degrees Celsius, so for the groups that measured their hot dogs’ temperature quicker, they gave their hot dogs a head start in the warming process. For groups that were not as quick with their measurements, their hot dogs starting warming up at a later time, so by the time the experiment was over, their temperatures would have been lower than the groups that measured quickly. We did not control these outside variables because we did not increase or decrease the room temperature by turning on the AC.
The scientific question of the project was, Does the size of a tire affect the bike’s speed? The hypothesis was , If the smaller tires were used, then the bike would go faster. The important procedures were: Make sure all equipment is ready. Test the standard wheel of 1 rotation or pedal a second to ride to the finish line. Test smaller and bigger wheels. Record data and have at least 3 trials. Record the data on a piece of paper and compare results to your hypothesis. The Independent variable is the size of the wheel on the bike. The Dependent variable is the standard wheel or tire on the bike. The control group was the bike’s speed and the standard wheel or tire. The Experimental group is the other tires or wheels being tested on the bike. The control variables were the rate of pedaling , the same bike model was used, and the same distance for
Description of Experiment:In this experiment to test the effect of colder temperatures on goldfish respiration rate.We started with a beaker
The independent variable was the temperature in degrees Celsius. The higher temperature was 27 degrees Celsius, the control setting was 21 degrees Celsius. The heating and cooling of the room during the experiment is the variation between the two randomly assigned groups.
In this experiment hollowed out eggs were soaked in coke, tea and coffee for five days to see which drink would discolor teeth the most. As stated in the data interpretation coke discolored the egg the most. My hypothesis was incorrect and contradicted my results. I thought that tea would stain the egg the most but the results proved that Coke stained the egg the most. The eg in this experiment was used to resemble a tooth because the egg's shell is much like the enamel on our teeth. The independent variable was the drinks and the dependant variable was the progress of discoloration. Coke discolored the egg the most for three days, tea discolored the egg for two days, and coke stained the egg the most zero days.
