Why Do Liquids Evaporate At The Fastest

Decent Essays
The purpose of this project is to see which liquid evaporates at the fastest rate, when it is directed toward the sunlight. People should care about this project because, for example if you are stranded on an island and you only have sprite, apple juice, and cooking wine then you would need to know which one will last the longest. This can impact your daily life because most people end up leaving their drinks all over the kitchen and forgetting about it. They come back the next day realizing that they left it out, and they are left wondering if the liquids are still good. The less the liquids evaporate, the worse it is because if apple juice is left out for a long time, it will get moldy. If I had to change something about this project to make it better, I would replace apple juice with water because apple juice gets moldy in a day or two. The hypothesis is that the cooking wine will evaporate the fastest in the sun compared to sprite and apple juice because cooking wine has molecules that are able to evaporate …show more content…
My data supported my hypothesis because cooking wine evaporated the most. The three liquids and the amount of sunlight are the most important variables. The results of this project concluded that the cooking wine evaporated the fastest. The cooking wines average was 41, while apple juice was 28, and the sprite was 29.3, which proves our hypothesis correct. Cooking wine evaporated the most. The data supported our hypothesis because it showed us that cooking wine had the most average for evaporating. Our conclusion was correct because our hypothesis was that cooking wine would evaporate the most. We thought cooking wine would evaporate the most because it has more molecules that are able to

    A possible error that could have been made was not doing at least three experiments. If more experiments were done, the information would have been more accurate. Another possible error was only using two liquids. If more than two liquids were used in this experiment, then the information would have also been more accurate. A major error in this experiment was using a different starting temperature for each trial.…

    In the diffusion experiment, the highest temperature allowed the food color molecules to move at a faster rate, allowing the food color to diffuse in the water the fastest. Like the diffusion experiment, the higher temperature in this experiment produced a faster chemical reaction, allowing the Alka Seltzer to dissolve the…

    Observations: This experiment was divided into two parts: one part was to observe the properties of a single Alka Seltzer tablet and the second part was to find the percentage of CO2. In the first part of the experiment, the visible properties of Alka Seltzer were observed and recorded. Each Alka Seltzer contains the same three ingredients: 325 mg of Aspirin, 1000 mg of Citric Acid, and 1916 mg of Sodium Bicarbonate.…

    In this unit of my 9th grade Physical Science, we are learning and experiencing with labs. In this week's experiment, my class did the paper towel lab. Here, we tested the quality of three different paper towel brands, Viva, Up&Up, and Bounty. Each lab group was testing for a certain quality of each brand, such as strength and absorbency. Through different experiments, each lab group came to the conclusion that one paper towel brand had more strength or better absorbency than the other two.…

    However, this temperature was lower than the boiling point of acetone, the most volatile solvent possibly present in the unknown solution, pointing to a source of error in the measurement of the temperature. This could have been due to an inaccurate thermometer or to an error in placing the thermometer too high. Because the boiling point was so low, the more volatile solvent was estimated to be acetone, which has a boiling point of 56.5°C. After fraction A was collected, the temperature of the stillpot was increased and should have produced a steady increase in a plot of the temperature versus total volume distilled while fraction B (a mixture of the two components) was collected, until a second plateau at the boiling point of the less volatile component. The temperature of the stillpot needed to be increased after collecting fraction A because the liquid left in the stillpot was then composed of a higher percentage of the less volatile component, with a correspondingly higher vapor pressure, meaning that it would boil at a higher temperature.…

    Whereas, that molecules of a cold liquid mixed with ice cubes are more compact which makes it a more dense of a substance. This may give an advantage to the ice water. Because it is the most dense, it means the molecules are closer together. This also means that more molecules are coming in contact with the soda. That is why others may suggest that the ice water would make the soda cool the fastest…

    My science fair project involves soda bubbles and temperature. I chose this project because I’m interested in the viscosity(a chemical in soda) that is part of a soda/liquid, and how the viscosity is affected by the temperature of the liquid. I am also interested in bubbles specifically their length of time, so it would be interesting to see how the length of time is affected by temperature. The question that I am going to answer is, how does the temperature of soda affect the length of time of bubbles? The independent variable in the project being done is the temperature.…

    However this led to significant decrease in data from 1599 wine samples to just 280. Hence this data training was considered best to be ignored. So the best test set accuracy for support vector machine was obtained when PCA was implemented beforehand to provide feature vectors sorted in the order of highest eigenvalues. Since PCA is highly influenced by the scaling of the original variables, it retains characteristics of datasets that contributes most to its variance[2]. Although PCA was able to provide a better test accuracy, it is only 2% higher than the test accuracy provided had the data been trained only with ‘alcohol’ and ‘sulfates’ attributes.…

    Over three days, we tested what would happen to an egg after leaving in various liquids over a 24-hour period. Before letting the egg submerge in vinegar overnight the initial weight of the egg was 66.6 grams. We thought that after leaving the egg in vinegar the shell of the egg would get softer. The independent variable is the vinegar and the dependent variable is the egg. We believed that the egg would be softer; because we saw the vinegar bubble once we put the egg in it.…

    Introduction The properties of amino acids, the components used to create proteins, vary as determined by their r-group; some r-groups are hydrophobic while others are hydrophilic. Engleman’s and Kyte and Doolittle’s scales quantify the degree of this hydrophobicity. Through this experiment the experimenters hoped to gain an understanding of the correlation between Engleman’s and Kyte and Doolittle’s values and solubility, or the amount of amino acid dissolved, as well as how hydrogen bonds affect solubility of amino acids. Methods Glycine, alanine, valine, leucine, and isoleucine, were placed into weigh boats then measured in grams.…

    Discussion: The hypothesis stated that as the amount of baking soda increases, the total time of its reaction with vinegar will be increased as well. However, that was not the case during the actual experiment. As discussed previously, the results followed a small pattern but not for the whole experiment. The results can be confirmed that are very reliable, since repeated trials were done, sometimes more than three.…

    These results can be seen in Figure 1. The frequency results were plotted against the volume of the bottles that was changed by adding water. The results showed that when using the wine bottle, the theoretical calculations were very similar to the experimental results. Since the results agreed, there was a noticeable trend that the smaller the volume, the greater the difference between the theoretical and experimental frequencies. This is due to the indentation at the bottom of the bottle that could make the volume seem…

    Data Analysis The scientific question for this experiment is:” Does the amount of baking soda added to vinegar affect the amount of CO2 produced?” “If more baking soda is added to 50mL of vinegar, then more CO2 gas will be produced,” was the hypothesis. The independent variable was the different amounts of baking soda. Therefore, the dependent variable was the amount of CO2 produced.…
