There is history of similar projects and the carbonated drink was Coke. The meats used were steak, chicken breast, …show more content…
The purpose of the project was to see if Dr. Pepper is a meat tenderizer like Coke. The type of meat used which were pork chop, beef roast, and chicken breast is the independent variable. The mass of meat in grams is the dependent variable. The constants are the size of the beaker, temperature of the air surrounding, the amount of Dr. Pepper, the time the meat spent in the Dr. Pepper, and the original mass of meat. The results after being in the Dr. Pepper is the pork chop 16.1 grams, chicken breast 13.5 grams, beef roast 13.1 grams. The results of the distilled water were and vinegar were.The hypothesis which stated that the mass of the pork chop will increase was supported because the results was 16.1 grams and the chicken breast and beef roast results came out to the thirteens. If the experiment was repeated the type of meat would be changed and the type carbonated drink would change just to see if more than just Coke and Dr. Pepper are meat tenderizers. The possible experimental errors are the way the meat is weighed either with the Dr. Pepper all drained off or some of the Dr. Pepper still dripping off of the meat can change the mass of the meat if the other meats were weighed the other way. The beaker used could have been contaminating the meat inside of the beaker causing the meat to react in any different
