Set 2
A pressure vs. Volume analysis was done to determine the bubble points for Oil A, Oil B and water, with CO2
Oil A
Represented in Fig. 7 below, the Pressure vs. Volume behavior of Oil A is displayed, the graph is separated into two different sections as Oil A transitions from a single phase fluid to a two phase fluid, the transition occurs at 800 psi which represents the bubble point for Oil A. Fig XX. Pressure vs. Volume Oil A
Analysis was done on the relationship between compressibility of oil vs. pressure. As shown in the figure below, compressibility increases linearly as pressure decreases from 2500psi to the bubble point. At the bubble point, as pressure decreases now the compressibility increases exponentially. The change in gradient occurs as there is gas present in the fluid. Fig XX.

) and one below the bubble point was used. As shown in the figure, above the bubble point as pressure increases Bo decreases. Below the bubble point, as pressure increases toward the bubble point, so does formation volume factor although with a higher gradient than compared to the one below the bubble point. Fig XX. Pressure vs. Rs and Bo Oil A
Oil B
In the figure below, the Pressure vs. Volume for Oil B is presented. Along with Oil A, volume increases linearly as pressure decreases. The two relationships appear to be similar, although with different gradients. The bubble point as displayed in the figure below occurs at 200psi. Fig XX. Pressure vs. Volume Oil B
Using Eq. 3, the compressibility of Oil B was calculated against pressure as shown in the figure below. Compressibility above the bubble point increases with decreasing pressure, although difficult to interpret as the gradient is very small. At 200psi, compressibility jumps suddenly, indicating the change in gradient. Reason being the bubble point was not reached until the pressure was reduced from 2500psi to

    Introduction Elena Muhs was contacted by the company Tantrum Toys to test a new bubble solution they had created to see if it would make bigger, longer lasting bubbles compared to other formulas. Her group was instructed to test six bubble solutions, one of which was Tantrum Toys new solution and another was Tantrum Toys currently marketed solution. Each solution was identically packaged and marked with only a solution number in order to eliminate the possibility of bias in the laboratory. Muhs and her group of scientist have been asked to find the best bubble solution. Muhs was instructed to test the size of bubbles created from each solution in two tests, one was a dome bubble test and the other was a free-floating bubble test.…

    The Pressure in the bag reduces due to a loss of volume of the solvent. A point reaches whereby the pressure on the outwards side of the tubing equal to the force driving the water out of the tube. At this point, no more osmosis occurs in the bag (Wisniak, 2013). Bag B stimulates a cell whose contents are isotonic to its surrounding environment. This situation arises because the concentration of the bag contents is 1% sucrose concentration that resembles the solute concentration on the outside.…

    So it's not really a chemical reaction as much as a physical release of small amounts of trapped gas. The soda, a carbonated liquid to begin with, contains lots of pressurized C02. Pop Rocks are pressurized with carbon dioxide, creating tiny pockets of bubbles inside the candy. When the soda is at a higher pressure, it can hold more carbon dioxide. When the soda is opened to the…

    The outcome of the experiment is that the water got colder with the dry ice and the dry ice turned to gas. The outcome would have turned differently if we had used cold water and a pressure pump. The dry ice would not have skipped the liquid stage. It would have carbonated the water. The pressure of the gas will mix in with the water to create bubbles to create…

    It decreased to 86.25%, while the area for octane increased to 13.75%. This is reasonable, because this fraction was take when the system had the temperature starting at 85˚C and ending at 87˚C. At this temperature hexane is readily evaporating, which is why the fraction mainly consist of hexane, but some octane is evaporating as well, resulting in a slightly higher area at this peak. When analyzing the data, a source of error was found. Fraction 1 and 2 were taken very close to one another, so there was not much change in the…

    Does The Squidy Sink?

    Squidy was a little “squid” in a 2 liter bottle that floated at the top, and when you squeezed the bottle, Squidy sank to the bottom. Then, when you released the bottle, Squidy would float back up to the top. Squidy used some of the gas laws and principles we learned in class such as: Boyle’s law, Pascal’s law, and Archimedes principle. Pascal's law plays a major role in Squidy. Pascal's law is about applying pressure, and when we applied pressure to the bottle, it forced Squidy to sink.…

    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.…

    Molar Volume of a Gas Lab The purpose of the lab was to do an experiment to determine the molar volume of hydrogen gas at standard temperature and pressure, or STP. To start the experiment, a beaker was filled with water and then a cage was created with a copper wire. A piece of magnesium was cut and placed inside the cage in order to keep the reaction going until all of the magnesium reacted with the hydrochloric acid. The eudiometer tube was filled with 15 mL of hydrochloric acid and water and then plugged with a one-hole rubber stopper that held the cage in place, ensuring that the magnesium would react with the excess hydrochloric acid.…

    We notice that no change occur in appearance of oil even it being heat until 1900C. From the result obtained, we notice that the boiling temperature raise when salt and sugar is added but no changes occur when cornmeal and gelatin is added. Boiling point increase due to decrease of vapor pressure. Water does not vaporize easily because the surface area for water to escape to the surrounding is decreasing when solute like salt and sugar are added to it. More energy are required to increase the vapor pressure of sugar solution or salt solution to exceed the atmospheric pressure so that…

    Abstract The purpose of this experiment is to determine the relationship between the temperature and pressure of air at constant volume which placed the Jolly’s bulb in water of different temperature. At the constant volume of the air in the Jolly’s bulb, the temperature and pressure of the air are measured and recorded throughout the experiment. The result shows that the pressure of the air in the Jolly’s bulb increases as the temperature rises, and the pressure decreases as the temperature decreases. After plotting the graph manually according to the data obtained from the experiment, it shows that the pressure of air is linearly proportional to the temperature of air at constant volume.…

    RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Air pressure in the blow tube Figure 3 represents air pressure in the blow tube for 4 bar and 6 bar reservoir pressures. Considering only the 4 bar reservoir pressure case, peak pressure observed is 379538.2 Pa, which is 274.5% more than atmospheric pressure. And peak pressure observed is not equal to 4 bar, which can be attributed to the frictional losses in the blow tube and in the pipe connecting blow tube and air reservoir. Fig.…
