Percent compositon
Formal Percent Composition Lab Report
Percent Composition is the composition of space given as a percentage. This is the percent composition formula, that would help us solve our experiment. Percent composition is important because it shows how much a certain substance is comprised of one component or other
Percent composition is used in our everyday life's. For example if you want to measure how much sugar you have ate. Or how much calories have you gained. Or just how we did in our lab report how we found the amount of sugar in our gums.
The goal of this project is to figure out how much sugar is in the gum before and after it is chewed. As well as to how the mass has changed on the gum after being chewed.
My over all hypothesis would be that after the gum is chewed the mass of the gum would decrease because we are taking flavor away from the gum itself.
Procedure
The steps to perform this lab is for 4 students to get each of the 3 gums. Weight them before chewed and after chewed for the right amount of time. Make sure that after chewing the gum place it on the rapper for it to be weighted with rapper. Do these steps for all 3 gums at all in their appropriate time and record the data.
The independent variable of this experiment would be the time and the type of gum used and chewed, and the dependent variable would be the percent of composition of sugar, while the controls in the experiment is the Increments of time measured, and all measurements will be measured with wrapper on. The only safety issues on this experiment would be that you can swallow the gum and you would have to get a new one. The concerns would be that someone could chew the gum for more or less of the amount of time that they were supposed to, making the experiments results inaccurate.
