Pancakes Lab

Improved Essays
Introduction
You have 5 white substances in 5 different containers. Your trying to make pancakes but you don't know what substance is what. You can’t tell the baking soda and flour from the boric acid, and the sugar from the salt. How will you determine which white powders are necessary to make pancakes? If then you can test all the white substances with different types of substances that would make them react. You cannot taste test the substances because there will be a possibility that you will taste the boric acid and it is harmful to the human body.Then from their narrow it down.

Materials
The main materials for the lab were boric acid,flour,baking soda,salt, and sugar, these materials are what we are using to make the pancakes.Multiple

This is a continuous cycle until all 5 substances are completed. (you cannot repeat an substance for a inference.) This falls under chemical changes since you are changing the substance. You will start testing your water solubility to see if the powders are soluble, using your five substances in each tube.Drop a small amount of the substance into the tube and shake the tube shortly after you will see your results. The second test is vinegar (dilute acetic acid) to test this continue putting a small amount of each substance in each tube with 5 mL of vinegar the reaction will be bubbles. The next test will be Iodine test continue to set up the test tubes like the other two procedures, but set aside two test tubes. Drop 2 droplets of iodine in each and your reaction should be a blue substance. The last test would benedict's solutions it is performed for simple sugars the colors should change green,yellow, or brick red depending on the sugars.Repeat the steps of the other procedures and see what color the tubes

    The pH test will confirm if the compound is an acid or base. After we performed the previous tests, we created five reactions that we knew would react with our predicted compound in a certain way. We came up with one reaction that would result in a white precipitate, and in the other four the compound will not react and only dissolve in the solution. We completed this test for both our known and our unknown and compared results.…

    You should have 10 clear test tubes, bath them by hot water. Test 1a: put a known solution in tube 1 and add three drops of each of the 10 cation solutions. Add 8 drops 6 M HCl solution to tube 1 and do it one more time. If it forms precipitate, you should continue add HCl. Record this data on table 1a.…

    When hydrochloric acid was added to the unknown and known solutions, both resulted in no reaction. This also occurred when potassium hydroxide was added to both of the solutions. Barium chloride was then added to the two solutions, which resulted in a cloudy white precipitate from both of the solutions. A cloudy white precipitate also formed when calcium nitrate and ammonium nitrate were added to both the unknown and known solutions. These reactivity tests were conducted in order to establish how the unknown compound would react with acids, bases, and salts.…

    The Case of the Mix-Matched Chemicals Hypothesis: By measuring the pH of the unknown and known chemicals, the types of chemicals in the unknown bottles will become known. Purpose: The purpose of this experiment is to determine the type of chemicals that are inside the mislabeled bottles. Materials: • pH strips • 8 bottles of known chemicals: o silver nitrate o iron (III) nitrate o copper (II)…

    25 mL of each sample of yogurt measured in separate glass beakers. To dilute the yogurt, there were 50 mL of water added to each sample and mixed until homogeneous. Next, 2 µL of each yogurt samples were pipetted into 198 µL of a PBS solution. The mixtures were vortexed on a cuvette to make sure they were completely mixed. Then, 20 µL of each mixture were pipetted out and added to 1 mL of Bradford dye reagent (at room temperature).…

    This was done by documenting the state of matter, its smell using the wafting technique, color, and structure. Following this the solubility test was conducted. This was completed by taking 1g of the unknown compound and placing it within 100mL of distilled water inside a 150mL beaker. Stirring the solution using a glass rod, observations of the unknown compound dissolving (or not) after 10 seconds are recorded. Next follows the Anion Tests in which a chloride ion test and a sulfate test were conducted.…

    The objective tests also displayed similar results stating that the egg alternatives did not produce a product of the same quality as the egg formulations. Because the flavor was unpleasant, the least satisfactory egg substitution was the soy and wheat flour product. Some of the limitation of this experiment included the use of dry egg in all of the non-egg formulations. The use of dry egg prevented the experiment from showcasing an egg-free product which produced the best results. The original hypothesis that stated that the products would be very different from the cakes made with egg was true.…
