Methanol: What Makes A Good Coolant?

The question that Maria and Elena are trying to answer by performing an experiment is whether cold water or hot water freezes fasters to make ice cubes.

After that I waited until the entire ice cube melted. This took about two hours or so. Now that the ice had all melted and absorbed into the paper towel I could see that the ice cube had either broke through the paper towel, absorbed fully into the paper towel or leaked though in some spots. When I was finished looking over what had happened, I wrote down the results and everything all of my observations.

Hypothesis: If the sugar in the ice cubes will cause the ice cubes to melt quicker than the ones without it. Equipment:  1 tablespoon (20 g) White Sugar  280 ml of water (this needed to be divided in half for the different types of ice cubes, so 140 ml for each ice tray and 10 ml for each cube)  2 ice trays (with 14 cube slots)  Freezer  2 Plates  Measuring jug  Stopwatch 

After 5 min passed the plastic container created a thin layer of ice surrounding the container.

Other substances that dissolve in water also lower the freezing point of the solution. The amount by which the freezing point is lowered depends only on the number of molecules dissolved, not on their chemical nature. This is an example of a colligative property. In this project, you'll investigate different substances to see how they affect the rate at which ice cubes melt. You'll test substances that dissolve in water (i.e., soluble substances), like salt and sugar, as well as substances that don't dissolve in water (i.e., insoluble substances), like sand and pepper. Which substances will speed up the melting of the ice?

The first part of the lab began by one lab member adding 10.0 mL of DI water to a test tube while another lab member obtained a beaker full of ice and salt. After both these steps were complete the test tube was put in the beaker full of ice. Immediately following the test tube be being placed in the beaker, a temperature probe was inserted into the test tube. The initial temperature was recorded and after the temperature was recorded in 30 second increments. Once the water exhibited supercooling and then remained consistent at .1 °C for 3 readings it was determined that the water had froze and formed crystals. Evidence that crystals formed allowed for it to be confirmed that the water actually hit freezing point at .0

I started with controlling my experiment environment. It was in a still kitchen, with no appliances running to minimize humidity and control the room temperature. I then broke my ice cube tray and finding cubes that weight .10grams. I set up my timer for each station. I put three-.10gram ice cubes in a identical contained on top of the pre measured ½ teaspoon of sugar, salt and baking soda, then I hit start on the timer. When the timer hit 15 minutes I picked up each ice cube and put it on another dry identical dish. I then measured the melted liquid, followed by measuring the melted ice cube alone. I repeated this three times to get an average.

I chose this method to keep the two Ice cubes separated during the experiment, and to see the two individual results of adding salt, or adding nothing to the ice. Keeping the Ice cubes separate allows no error in collecting data on each individual subject. Adding salt to one will not interfere with data collected on the ice cube melting with no additives. Some studies were very similar, but most used many different substances to test how quickly Ice would melt. These included for instance Sugar, and Sand.

2) When water freezes there are additional hydrogens bonds formed between molecules and those molecules become slow.

The “Coolest” Experiment Ever is a science fair project to determine whether or not mints have a cooling effect or is it just a sensation. The predicted outcome of the experiment is that if we add mints to a hot glass of water, it will cool down more than the glass without mints. The reason being is because mints contain menthol, a substance that melts just above room temperature. It triggers a cold-sensitive TRPM8 receptor which produces a familiar cooling effect. The basic procedures of this experiment is to fill two glasses with hot water, and add five mints every five minutes. After every trial, check the temperature using a thermometer. Record all the observations you have made with a critical eye. The predicted outcome of the experiment

I started to wonder how fast does dry ice evaporate and does a different liquid make it evaporate faster or

Get 2 basins, fill one with iced cubes and water, and fill the other one with warm

We dipped cardboard into the mixture which then after taking it out, we became more frozen and harder to blend than usual. We then poured out the alcohol and the dry ice was fused together when the alcohol was still in the bowl. We poured hot water in the bowl it started to create harmless gas type fog again. Our result were not valid to what we I was expecting. I understand that the certain objects we tested and dipped didn’t have effect because the material it is made

Introduction Molar mass is a fundamental quantity of chemistry. There are multiple ways to find the molar mass of a substance experimentally; one way is to use Freezing Point Depression by using the following equation: ΔT= kf*m (Robinson, 2018). The purpose of this lab was to do just that; measure the freezing point depression of a solution when a solute is added to a solvent, and from that, determine the molar mass of an unknown substance, along with learning about the influence that solutes have on liquid properties. A concept of importance to this experiment is freezing point. According to LibreTexts, “Freezing point depression is a colligative property observed in solutions that results from the introduction of solute molecules to a solvent…and

The specific property observed in this lab was the freezing point depression caused by the additives. This is the change in the freezing point between a standard solvent and said solvent with added solutes. This changes the entropy of the system, making the properties change somewhat, lowering the freezing point itself with the addition of more solute. Hence, the term ‘freezing point depression’.
