Does Changing The Temperature Of The Vinegar Affect The Circumference Of A Balloon

Decent Essays
In conclusion, our experiment shows that changing the temperature of the vinegar (acid) will affect the circumference of the balloon.
When you heat the acid, the chemical reaction is greater resulting in a larger balloon circumference. When you chill the acid, the chemical reaction is lesser, resulting in a smaller balloon circumference.

We tested the vinegar with PH strips to see if the acidity changed in the vinegar when it was at different temperatures. It was the same.

    The experiment was conducted in an enclosed environment (choice chamber), which helped to maintain the constants. The integrity of the control (water) was maintained by using an eye dropper to carefully place the water into the selected chamber to test the effects. There were no major complications during the experiment. The biggest complication was the lack of movement from the pillbugs which may have made the…

    Observations: This experiment was divided into two parts: one part was to observe the properties of a single Alka Seltzer tablet and the second part was to find the percentage of CO2. In the first part of the experiment, the visible properties of Alka Seltzer were observed and recorded. Each Alka Seltzer contains the same three ingredients: 325 mg of Aspirin, 1000 mg of Citric Acid, and 1916 mg of Sodium Bicarbonate.…

    1.)During the lab and based on recorded observations it can be deduced that the enzyme catalase found in potatoes only reacted to hydrogen peroxide. This is do to the fact that before 10 ml of hydrogen peroxide was added to each test tube residing 3 potato samples and the designated liquid, no reaction was observed. Thus demonstrating the catalase's inability to react to vinegar, soda, water, detergent, and Na OH. Furthermore, shortly after the hydrogen peroxide was added to the liquids of diverse ph levels, a rapid and prominent throng of bubbles began to appear, which demonstrates the mediate reaction the hydrogen peroxide had on catalase.…

    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).…

    Purpose The question being explored in this experiment is how temperature affects the rate of reaction of Alka-Seltzer, or effervescent tablets. The purpose of this is to see whether hotter temperatures or cooler temperatures cause the reaction to be quicker. Effervescent tablets are used to orally distribute medicine for patients and consumers (Laboratories SMB). By adding the tablets to water, the medicine is released into the solution, allowing the consumer to easily drink the solution and take the drugs needed for their health (Haack & Köberle).…

    Methods There are many important factors to any experiment, including the materials. To continue, the quantity of materials for this experiment varies from a refrigerator to tweezers, but they all need to be included for the best results. First, the larger materials needed to complete the experiment are refrigerator, freezer, stove, one ice box, one scale which could be large or small, one blender, one cooking pot, one large jar or cup, and at least 400 milliliters of distilled water. Next, the smaller supplies begin with at least five coffee filters, one pair of scissors, enough ice cubes to fill the ice box and have at least eight left over, one potato peeler, at least two potatoes, one knife, one gallon plastic bag, one clean bowl or wax…

    Have you ever wondered why your rubber band broke? Or have you ever found a rubber band in the hot sun and asked yourself why it snaps easier when the band is hot? This happens because the molecule chains break. Temperature affects the elasticity of a rubber band. Temperature is the measurement of hot or cold.…

    I noticed that the pH is more acidic when vinegar was added to all of the vegetables. A pH less than 7 in considered a acid, 7 is neutral, and over 7 is considered an base. If you refer back to the tables, the pH was the lowest when vinegar was added to these vegetables, numbers including a range from three to five. When the saucepan was covered and cooked in water for 15 minutes, it tended to cause the vegetables to be one of the mushier ones out of the other cooking treatments. Numbers ranged from five to seven compared to two with other cooking treatments.…

    The molar heat of vaporization of a liquid is the amount of heat to be added to one mole of the liquid at its boiling point to convert into vapor with no change in temperature (Whitten, 2014). Because the heat is added to the system in order to maintain the temperature, vaporization is an endothermic process, therefore ∆Hvaporization is always positive. Heats of vaporization are often expressed in kilojoules rather than joules. Like many other properties of liquids, heats of vaporization reflect the strengths of intermolecular forces – London forces, present in all molecules, dipole-dipole interactions, which are the result of a polarized structure, and hydrogen bonds, which are the result of a hydrogen atom covalently bonded to a highly electronegative…

    Malic acid is one of the primary contributors of acidity in the grape. Its concentration tends to decrease as the grape ripe and it is mostly due to metabolic respiration. The vine and grape are depend on the Malic acid as a fuel in respiration. During warmer days, the metabolic respiration will be higher and thus decrease the total amount of Malic acid. However when in a cooler climates, the concentration of mMlic acid will remain at initial levels or slightly decrease only.…

    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.…
