Boiling Point Lab Report

Improved Essays
This experiment examined the boiling process and the effect of added ingredients. Purpose of this experiment is to understand boiling process as well as the factors that affect this property.
The objective of this experiment is to investigate the appearance and temperature of range of water that is lukewarm, scalding, simmering and boiling point. On top of that, we also need to determine the factors that boiling temperature of water alone and with various ingredients added. In this experiment, appearance and temperature range of water will be determined. Various amount of ingredient will be added and changed in boiling point will be observed.
Result show that, from 28°C to 35°C the range of water is called lukewarm, from 65°C to 91°C is considered as scalding, from 92°C to 99°C this range of water is called simmering, and boiling occur during 100°C.Boiling point of water increased by 10C becomes 1010C when sugar is added but no change when cornmeal and gelatin is added. In fact, the appearance of oil also studies by us in this experiment. We notice that no change occur in appearance of oil even it being heat until 1900C. From the result obtained, we notice that the boiling temperature raise when salt and sugar is added but no changes occur when cornmeal and gelatin is added. Boiling point increase due to decrease of vapor pressure. Water does not vaporize easily because the surface area for water to escape to the surrounding is decreasing when solute like salt and sugar are added to it. More energy are required to increase the vapor pressure of sugar solution or salt solution to exceed the atmospheric pressure so that

This is because the oil molecules are much bigger than water molecules that has more surface to stick to one another because more energy is needed to overcome the chemical

    In the diffusion experiment, the highest temperature allowed the food color molecules to move at a faster rate, allowing the food color to diffuse in the water the fastest. Like the diffusion experiment, the higher temperature in this experiment produced a faster chemical reaction, allowing the Alka Seltzer to dissolve the…

    In this lab, we carried out a variety of reactions using different chemicals and metals. A chemical reaction is when the chemical state of the substance you are testing rearranges its ionic and molecular structure. One of the reactions we experienced was single replacement, this consists of one ion switching places with another ion to form a new compound. Another reaction we saw was double replacement. In this reaction, two compounds ions are switched to form two new compounds.…

    However, this temperature was lower than the boiling point of acetone, the most volatile solvent possibly present in the unknown solution, pointing to a source of error in the measurement of the temperature. This could have been due to an inaccurate thermometer or to an error in placing the thermometer too high. Because the boiling point was so low, the more volatile solvent was estimated to be acetone, which has a boiling point of 56.5°C. After fraction A was collected, the temperature of the stillpot was increased and should have produced a steady increase in a plot of the temperature versus total volume distilled while fraction B (a mixture of the two components) was collected, until a second plateau at the boiling point of the less volatile component. The temperature of the stillpot needed to be increased after collecting fraction A because the liquid left in the stillpot was then composed of a higher percentage of the less volatile component, with a correspondingly higher vapor pressure, meaning that it would boil at a higher temperature.…

    The experiment that I will be conducting focuses on how fast one tablet of Alka seltzer can dissolve in various temperatures of water. The core of this procedure is to determine the impact that temperature has on how fast something dissolves. My hypothesis for this experiment would be that the Alka Seltzer that dissolves the fastest would be the one that was placed in the water with the highest temperature. There will be controlled and manipulated variables explained throughout the experiment. The two main things used in this experiment will be the solute and the solvent, which is Alka Seltzer and water.…

    The purpose of this lab is to understand the effect that dissolved impurities will have on the freezing point of a mixture and what additive will affect the the freezing point the most. The freezing point of a liquid is, the point of a substance when the temperature of the solid and the liquid is equal. When water freezes the water molecules become organized and come closer together forming crystal particles of ice. When a solute (like salt) and a solvent (like water) mix together the salt becomes an impurity and makes it so the solution can’t crystallize.…

    PURPOSE/QUESTION The question that we will answer using this laboratory report is, “How is the rate of dissolving sugar affected by changing the temperature of the water, changing the rate of stirring, and changing the size of the crystal?” The independent variable of each laboratory experiment is different, however they are all being changed to get consistent and effective results for one dependent variable. The three independent variables are the temperature of water, rate of stirring and size of the crystal and the dependent variable of the all the experiments is the rate of sugar dissolving. HYPOTHESES Below are the laboratory experiment hypotheses that we have formed as a group to figure out what will happen to the rate of dissolving under…

    The lab we conducted involved a process called the Maillard Reaction. When it comes to cooking meats, heating the food causes the proteins, especially those nearest the surface of the meat, to denature. These denatured proteins become more chemically reactive to other molecules in their environment. One of the primary reactions that occur when browning meats and many other foods is called the Maillard Reaction.…

    The olfactory system, the sensory system contributing to the sense of smell, is often overlooked by the average person causing distortion as to how it functions, coupled with the gustatory system, to differentiate the different flavors in food which in turn allows us to classify food as delicious, good, unpleasant, or disgusting. In the other hand, the same can’t be said for the food industry, who spent numerous resources into understanding this specific sensory systems with the aim of engineering food that is to crave for with the intention of maximizing their profits. The ability for humans to identify flavors is caused by the signals sent to the brain by different receptors in the mouth and nose that interpret chemicals found within the…

    Cool water was placed into the calorimeter and its temperature recorded, while an equal weight of water was heated to 35.3 ⁰C. The heated water was immediately poured into the water in the calorimeter and the temperature was recorded. The water equivalent of the calorimeter could then be calculated. Approximately 100 g of cool distilled water was placed into the calorimeter and the initial temperature recorded. Solid sodium sulphate decahydrate crystals of 4.00 g were added to the water in the calorimeter and stirred until it dissolved.…
