1 Data Activity 1 1. State a hypothesis for Activity 1 using an “if/then” statement. Remember to create a statement that is able to be tested empirically. Data Table 1 Run No. Cup Temp. (˚C) Time (sec.) Observations 1 C 9.7 60.2 Tablet sunk to bottom of cup 1 RT 25 30 Tablet sunk to bottom of cup 1 H 42.3 21 Tablet floated to top of cup 2 C 6.7 60.4 Tablet floated to bottom, light fizz 2 RT 25.1 21 Tablet floated to bottom then top 2 H 58.8 15 Tablet at top, heavy fizz 3 C 9.7 60.3 Tablet at bottom, light fizz 3 RT 24 40 Tablet at bottom then top, medium fizz 3 H 46.1 19 Tablet at top of cup, heavy fizz Avg. C 8.7 60.3 Avg. RT 24.7 30.3 Avg. H 49.0 18.3 2. Using graphing software such as Excel ® , graph the results of Activity 1. Please see the Introduction to Graphing manual for guidance. 3. What are the two variables that you graphed? Temperature and time 4. Which is the independent variable? Should it be on the X- or Y-axis? Why? Temperature. It should go on the x-axis because it is the cause. 5. Which is the dependent variable? Should it be on the X- or Y-axis? Why? Time. It should go on the y-axis because it is the effect. 6. Predict how many seconds it will take to dissolve an Alka-Seltzer ® tablet in 200 mL of water at the following temperatures. Use the exponential trend line to find the function used in predicting the time. If needed, please refer to the Introduction to Graphing manual for guidance. a. 35°C 15 sec © 2016 Carolina Biological Supply Company
2 b. 60°C 10 sec c. 80°C 1 sec Activity 2 7. List five questions about the rate at which Alka-Seltzer ® tablets dissolve if the temperature was held constant and one of the controlled variables was changed. 1. Will they dissolve at a slower pace with less water? 2. Will they dissolve faster with less tablet? 3. Will they dissolve a different speed if we used a different size container? 4. Will they dissolve faster with more water? 5. Will they dissolve slower with a full tablet? 8. Develop a new hypothesis based on one of the questions. Remember that a hypothesis must be testable with empirical or measurable data. Will the tablets dissolve at a slower pace if the water volume is decreased to 100 mL? Activity 2 Table State the hypothesis. Will the tablets dissolve at a slower pace if the water volume is decreased? Identify the independent variable. Temp Identify the dependent variable. Time List the controlled variables. Amount of water, cups used and half of the tablet How will the dependent variable be measured? A Timer If the hypothesis is true, what results are expected? If the hypothesis is true, it will take more time for the tablets to dissolve in 100 mL of water. © 2016 Carolina Biological Supply Company
