TITLE: An Underwater Fountain
Purpose: The purpose of this experiment is to find out the density of hot water and cold water Hypothesis: My hypothesis is I think that hot water will rise and float
Procedure:
1. Tie the string around the neck of the small bottle.
2. Fill the bottle with hot water and add three drops of food coloring
3. Put cold water on the jar
4. Slowly lower the bottle into the large jar of cold water
5. Observe the changes

Results: There’s a cloud-like colored fountain that rose out from the small bottle of hot water when it was put in the jar of cold water. The colored hot water floated to the top. My hypothesis that hot water will float is right. Water expands when heated. Hot water is less dense than cold

    After completing this project over a period of five weeks, making observations and running tests on the water in the aquatic chamber, a lot could be learned about ecosystems since given the opportunity to observe one up close for five. The water in the aquatic chamber remained clear throughout the first week. The coffee filter in the decomposition lid must have been effective because up until about the fifth contaminants were not evident in the aquatic chamber, and the water remained clear up until that final week. The plants had begun to germinate, and they grew by an inch at the end of the first week. The apples had also begun to decompose, sporting white fuzz by the end of the week.…

    This Density of Copper lab was an experiment, which helped to show how to calculate the density of copper while comparing the results of the density of water. While doing this experiment we had to remember the density of water, which is 1g/cm3. However, before trying to find the density we needed to make sure we had the mass and volume. We were given two ways to help find the density of copper and a beaker. I had to first measure the mass of the copper by picking it up and gently placing it in the analytical balance.…

    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.…

    As I completed each test of placing the water bottle into the hot water, I noticed that the water would rise in the straw. When I did the opposite and placed the water into the color water it would not rise as much as when placed into the hot water. By seeing this in each test I was able to see how the heat that was applied to the water allowed for the molecules to move rapidly and need more space, much like when water prior to boiling on atop of a stove. Heat is applied and the water molecules start to move around causing the water to ripple as well as evaporate. With that being said, I was able to prove, that my hypothesis was true by showing that the effect of heat (energy) added the water molecules speed up casing temperature…

    Specific Heat Experiment

    THE SPECIFIC HEAT CAPACITY OF WATER AND METAL INTRODUCTION. When the same amount of heat is transferred to two different objects, there is an increase in internal energy by the same amount but this does not necessarily cause a rise in temperature (Hudson, ND). The effect of heat transfer on temperature depends on the amount of heat energy transferred, the mass of the object and the specific heat capacity of the material of which the material involved is made (Hudson, ND). Therefore, the specific heat capacity of a substance is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1Kg of the substance by 1 kelvin (Hudson, ND).…

    Abstract: Distillation is the process of vaporizing a substance or a mixture; condensing it through the water condenser and then collecting it in the receiving flask1. In this experiment, fractional distillation is used to separate organic compounds that have a minuscule difference of their boiling points. The objective of this experiment is to purify and separate ethanol and water by fractional distillation to achieve the 95% of ethanol and 5% of water; then determine the density of the liquids that were collected. In the experiment, 20 mL of ethanol solution were heated in the distillate flask and maintaining the temperature around 78°C to 82°C until there were 2 mL collected in the receiving flask . The results I observed is that I did not obtain a 95/5 percentage of ethanol and water and my average density of my purify…

    This experiment was carried out because we had to check the infiltration rates of the locations we picked throughout the school and checked whether it matched the hypothesis or not. We had to the hollow pipe because we had to put water in a specific area and the measuring cup was used because we had to put the same amount of water in each area. My group and I were first given a map of the whole school and we picked our five locations and then we took all the equipment to the areas one at a time. We first placed the hollow cylinder on the ground and then we made sure it was stable and then we put 500ml of water into the pipe and then we waited for all the water to sink into the ground. We also timed how much time the water would take to sink into the ground.…
