Conclusion (discussion)
A. Discuss the shape of the graph.
The shape of the graph is a straight line, as throughout the experiment not a significant amount of sugar crystals were formed. The fact that the shape of the bar graph is a straight line, represents that the mass of the chopsticks, were all identical. This straight line shows that almost to no sugar crystals were formed in any of the cups.
B. What conclusions can you make from your results?
From these results, I can say that neither of them had more sugar crystals grown, and at the end the mass of each of the chopsticks were equal.
C. Was your prediction/hypothesis correct?
I’m not sure whether it was correct, as it only grew a very minor amount of sugar crystals. Additionally, …show more content…
It had its flaws and one of the major flaws was the temperature of the water. During the process of this experiment because of my lack of access to a thermometer for the hot water (100 C) I used boiling water, which made sense. However, for the other 2, the medium water temperature (50 C) I used water from a normal aqua bottle that was just delivered and a little bit heated up. For the cold water (25 C) I just put an aqua bottle in the refrigerator for 10 minutes. This was inaccurate and unfair. If I was given another chance to perform this experiment I would have a thermometer prepared beforehand. It would allow me to be aware of the temperature of the water and make sure that it was precise. After doing more research, I also figured out that for the 50 degrees Celsius I could have just used hot tap water, as the typical temperature of hot tap water is around 50 degrees Celcius. If it needed to be colder I could have put it in the refrigerator for a couple of minutes too cool it down. Additionally, if it was too cold I could have heated the water up using the stove. Then check again afterwards using the thermometer. Furthermore, if I had begun this experiment earlier on, there could have been a higher possibility that the sugar crystals would have formed even more. As according to various sources, it takes about a week or more for the sugar crystals to abundantly grow. If I was granted a chance to redo this experiment, I would commence the experiment around a week and a day or two before the due date to give the sugar crystals the most time for it to
