How Does Citric Acid Affect The Amount Of Sodium Bicarbonate
To investigate the results of the different amounts of sodium bicarbonate (2g,4,8g),when put in the baking process to produce cupcakes,obtained by the change of height of a cupcake measured by a ruler,when baked at 180 degrees celsius for 20 minutes when measured with a ruler.
Research question:
What will be the result of adding different amounts sodium bicarbonate (2g,4g,8g) in a standard (vanilla) cupcake ,when they are baked at 180 degrees celsius over a period of 20 minutes using an oven thermometer and the height measured with a ruler?
Hypothesis
In this lab,if the amount of bicarbonate of soda (2g,4g,8g) increases in a cupcake then the height (cm) of the cupcake will rise this is due to the fact of the reaction between the sodium bicarbonate and the acid(lemon juice) in the cake,and as a result the cupcake will rise.Approximately 5 percent of lemon juice is citric acid, when an acid and a base are involved in a chemical reaction , a new product is produced, with a neutral base. In the case of lemon juice and sodium bicarbonate, carbon dioxide gas, water and a salt is produced.The chemical formula of this reaction is H3C6H5O7(aq) + 3NaHCO3(aq) → Na3C6H5O7(aq) + 3 H2O(l) + 3 CO2(g).

    The objective of the lab was to measure the % of NaCO3 in an Alka-Seltzer tablet in different measures of an acidic solution (Vinegar). Through understanding of stoichiometric relationships and limiting reactants, quantities of substances yielded or consumed in a reaction can be determined by analyzing the amount of material involved. A vinegar-water solution is employed in this experiment because a fixed amount of NaCO3 can be reacted in pure water, by manipulating the amount of vinegar in the dissolving solution, the amount of acid capable of reacting increases; resulting in a greater amount of NaCO3 reacted and greater generation of CO2. Percent by mass of NaCO3 that has reacted can be determined by using mass difference and dimensional analysis to relate the amount of CO2 produced to the amount NaCO3.…

    Purpose: This lab taught procedures for determining heat of capacity of a calorimeter and measuring enthalpy of change for three reactions. It also enforced methods of analyzing data obtained through experimentation and calculating enthalpy. These procedures are used in the branch of thermodynamics known as thermochemistry which is the study of energy changes that accompany chemical reactions. Concepts from this lab can be used to determine the potential energy of a chemical reaction. Much of the energy people depend on comes from chemical reactions. For example, energy can be obtained by burning fuel, metabolizing of food or discharging a batter.…

    For the firsts three sets of titration trials of baking soda powder was used. About 0.3 grams of baking soda powder were measured and mixed with 20mL of deionized water in a beaker. Three drops of the indicator bromothymol blue were put in the baking soda solution and mixed well. A burette and funnel were rinsed off using water and cleaned well. The burette and funnel were rinsed a second time using 5mL of the HCl solution that was prepared the previous week and disposed of in a clean beaker. The rest of the HCl solution was then put in the burette. The beaker containing the baking soda solution was placed under the burette. 1mL of the HCl solution was released at a time into the beaker with the baking soda until a change was observed. The results were recorded. The process was repeated three more times and the results were recorded. For the second sets of titration trails, fresh squeezed lemon juice was used. 5mL of lemon juice were used and three drops of the indicator phenolphthalein were put in the juice. The burette was then rinsed off with water and rinsed off a second time using NaOH and disposed of in a clean beaker. The rest of the NaOH solution was put in the burette and the beaker containing the lemon juice was placed under the burette. 1mL of the NaOH solution were released at a time into the beaker containing the lemon juice until changes were observed. The results were…

    The limiting reagent is acetic acid from 0-20 Ml while baking soda is the excess. When the volume of vinegar was increase, more sodium bicarbonate reacted and more CO2 was produced. The percent by mass of the reached sodium bicarbonate rose with increasing amounts of vinegar. The limiting reagent is baking soda from 25-35 ml while acetic acid is the excess. The percent by mass reacted sodium bicarbonate in the tablet increased with the amount of vinegar used and then came to a steady value. The amount of CO2 produced was the same as the quantity of sodium bicarbonate in the tablet. When the volume of acetic acid was 0, the mass of CO2 (loss of mass) is 0.68g. This was found by subtracting the total mass of beaker and contents after reaction. The mass of NaHCO3 in tablet is 1.3g. This was found by multiplying the mass of CO2 produced and molar mass NaHCO3 and then dividing that by molar mass CO2. The percent of NaHCO3 in tablet when the volume of acetic acid was 0 was 415. This was found by…
