Lab Report: Scientific Method
Your Name: Alyssa Melincoff
Purpose of this Lab
What is the goal of this lab? What question is it trying to answer, or what problem is it trying to explain?
To find out how table salt affects the boiling temperature of water.
Hypothesis
After reading the lab instructions - but before starting the lab - record your best “educated guess” about what will happen in the experiment. What hypothesis can you generate about the effect of adding salt to water?
Adding table salt to boiling water will cause the water to boil at a higher temperature
Experimental Design
List the materials used in this lab, and the procedure you followed.

Use the digital thermometer. Record the temperature when the pot reaches a rolling boil.
Data
Record the data you collected in the lab. (The data table and the graph.)

Analysis
Analyze the data you collected in the lab. How does the data presented above relate to the hypotheses you generated earlier in lab? Are any hypotheses disproved by your experiment? Use your graph to determine the boiling point of a solution made with 2 ½ tablespoons. This use of a graph has generated a hypothesis that a 2 ½ tablespoon solution boils at __219__degrees F. Prepare a 2.5 M solution and verify your hypothesis.Correct!
•Is the hypothesis correct? Yes. Adding table salt to water causes the water to boil at a higher temperature.
•Problems with doing the experiments. The temperature readings were hard to make. Gloves had to be worn to keep my hands from getting too hot. Had to be careful that the stove heat was not hitting the thermometer.
•Other things learned. Be careful when adding salt to boiling water. It makes the water boil vigorously for a second or two.
Conclusion After conducting the experiment, how would you now explain the problem(s) or answer the question(s) raised when you described the purpose of the lab? Be sure to base your answer on the data you collected. If you are given a

Step 2: Place a saucepan with tap water on a burner and bring to a boil.
3. Do you think sugar or salt will melt at a higher temperature? Explain your answer.
Based on the results of your experiment, would you reject or accept the hypothesis that you produced in question 1? Explain how you determined this.
Introduction :You will be exploring three scenarios and conducting observations on the physical and chemical changes in matter: The Iced Tea Debate, Salty Soup, and Fire Bug.
This document is not meant to be a substitute for a formal laboratory report. The Lab Report Assistant is simply a summary of the experiment’s questions, diagrams if needed, and data tables that should be addressed in a formal lab report. The intent is to facilitate students’ writing of lab reports by providing this information in an editable file which can be sent to an instructor.

If saltwater is applied to a plant, the plant would shrivel up and die. This is a result of the water moving out of the cells in order to try to balance the concentration of solute compared to inside the cell. The water movement out of the cell would cause the cell to shrink and the lack of water would eventually cause the plant to die.
If you dissolve a substance such as ordinary table salt (NaCl) in water, the boiling point of the water will increase relative to the boiling point of the pure water. In this assignment, you will dissolve a sample of NaCl in water and then measure the boiling point elevation for the solution.
BEFORE CONDUCTING THE EXPERIMENT - You should already have submitted to your teacher an EXCELLENT Investigation Design that included:
1. (10 points) Write out your pre-lab prediction, including what evidence or previous knowledge you have to support that prediction.
could be the reason? The experiment was conducted at 6600ft. Water tends to boil at a lower temperature at higher altitudes.
In experiment two, “Hand-soaking,” I took the remainder of the salt water solution, which was approximately one cup and placed it into a cereal bowl. Into a second cereal bowl, I placed one cup of tap water solution. I placed one of my hands into the salt water solution and the other hand into the tap water solution. I let my hands soak in each of the solutions for 30 minutes and then observed the
The law proves that natural selection is necessary for evolution to occur ("SparkNotes: population genetics," 2014). The conditions set up by the Hardy-Weinberg Law allow for variability (the existence of different alleles) and inheritance, but they eliminate natural selection ("SparkNotes: population genetics," 2014). The fact that no evolution occurs in a population meeting these conditions proves that evolution can only occur through natural selection ("SparkNotes: population genetics," 2014). The Hardy-Weinberg Law allows us to estimate the effect of selection pressures
