Ice is a very slippery solid form of water and salt usually used usually to melt the salt. The reason salt melts the ice is because salt lowers the temperature for freezing ice so as the salt covers the ice the freezing point of the ice gets lowered (Holt, Rinehart, And Winston 2004). What is the best salt for lowering the freezing temperature of ice. The independent variable is all the different salts we are using, the dependent variable is the time in minutes that it will take to melt the ice. The constant is that for each ice cube we will use 10 grams to melt each ice cube. The control is the time in minutes it will take to melt the salt if there is no salt.
In the experiment we believe that the magic salt will take the least amount of
Ice is something we use and see every day, whether it is a block in our freezer or an icicle hanging from our roof. Ice is an important, yet subtle, part of our world. Ice is most commonly used to cool down our drinks and if you have ever noticed that ice in different shapes melt at different rates, then you are on to something. Ice with greater surface areas melt faster than ice with lesser surface areas.
The Dependent variable for this study is the amount of water absorbed by the paper towels. This will be measured in milliliters. The independent variable for this study is different brands of paper towels. The controlled variables will be the amount of water the paper towels are given to absorb, the size of the paper towels at the beginning of the experiment, and using the same measuring instruments in each trial. I will reduce the threat to internal validity by conducting the experiments in the
The Effect of Sugar On The Melting Rate Of Ice. Abstract: The melting rate of each type of ice cube was different, depending on whether they had sugar in them or not. One type of ice cube contained sugar, where the other one didn’t, and as a result, the lowering of the freezing point of the water seemed to be affected by the sugar.
For this science fair project, the independent variable is the temperature of the room, i.e. 20°C, 25°C and 30°C. The dependent variable is the length of the candle after it has burned for 30 minutes. This is determined by measuring the length of each candle with a ruler before it is lit and after it has burned for 30 minutes. The constants (control variables) are the type and length of the candle, the diameter of the candle and the time the candle is allowed to burn.
I have lived in a place that during the winter, ice would form on the streets and sidewalks and have wondered why things such as salt or sand are used over other methods to help de-ice the surfaces? Why is salt or sand the most commonly used substances when addressing this issue?
In my project, I will do an experiment to find out which material makes ice melt the fastest while the temperature of the room will remain the same. This research is important because if you are short on ice and you need it you can figure out which material will make your ice last the longest if you have no insulation. For example, if you were in the desert and had a cooler you would know what to put in your cooler to make your ice last the longest. I will be testing with three different materials: steel, wood, and fabric. My hypothesis is if the steel retains the ice's cold temperature then it will take the longest for the ice to melt. My goal is to help cooler companies improve their coolers by outlining them with whatever material helps
Variables: In this experiment, the temperature (in degrees Celsius) of the chemicals is the independent variable. To change the temperature, the materials are placed in a bath of water being heated by a hotplate.
The objective of this experiment is to test the melting point of ice against different variables. I will use a control of ice against air and test this next to ice in water, sugar on ice, salt on ice and Baking Soda on ice. By measuring the melting time of each element on an ice cube I will be able to tell which element affects ice’s melting properties at what rate.
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?
The experiment will start with two ice cubes. One will have nothing added to it, the other will have ½ tsp of salt sprinkled over it. Each will be separate on two different plates/containers. Time will be kept with a stopwatch, and notes will be taken throughout the experiment on the percentage of ice that has melted at certain points in time.
The first step is to help the injured person lie down, and it is better to be on the blanket to maintain the body temperature. This step is important because the affected area should be rested. For example, if your child has bleeding in the elbow or shoulder, moving his arm should not be allowed, and not use it to lift or carry things. Similarly, if he has bleeding in his joint or muscle, he should not walk as much as he possible until it heels.
In other words, it takes less energy to raise the temperature of the salt water 1°C than pure water. And in the winter time, adding salt to the ice lowers its freezing point, so even more energy has to be absorbed from the environment in order for it to melt.
The scientist will be doing an experiment on how sugar and salt affects the boiling point and the freezing point of water.
Economic growth is fundamental to sustain humanity; however, the demand is artificially mounting. Environmental concerns on the trend of our plant resources management is now becoming a primary global subject. Global warming is already an international agenda. One of the foremost apprehensions of global warming is, its pressure on the Arctic Ice sheet. The Arctic Ice sheet is the most sensitive and detrimental factor in understanding the well-being of our environment. In this research proposal, I tried to see if the current fear of global warming has evidence to prove, understand the cause and how much the Arctic Ice is affected by global warming. This research, based on scientific evidences, proposes on the weight of the degree of the concern and acclaim possible
Solute – A solute is the material (solid, liquid or gas) that is dissolved in the solvent to create the solution.
