Results This experiment’s results revealed that the higher the temperature of vinegar that the egg was placed in, the less time it took for the eggshell to dissolve. A data trend showed that eggs in vinegar at a temperature of 62.8C took around twelve hours to completely dissolve their eggshell. Eggs set in vinegar at 24.5C took about sixteen hours to dissolve their eggshell and eggs in 1C vinegar took about twenty hours or more (Fig. 1, Fig. 2, Fig. 3). Figure 1. This line graph…

Fracking is a big controversial topic that has been argued for years because of the effects it can have on the environment. Fracking has been used since the 1940s to get natural gas from rocks such as limestone and sandstone. At first, the workers started to use small explosions to get the natural gas from the dead organisms in the stone. The oil and gas companies later changed by using water pressure which is known as hydraulic fracking. This sounds good but fracking can have…

Problem Statement Production from modern shale oil reservoirs is done typically through hydraulic fracturing in horizontal wells. Although this discovery has led to a massive increase in production in areas that were otherwise thought to be unprofitable, there is still an enormous amount of oil left in the reservoirs. It is estimated that oil recovery is less than 10% from shale oil reservoirs. 1 Of that 10%, is it estimated only 1-2% of the reserves are recoverable. With numbers so low, it is…

Scrub Daddy is a cleaning tool for dishes created by Aaron Krause. Aaron (aka daddy of the scrub daddy) describes it as the cutest high tech scrubbing tool in the world. He claims it is the greatest kitchen scrubby tool. The amazing thing about this product is that it completely changes its texture when submerged into cold or warm water. When in need for general scrub applications just submerge the smiley sponge into warm water to to make it soft. For the trickier gunk all you need to do is run…

Hydraulic fracturing, also known as fracking, is the process of drilling and injecting fluid into the earth’s surface at high pressures in order to fracture the clastic sedimentary rock or shale rock surface. Fracturing the shale rock releases the natural gas, petroleum, or water that could be trapped inside these underground natural reservoirs. The wells are drilled vertically into the earth’s surface for hundreds or thousands of feet and include horizontal or directional extensions to allow…

Throughout the years oil and gas compaines have come up with a technique known as fracking where people drilled into deep shale fromations to retreat natural gases and oil from the oceans. Fracking transformed the United States economic system by providing a new alternative at seeking oil and gas from the oceans, however not everyone agrred to the use of fracking and are considering fracking to be unsafe to the environment and the people and utlimately believing that fracking should be elimnated…

Fracking is defined as the process which entails drilling down into the earth surface. The drilling is done before the high-pressure water is channeled towards the rock with the aim of aiding in the release of the gas inside. Sand, chemicals, and water are, therefore, injected into a particular rock coupled with high pressure to enable efficacy in the flow of gas out to the head of the well. It is worth noting that the working of fracking entails several steps. The first step is on drilling a…

satisfying and relaxing. You also might know this a silly putty or goo. It is unique because it has properties of both a liquid and a solid. The Science The science behind this slime is awesome! A unique polymer, this slime is made mostly out of glue. Because of the glue’s long and flexible molecules, the slime has properties of both a liquid and a solid. A borate ion is formed by mixing borax in water. When the borax solution is mixed into the…

Emulsion Independent Research Project A combined effort of Timothy Chase Willard and Marcus Bortey of Mr. Cork’s Second Period chemistry class December sixteenth of 2014  Background Information An emulsion is a mixture of two or more chemicals in liquid form with no mutual solubility. Emulsions are part of two-systems of matter called colloids. Colloids are particles that cannot be seen without the use of a microscope, but are larger than the size of the individual molecules involved in the…

Observations or reactions: Separation of the basic component: When 2ml of 3M HCl was added to the mixture of Benzoic acid, Ethyl 4-aminobenzoate, 9-Fluorenone, diethyl ether, two layers were created, an organic yellow top layer and a clear aqueous bottom layer. The clear layer (basic layer) was extracted and placed into a container where 6M NaOH was add to the solution. The addition of NaOH made the solution basic, and created white flakes in the solution. The white flakes were separated by…
