Case Study Of Independent Variable: Maple Syrup

Improved Essays
Independent Variable(s): Vinegar (200 mL), distilled water (200 mL), maple syrup (150 mL)
Dependent Variable(s): Egg

Problem: After twenty-four hours in each solution, what will happen to the egg and its mass? The solutions will make the mass of the egg increase and decrease depending on what the density of the liquid is.

Hypothesis: If we put the egg in different solutions for twenty-four hours each then it will increase in volume when it's in the vinegar and distilled water but it will decrease in mass when you put it in maple syrup because when it's in the vinegar and distilled water, it has a larger density than the water and vinegar so it will absorb the water and vinegar, the mass will decrease in the maple syrup because the density

My hypothesis was correct because the results show the mass decreasing when put in maple syrup and the mass increasing when put in the vinegar and distilled water as you can see in the results. When I put the egg into the vinegar it increased in size as well did its mass it when form 63.5 grams to 79.5 grams. When I put the egg into the maple syrup it looked deflated, the mass of the egg went from 79.5 grams to 47.2 grams. When I put the egg into the distilled water it has been blown up, its mass went from 47.2 grams to 92.6 grams. The variables where the egg, maple syrup,vinegar and distilled water the vinegar and distilled water both made the mass of the egg increase.

What would happen to a grape if you put it into 3 different solutions for twenty-four hours each? An experiment to test this would be to do the same thing as you did with the egg except change all the amounts of liquid to 100 mL. If you put a grape into 3 different solutions for twenty-for hours each

    For this experiment, a few scientists are researching how different flavors/colors of sports drinks effect the amount of red 40 dye in each drink. The independent variable in the experiment is the flavors of Gatorade (a brand of sports drinks) used, while the dependent variable is the concentration of dye the sports drinks contain. The constant variable is the spectrophotometer, the amount of liquid used, and the same type of cuvette. The controlled variable is only using water. In order to determine which drink would have the greatest concentration of red 40 dye, the scientists must first understand what it actually is.…

    Gummy Bear Experiment

    For our diffusion experiment our group decided to work with salt water and gummy bears. Our experiment tested the weight of the gummy bears per salt dilutions. Our tests included 1g 2.5g 5g, 1.5g, and 10g of salt diluted with water. We knew that the higher the concentration of salt diluted into the water the heavier the diffused gummy bear would be, therefore we measure weight as our numerical data. My hypothesis was that the 10g dilution of salt would have the gummy bear with the largest mass.…

    The materials given were three raw chicken eggs, vinegar, maple syrup, tap water, and table salt. Prior to beginning the experiment, the raw chicken eggs were saturated in vinegar for two days, in order to remove the outer shell. Also before beginning the experiment, the mass of the glass dish was obtained, via a triple beam balance, for measuring/zeroing purposes. On the day of the experiment, the three raw eggs were removed from their vinegar bath and rinsed under a stream of tap water, running from a faucet. After rinsing, each egg was patted dry, placed in a glass dish, and measured b y a triple beam balance, in order to obtain the initial mass of the egg.…

    Cup 1 had 1 t-spoons of vinegar, cup 2 had 2 t-spoons, and last cup 3 had 3 t-spoons. These shells were weighed before we put them into the cups to see the mass of each one. My partners put each shell on the scale and measured it in grams. Through this process the end results were, the first shell weighing 1.15g, the second shell 2.26g and last the third shell 1.41g before we put them into the vinegar. The independent variable would be the amount of vinegar put into the saltwater.…

    The answer is that by changing the surface of the penny, the penny holds less drops of water because the soap is filling up the cracks, and the surface. 2. Write your hypothesis from part B. If we change the surface of the penny by putting soap on the penny then, the penny will hold less drops of water, and we will get different results then the original. 3. List at least 3 pieces of data from your experiment(and your textbook/notes) that shows support for or refutes your hypothesis.…

    With the before and after measurements in two graphs, one can easily figure out that no matter which solution the bear is soaked in, it will increase to some extent. In tap water, the gummy bear started with a mass of two point eight grams and changed 217.9 percent to eight point nine grams. The volume of the gummy bear started off at 1,296mm^3 and change 617.6 percent to a volume of 9,300 grams (Table 1). In the cup is sugar water, the gummy bear went from a mass of two point seven grams to seven point three grams with a 170.4 percent change. The volume of that gummy bear increased by 420 percent by going from 1,350mm^3 to 7,020mm^3 (Table 1).…

    Once the egg was decalcified, it felt very fragile and bouncy. When the egg didn’t have a shell anymore, it was kept from seeping out by the “plasma membrane” (egg white), which was congealed by the soaking in vinegar. When the nucleus of the egg became visible, it looked very cloudy. The substance that entered/left the egg in each situation was water, due to the state of the egg, by way of osmosis, in a way of trying to balance the inside and outside the “cell” (egg), this balance is essential to functioning at the preferred isotonic state. This lab could be improved by using 2 different eggs, as the data seemed inaccurate when placing a hypotonic egg into a solution of corn syrup made the egg hypertonic, because there wasn’t a proper start weight in the egg when placed in the second solution.…

    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.…

    Snow Globe Essay

    • 779 Words
    • 4 Pages

    Snow globes are made of clear glass, a transparent sphere with a scenic view and a plastic toy inside the globe. The sphere likewise encases the water in the globe; the water fills in as the medium through, where the snow falls. The globe must be shaken to actuate the snow so the white particles can fall gradually to reach the base. When the snowflakes/object falls, it experiences two external forces which are; the gravitational force and the aerodynamic (air resistance) drag of the object, which gradually brings the object down. Furthermore, the drag force affects the object because of the shape and the viscosity of the fluid.…
