Solubility Of Sugar Experiment

Improved Essays
The purpose of this lab was to determine how different solvents affect the solubility of sugar. In this experiment 2 grams of sugar was mixed into 50 ml of rubbing alcohol, water and vegetable oil. It was hypothesized that the rubbing alcohol would dissolve the sugar the best followed by the water, and the vegetable oil would fail to dissolve the sugar. It was found out that both the rubbing alcohol and the vegetable oil were not able to dissolve the sugar. The water however, was able to dissolve the sugar. In each trial the data was the same. Except for the time it took the water to dissolve the sugar, which was 20 seconds for the first trial, 35.77 seconds in the second, and 39.9 in the third. The hypothesis was partially correct. The vegetable

    The sucrose concentrations in bags C and D is 25% and 50%. These solutions are more concentrated than the surrounding 1% sucrose concentrations. Thus, concentration gradients exist between the two Medias. As a result, the two bags begin gaining water. The bag C gains the solvent at a slower rate than by the bag…

    These results show that the gummy bear was hypertonic compared to the pure water solution but was hypotonic to the 30% and 50% salt water concentrated solutions. Thus, in order to create an equilibrium in these solutions, water flowed into the gummy bear in the first solution and flowed out of the gummy bear in the other two solutions. In brief, the higher the solute concentration in comparison to the gummy bear, the more the water would flow out to create a isotonic solution due to the process of…

    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).…

    The purpose of conducting this experiment was to explore how different factors affect the reaction rate of enzymes reacting with their corresponding substrates in order to learn more about how enzymes function in different environments. The independent variables investigated in this experiment were the concentration of different substrates, the temperature of the environment, and the effect of a catalyst on the reaction rate. The dependent variable for all of the investigations was the time it took for the reaction to occur. To investigate the effect of the concentration of the substrate on the reaction time, four test tubes were used.…

    Introduction: Enzymes have a huge effect on the human body and other organisms. Enzymes are catalysts that are used to accelerate the reaction process by lowering the activation energy. For this experiment the catechol oxidase was extracted from potatoes. The enzyme is called catechol oxidase because the oxygen is reacting to catechol. Catechol oxidase causes the browning of the fruits and vegetables because the compound is toxic to the bacteria.…

    Science Fair Research Paper Have you ever eaten rock candy? Ever wonder if you could try to find a way to make the crystal bigger? I am testing different forms of sugar in different temperatures of water to see if it will form a bigger crystal. Sugar dissolves due to its molecules separating from one another, crystallization is a chain reaction where the melted sugar starts to re-form, and different types of sugar crystalize differently due to the overall elements and shapes of the molecule.…

    Discussion For the first part of the experiment, a solubility test was conducted on all compounds. Because they were all ionic, every known compound naturally dissolved in water, and conducted electricity. As the next determining factor in the process to identify the unknown substance, the compounds were tested in acetone. As seen in table 2, only one compound, Ca(NO3)2 was found to be soluble in this solvent.…

    If the results were out of the range I would consider the experiment unreliable. It was an accurate experiment, as the method was performed the same for all 9 trials. The sugar was the same brand, the water was kept to the correct temperatures at 4 oC being the coldest, 20 oC and 100 oC being the warmest., as well as the amount of times stirring at 5 minutes and the amount of sugar added to the solvent was kept the same each time. The validity of this experiment was acceptable as the results presented were all accurate. Trends in the experiment were that in the first 2 experiments, 4 oC and 20 oC, 2 of the trials collected the same data.…
