Balance A Soda Can On Its Bevel Lab Report
In this experiment we balanced a soda can on its “bevel”. First we filled the soda can all the way with water and after several attempts the can did not balance on its side. We concluded that the reason the can wouldn't balance correctly was because the center of gravity was not directly over the point where the can needed to be balanced. So we decided to change the location of the center of gravity. By emptying the water in soda can to about only ⅓ of the way filled, we were able to change the location of gravity to the right location and we were able to successfully balance the can. Then to test if the soda can was properly balanced we gave the can a slight push and it returned back to its stable position on its bevel.

    During this laboratory exercise we attempted to show that the force of gravity has the same effect on all falling bodies near the earth. We intended to show this by dropping several objects in normal atmospheric conditions, and in a vacuum chamber. Our tests showed that while everyday experience may indicate that not all objects fall toward the earth at the same rate, they are submitted to the same force of gravity.…

    Density of Sprite

    In chemistry, accuracy and precision are very important. Accuracy is the degree of conformity of a literature value and precision is a degree to which further calculated values show similar result. In this lab, the volume of the solution (diet or regular) is measured using the Pipette, Burette, and Graduated Cylinder respectively. The mass of the solution is then measured to calculate the density of the soda. Density is mass of a substance per unit volume2. How heavy the substance is according to its size or volume. The volume of liquid is measured in mL and mass in grams. Since, the density of water is 1g/cm3 ; therefore Diet Sprite's density should be equal to or a little bit more then water. The hypothesis was that regular Sprite will have higher density because it has a higher sugar concentration present which increases the mass per volume ratio of the solution. In this experiment only regular Sprite was used. The results are then compared to another group which calculated the density of Diet Sprite.…

    We, human needs energy to live and for movements. Thus, we eat and combust food to release its heat energy in our bodies. In this experiment, we will determine how much heat energy released when we eat snack foods such as popcorn or potato chips. This lab includes three burning tests of different foods with different energy contents. Calorimetry is the science associated with determining the changes in energy of a system by measuring the heat exchanged with the surroundings(Calorimeters and Calorimetry). It requires us to create a soda can calorimeter which is a soda can with water inside in order to absorb heat energy and determine the temperature changes of water in soda can. These three different foods with different measurement of energy contents that participated in this lab are potato chips, popcorns, and raw pasta noodle. All three participants are all flammable. Because of the Law of Conservation of energy which states that energy cannot…

    In this lab, we brought emptied out aluminum cans.We filled these cans with a small amount of water. We began to boil the water to convert liquid to gas and exert gas particles. After the can was placed on the heating plate, we got a container of cold water. Soon later, the water inside the can was creating steam that was becoming more and more visible. Once we believed the water was hot enough, we got tongs to pick the can up. By picking up the can, the gas particles began to receive more space to move around away from each other, as the hot water was moving around. We held the can above the container of cold water, which had particles moving around each other. Once the can was placed in the water, the can was crushed. The can was crushed…

    Chemical equilibrium is the point at which the concentrations of reactants and products do not change with time. It would appear as if the reaction has stopped, but in fact, the rates of the forward and reverse reactions are equal, causing the reactants and products to be created at the same rate. This can be expressed mathematically in the form of the equilibrium constant. The following is the general equation for a reversible chemical reaction:…

    His job—human labeling, assigning colors to every individual: white, black, red and yellow. He knew full well the importance of such identification, for in the society where these humans are to be assigned, color coding, also known as racial classification, is critical because it constructs access to power, prestige, and economic gain. In this system, race is a social institution and arrangement, classifying labor, housing, and political representation along racial lines, thereby allowing one to produce and reproduce real-life differences (Glen 14). Unfortunately, his once perfect human labeling system malfunctioned when the black and white colors began to mix. This malfunction caused havoc within the assigned structured and segregated society.…
