Lab Phase Change Experiment

Decent Essays
In this investigation, researchers able to observe phase change overtime. The experiment was completed using a beaker partially filled with water then the scientists added ice added in, a hot plate, thermometer and stopwatch to observe and collect data. The researchers predicted that when ice was added to the hot water the temperature would decrease than increase as the ice melted. The data confirmed our hypothesis was correct that the temperature would decrease when ice was added than increase as it turned into a liquid state. In the lab the researchers use words like S,L,G what mean Solid Liquid and Gas. The researchers discovered two phase changes during this lab. The energy released from the ice caused the temperature of the water to

    While the experiment was indeed fascinating to watch, several strengths and weaknesses existed in the research. In the beginning of the episode, Adam and Jamie went to Stanford University to look for a suitable measure for pain tolerance. They were introduced to four standard measures of pain, including extreme heat, capsaicin injection, electricity, and cold pressor test by Dr. Chu, who specialize in pain. After testing out themselves, the hosts of the show chose the cold pressor test (Rees, 2010). Thus, the measurement selected for the experiment is reliable, as it is approved by specialist.…

    This made it effortless for H2O to detach from the substance when coming in contact with a heating source. This effectively left the substance anhydrous. This experiment determines the number of water molecules related to the hydrate. The experiment also helped formulate the empirical formula and percent composition of the hydrate…

    This experiment proved that as temperatures cooled the reaction time slowed down (http://www.ebi.ac.uk/interpro/potm/2004_9/Page1.htm). During the experience I initially put the thermometer on the bottom of the test tube which gave me the wrong temperature, so I had to redo the the test. Another error was during the reaction the liquid overflowed the sides of the test tube and it maid it hard to read the results. I would recommend that. Bibliography:…

    Also, the theory behind the investigation was fairly interesting as it allowed myself to gain new knowledge. A difficult aspect of the experiment was trying to do the experiment on a day where the sun was out as the sun was our main source of supply for the heat towards the ice. Additionally, due to season changes, the weather was…

    I tasted the crisp, cool water and found myself thirsty. I continued to observe the interaction of the ice and the water and noted the ice cube did not seem to move in the water as expected. Small beading began to accumulate on the exterior of the glass at around twelve minutes and my impatience grew. At this point I seemed to create things which could be observed. I observed the ice from above and noted my breath creating ripples in the water which caused the ice to change position.…

    Almost all chemical reactions involve a loss or gain of heat. This change in heat is called enthalpy. The goal of this experiment is to calculate enthalpy for three different reactions. To calculate the enthalpy of a reaction, a calorimeter is used to measure the change in heat energy from mixing different substances. The change of temperature is found by comparing the change in temperature of the system to the temperature of the surroundings.…

    The Thermodynamics of Potassium Nitrate Dissolving in Water Introduction: This experiment focuses on thermodynamics or the study of heat and molecular randomness. It helps illustrate how and why potassium nitrate (KNO3) dissolves in water. When it dissolves, it dissociates into potassium (K+) and nitrate (NO3-) ions. These ions can also recombine into solid potassium nitrate. This reaction can reach a state where concentrations of ions remain constant or Ksp; which stands for the equilibrium concentration for the solubility product.…

    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.…
