Science Fair Project: Soda Bubbles And Temperature

Improved Essays
My science fair project involves soda bubbles and temperature. I chose this project because I’m interested in the viscosity(a chemical in soda) that is part of a soda/liquid, and how the viscosity is affected by the temperature of the liquid. I am also interested in bubbles specifically their length of time, so it would be interesting to see how the length of time is affected by temperature. The question that I am going to answer is, how does the temperature of soda affect the length of time of bubbles?
The independent variable in the project being done is the temperature. Temperature is a variable that can affect many objects and living things. Temperature causes multiple reactions, the reactions depend based on whether the temperature increases or decreases. Temperature can be manipulated, just like multiple objects can be manipulated by temperature. This project involves

The length of time that a bubble is alive can depend on many different variables. In this project, what will be viewed is how the time of bubbles change because of the temperature. The colder the soda gets, there will be more fizz/bubbles because the molecules of carbon dioxide (a chemical) have less room to escape in the cold. The more carbon dioxide that is in the soda, the more fizz/bubbles that it will have.
Temperature and the time of bubbles are related in multiple ways. Temperature and the time of the bubbles are related to each other because the temperature can affect the molecules that is in the soda/liquid which affects the time it takes to get flat. For example, ThoughtCo. found that bubbles pop more quickly during the warmer temperature. If the temperature decreases, then the time of the bubble’s lifespan will increase because in the colder temperature, carbon dioxide has less room to move and escape and the more carbon dioxide that is in the soda, the more fizz that the soda/liquid will

    Have you ever wondered why soda corrodes metals such as pennies, nails, etc.? How does it corrode them? One of the questions is if the soda does corrode the pennies how long will it take and why does it do it. It will take five days to fully corrode the pennies back to their shiny state, and will make them look brand new though they are probably a few years old. This test could get people to stop drinking soda which would lessen the risk of type 2 diabetes that can be caused by being overweight.…

    The faster motion means that the solvent molecules collide with the solute with a higher frequency and the collisions occur with more force. Both components help to increase the rate at which the solute dissolves. A change of temperature does not only affect the rate of dissolving, but it also affects the amount of solute that…

    There are multiple ways to test this experiment, but only one way to find out. There are a couple different ways how cold temperatures can remove the warm air from the lukewarm soda. The first of these is conduction. Conduction is when heat is transferred by direct contact. An example of this would be if you put a metal spoon in a heated drink, in a short amount of time you would feel the spoon heating up.…

    After 9 minutes (“more time under light source”), there were more bubbles than at the beginning. However, it was not due to the closeness of the lamp but to the amount of time under it. Also, the plant was heated up towards the end and it gave results, even though the distance between the plant and lamp was greater. Some possible mistakes that could have occurred during this experiment can include the following: Miscalculating the distance between the Elodea plant and the light source.…

    Discussion: The hypothesis stated that as the amount of baking soda increases, the total time of its reaction with vinegar will be increased as well. However, that was not the case during the actual experiment. As discussed previously, the results followed a small pattern but not for the whole experiment. The results can be confirmed that are very reliable, since repeated trials were done, sometimes more than three.…
