FIRE RESISTANT BALLOON: Materials - 1 matchbox - 1 candle - 1 yellow colored balloon - 1 blue colored balloon - Half a cup of water Procedure: 1. For this experiment‚ the independent variable is whether the balloon is filled with water or not. The dependent variable is what happens to the balloon when it is placed above the lit candle. This is determined by observing the balloon. The constants (control variables) are how much the balloon is inflated and the amount

EXPERIMENT 1: REACTIONS OF ENOLATE IONS WITH CARBONYL GROUPS Aims In this experiment we used two techniques for the reactions of enolate ions with carbonyl groups. One technique used was Doebner reaction and the other technique used was Claisen-Schmidt reaction. Therefore the aim of this experiment is to synthesize trans p-methoxycinnamic acid and to synthesize dibenzalacetone via an aldol condensation reaction between acetone and benzaldehyde. The products would be recrystallized using ethanol

Our objective for the Sherlock Holmes Experiment was to illustrate that some chemicals can be identified or differentiated by simple chemical tests‚ such as solubility‚ pH‚ or color tests. In our group we had to test come common powders such as Alka-Seltzer‚ baking soda‚ flour‚ Vitamin C (ascorbic acid)‚ and salt. Other chemicals that were used to do this experiment were vinegar‚ and Iodine 2 Solution. The equipment used to do this experiment was red litmus paper‚ and 5 test tubes per group. After

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

Soda bottle rocket Purpose The students will investigate the effect of the rocket length upon the distance of flight. The students will also investigate the mass upon the distance flight. Background The students will proof Newton’s third law of motion states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Newton’s third law also applies to rockets. A rocket gets its lift from the gases pushing out of its tail. The force of the rocket pushing on these gases is the action force

Gina R. Walker Professor Guirguis ENC 1102-42668 19 March 2013 Let Them Drink Soda The controversial topic of imposing a “soda tax”‚ or surcharge to sweetened beverages‚ in the US‚ is one that has been debated for many years. The purpose of the tax is to discourage people from purchasing sugary drinks in hopes that healthier alternatives would be purchased more often and therefore having a positive effect on the obesity epidemic in America and the rising healthcare costs as a

of Soda Ash and Volumetric Analysis of a Carbonate-Bicarbonate Mixture Belardo‚ Pia Jobelle J. Department of Chemical Engineering‚ Faculty of Engineering University of Santo Tomas España‚ Manila February 27‚ 2013 Abstract The analyte used is the soda ash which is titrated with an HCl titrant‚ standardized by Na2CO3. The indicators used are phenolphthalein for basicity and methyl orange for acidity. The two volumes of the titrant are then used to calculate percent composition of soda ash
