Why Does Ice Melt Faster Than Sugar

Decent Essays
The question that this experiment helped me answer was what makes ice melt faster salt or sugar. My hypothesis was if I pour ice with salt, then the ice amount of ice will be more because salt has more molecules than sugar does. In this experiment, I had to pour salt with ice and sugar with ice. Then you needed to place them in the fridge and wait one hour till one bowl of ice is halfway melted. Then I had to pour all the water out into a measuring cup but, had to keep the ice’s in the bowl. Then I had to record the data on how much was melted in the fridge. Then I needed to leave the ice cubes, at room temperature and let them all melt. Once, all melted I had to pour all the water out into a measuring cup and record my data. Then after that

    While the experiment was indeed fascinating to watch, several strengths and weaknesses existed in the research. In the beginning of the episode, Adam and Jamie went to Stanford University to look for a suitable measure for pain tolerance. They were introduced to four standard measures of pain, including extreme heat, capsaicin injection, electricity, and cold pressor test by Dr. Chu, who specialize in pain. After testing out themselves, the hosts of the show chose the cold pressor test (Rees, 2010). Thus, the measurement selected for the experiment is reliable, as it is approved by specialist.…

    Ooblek Activity Goal: Use the RACE method in writing the conclusion of a scientific lab report by examining the amazing properties of a substance called Ooblek. The RACE method consists of restating the problem, prompt or assignment, answering the problem, prompt, or argument by making a claim, citing the evidence from the text or lab that supports or disputes your answer, (using qualitative or quantitative observations) and explaining and elaborating your answer using the evidence cited and describing what your evidence revealed/relating it to the real world. Problem: Three liquids (water, glue, borax) are mixed together in a dixie cup. Will the resulting substance be a solid, liquid, or gas? In addition, upon creating the substance did a chemical or physical change occur?…

    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 "Control" icecube was melting faster than the "Testing" icecube in the first 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, the "Testing" icecube started melting at a faster rate than the "Control" icecube. This might have been because the "Testing" icecube drew enough heat particles from the alcohol for it to melt. Visually, the "Testing" icecube started melting from the middle which did not affect the height however, the "Control" icecube started melting from the bottom which was the reason why it seemed as if it were melting…

    The purpose of this experiment was to figure out which of the four foods could burn the longest and cause the most temperature change in water. To carry out this lab, all groups had to hold a piece of burning food under a can of water and record the change in temperature. Also, every piece of food had to be weighted before and after burning to see the change in mass. With the change in mass and the temperature change, you can then figure out what they total amount of calories for that piece of was. Table 1 above shows all of the data that my lab partner, Jamie, and I collected during our experiment.…

    The experiment that I will be conducting focuses on how fast one tablet of Alka seltzer can dissolve in various temperatures of water. The core of this procedure is to determine the impact that temperature has on how fast something dissolves. My hypothesis for this experiment would be that the Alka Seltzer that dissolves the fastest would be the one that was placed in the water with the highest temperature. There will be controlled and manipulated variables explained throughout the experiment. The two main things used in this experiment will be the solute and the solvent, which is Alka Seltzer and water.…

    I completed three 30 to 45 minute observations at three different lunch times, in varying temperatures throughout the course of two week. I conducted my observation from 12:30 to 1:00pm on Wednesday, 12:30 to 1:15pm on Thursday, and 12:30 to 1:00pm on the following Friday. My observation location was located at a table that faced the machine, at this location I could see both what flavor, toppings, and vessel (what the subject put their ice cream in) of the person at the machine. I took field notes on my laptop; many students are on their laptops in Lenoir, so I was not payed attention to. I was perceived as an insider so all the subjects interacted with the ice cream machine as they would do not under observation.…

    The purpose of this lab is to understand the effect that dissolved impurities will have on the freezing point of a mixture and what additive will affect the the freezing point the most. The freezing point of a liquid is, the point of a substance when the temperature of the solid and the liquid is equal. When water freezes the water molecules become organized and come closer together forming crystal particles of ice. When a solute (like salt) and a solvent (like water) mix together the salt becomes an impurity and makes it so the solution can’t crystallize.…

    I begrudgingly realized I was completing the experiment correctly and resumed my observation of the ice cube by placing a second ice cube into the glass of water. There was an audible sound as the second cube was placed into the water and I was surprised to find the same crackling noise resulting from the temperature differences did not occur with the second cube as it had the first. The tiny air bubbles present during the observation of the first ice cube were not nearly as frequent and immediate. At approximately thirty minutes of observation time I became increasingly frustrated and impatient and began to focus less on the importance of physical observation using my senses, and more of what the importance of the meaning of such as assignment could…

    A situation when I compared three samples is when I was trying to figure out what method of melting ice would work the best. During the winter it gets very icy and slippery on my driveway and walkways. I knew that something had to be done, because the last time my mother visited she slipped and fell and hurt her arm. I was on a mission to figure out what would be the best method to melt the ice. I was not sure what would be the best method to melt the ice quickly, so I have decided to test and compare rock salt, sand, and salt.…

    The objective of the lab was to find the calorie content of Cheetos and marshmallows. To do this we needed to use a calorimeter. The hypothesis was that Cheetos would have more calories because they have more fat in them. The Cheetos and marshmallows were lit and put in an oatmeal can calorimeter. The temputure change in the water leads to finding the calories in food.…

    Ice Cubes Lab Report

    Once I dropped my ice into the 100 degree water the ice floated; however, I noticed the little bumps on top of the ice stayed above the water while the rest was flush with the water (maybe like an iceberg). Next, I could see the blue stream downwards from the ice-cube to the bottom of the cup. I also noticed the ice cubes stayed next to one another and as the ice melted, it would periodically flip on its side. Since I timed this experiment, I know the ice cubes melted within seconds of each other at 2 minutes 3 seconds and 2 minutes 10 seconds. During the melting process, I watched the temperature gradually drop to 80 degrees.…
