Lab two explored varies ways to find the density of objects. This lab used displacement , measurement, and the density formula to make observation and collect data about the balloon filled with sublimed dry ice, various water samples, and a golf ball. The ultimate goals of this experiment were to collect the most precise measurements of displacement of the balloon in the tap water, the weight of the three water samples versus the original cylinder, and diameter of the golf ball in order to use the formulas given to correctly calculate the density of the water samples and gold ball. The ultimate goal of the water displacement was to used to pressure formula to calculate the missing variable n in the pressure formula. Lab two's experiment was

    Gummy Bear Experiment

    For our diffusion experiment our group decided to work with salt water and gummy bears. Our experiment tested the weight of the gummy bears per salt dilutions. Our tests included 1g 2.5g 5g, 1.5g, and 10g of salt diluted with water. We knew that the higher the concentration of salt diluted into the water the heavier the diffused gummy bear would be, therefore we measure weight as our numerical data. My hypothesis was that the 10g dilution of salt would have the gummy bear with the largest mass.…

    Experiment Number Two Lab Essay

    CONCLUSION: Two weeks ago, Soundings XVI performed Lab Experiment Number Two. Lab Experiment Number Two was similar to the previous, Lab Experiment Number One. The prompt was to compare the results of pennies dropped in water, versus the result of pennies being dropped into milk, both at 100 mL. The main purpose of this lab was to further discuss more scientific parts of this lab, such as the surface tension when the cylinder was close to overflowing for both the milk and water. Before performing this lab, my group and I created a hypothesis to reflect upon and to state what we believed would dictate the results.…

    Hydrate Lab

    Introduction An experiment was generated in the lab to enhance the understanding on taking the percent composition and formulating the empirical formula of a hydrate. In chemistry, hydrates are compounds which absorb water molecules and incorporate them as part of a structure. The hydrate in this experiment was an inorganic hydrate, meaning the bonds between water molecules were inadequate (What is a hydrate? (n.d.)).…

    Inside The Black Bottle Experiment

    In this experiment, students were able to learn about the basic elements of the scientific inquiry which helped students think critically—students also used the scientific method to conduct this experiment. In this experiment, we were given a black bottle and a bag that had items that could be inside the bottle. The independent variable was the contents inside the bag, while the dependent variable was the contents inside the black bottle since that is what we had determine. In order to learn more about the elements of scientific inquiry, we made observations in order to come up with a hypothesis.…

    Cyclohexane Lab Report

    The objective goal of this experiment is to identify a set of unknown liquids by measuring the liquids of three physical properties which consists of determining the density, solubility and boiling point of the liquids A, B, C and D. Ethyl acetate, methanol cyclohexane and acetone were the unlabeled liquids. In the data analysis the predictions came out to be liquid A for acetone, liquid B is for ethyl acetate, liquid C is methanol and liquid D is cyclohexane. Introduction and Experimental Details: In order to determine the density of the liquid, the formula density = mass/volume was used during the experiment. To be more precise, d = g/mL. To find the density, both the triple beam balance and the analytical balance were used. However, before…

    Density's Separation Of Syrids

    Density’s separation of fluids was shown via the density column. The resulting column was nearly identical to that of the prediction. However, the rubber band actually sunk through the layer of dish soap and floated atop the maple syrup, as seen in Picture 1. This means that the density of the rubber band was greater than anticipated or that the dish soap’s was less than assumed. Besides that slight difference in order, the entire column stood completely as expected.…

    Does Changing The Temperature Of The Vinegar Affect The Circumference Of A Balloon

    In conclusion, our experiment shows that changing the temperature of the vinegar (acid) will affect the circumference of the balloon. When you heat the acid, the chemical reaction is greater resulting in a larger balloon circumference. When you chill the acid, the chemical reaction is lesser, resulting in a smaller balloon circumference. We tested the vinegar with PH strips to see if the acidity changed in the vinegar when it was at different temperatures. It was the same.…

    Experiment: Boyle´s Law And Gay-Lussac's Law

    In this experiment, Boyle’s Law and Gay-Lussac’s law were tested, using a gas pressure sensor and a temperature probe, in order to produce constants for both these laws. In Part A, a setup with a 20 mL syringe and a gas pressure sensor was used to measure the effect of a change in volume on the pressure of a gas, and to obtain various data points that were used to measure 4 values for a Boyle’s Law constant. In part B, a setup with a water bath, and a rubber stopper assembly in an Erlenmeyer flask was used to measure the change in pressure of a gas when temperature was changed, and to obtain 4 values for a Gay-Lussac’s Law constant. These sets of four values were averaged to provide 2 average constants, which were used to measure pressure at different volumes and temperatures respectively.…
