The Amount of Sugar in a Carbonated Beverage
Abstract The purpose of this lab was to determine the percent of sugar in a solution as well as the percent sugar in a non-diet soda. The experiment was The experiment was carried out by comparing densities of sugar in soda to the density of sugar in solution of water. After the experiment it was found that the manufacturers measurements were accurate.
Introduction
The purpose of this lab was to determine if the information on the nutrition labels was correct for sugar. This lab could be used to find the content of sugar in and flat soft drink. Also companies may use a procedure very similar to find the percent of sugar

Column one shows the amount of water you start with which is 50ml. Column two is the mass of an empty graduated cylinder measured in grams. Colum three is the number of sugar cubes used starting from zero, then adding one until you reach four. Column four is the mass of the sugarcubes from column 3. Column five is the mass of the graduated cylinder, the water, and the sugar combined. Column six is just the mass of the water and the sugar.

Weigh the beaker with water in it, record this value in Data Table 1 and subtract the mass of the beaker to get the mass of the water. Record this value in Data Table 1.
Procedure: Measure the volume, mass, length and temperature of a variety of items. Create dilution of sugar water.
The purpose of this lab is to separate a mixture and determine the percentages of each of the ingredients. Each substance will have a different boiling point due to its intrinsic properties and from that, we will be able to determine the purity of different products as we evaporate off the next level of product.
The table above displayed the data we figured out concerning the mass of each substance. First, we weighed the cup alone that contained the unknown substance. It weighed 3.5 g. Then, weighed the cup with the unknown substance. It weighed 32.5 g. The final mass was determined by subtracting the cup mass (3.5 g) from the cup mass with the unknown substance (32.5 g). I figured out the final mass was 29 g. Next, we weighed the cup alone that contained the aluminum. It weighed 3.5 g. Then, weighed the cup with the aluminum. It weighed 17 g. The final mass was determined by subtracting the cup mass (3.5 g) from the cup mass with the aluminum (17 g). I figured out the final mass was 13.5 g. After that, we weighed the cup alone that contained zinc. It weighed 3.5 g. Then, weighed the cup with the zinc. It weighed 19.7 g. The final mass was determined by subtracting the cup mass (3.5 g) from the cup mass with the zinc (19.7 g). I figured out the final
Gum chewing has been around for at least 3,000 years, all around the world. Gum chewing was around during the ancient greeks, the mayans, and was introduced to americans in the late 1860’s. The first bubble gum was sold in 1928 and was pink because that was the only color in the factory; pink is still one of the most popular colors of chewing gum today. In this experiment, I will be finding the percentage of sugar in the Bubbilisious Strawberry gum. To find this I will need to record the data of 625 chews, recording the mass every 25 chews.
The purpose of this lab was to test and see if honey, egg, saltine, and hamburger where either positive or negative for sugar, starch, lipids, or proteins. What I know about scientific concepts is a law that explains why something happens. An example would be an apple falling off a tree, tis explains our law of gravity. The scientific concepts of this lab according
The purpose of this lab was to identify if non-labeled food products are actually genetically modified foods. Before we could begin testing this theory we first had to gain an understanding about genetically modified organisms in general. This was rather easy because if you have been to any grocery store lately you have without a doubt seen products with labels saying "GMO-free" or even "contains only non-GMO ingredients." GMO actually stands for Genetically Modified Organisms, and this refers to any products that have been manipulated or altered at the gene level.
Directions: Design your own experiment to test some variable of the Diet Coke and Mentos lab. Identify one variable that you will change and test – this will be your Independent Variable.
The controls in this lab are distilled water and baking soda solution because they are tested in every part of the lab. It is important to have these controls for each test because they do not contain any macromolecules so they should test negative for carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids, and providing a base example of a negative reaction. This is useful because it is known they should not contain any of the macromolecules, so if they reacted, it is possible cross contamination occurred. Knowing whether cross contamination occurred allows students to examine their results more carefully.
Most people think that obesity is a choice well, the New York City Health Department doesn’t think so. As of Thursday, the New York Health Department became the first in the nation to ban the sale of sugared beverages larger than 16oz. at restaurants, mobile food carts, sports arenas and movie theaters (Park). The New York Health Department feels that they need to start to make a change against how people have their diets so people aren’t as lazy and have more motivation. This is important, because if people have more motivation to do certain activities such as cleaning, playing with their children, going out of the house, as long with much more that they cannot do as an obese person. As people can see, most people who are active and eat healthy have a good life style and tend to live longer as well. This ban against sugared beverages would prevent retailers who sell prepared food from also dispensing sugared beverages.
Michelle Pham mtp738 50575 Experiment 1 Measurement and Density The objective of the experiment is to understand measurement and density by comparing the density of Diet Coke and Coke. The experiment is also meant to help further the understanding and use of lab equipment as well as the basic foundation to starting and analyzing lab data. Random error is an unpredictable error that slightly affects the precision of data.
The materials used during the experiment included three plastic cups, three gummy bears, masking tape, marker, balance, calculator, tray, one plastic spoon, a measurement tray, and a ruler. The three plastic cups were used to hold the tap water, salt water, and sugar water. The masking tape and marker were used to label each cup with the
The tubes are removed using a clamp and the concentration of maltose is compared using the following scale: red (+++), orange-yellow (++), green (+), blue (-).
The purpose of this lab was to investigate the amount of sugar in carbonated beverages by using the density of solutions, and also to create a standard curve with the percent sugar in sugar solutions.
“It is recommended that most women get no more than 100 calories a day of added sugar from any source, and that most men get no more than 150 calories a day of added sugar.*” Too much of any added sugar can lead to cavities, dental problems, etc. Unfortunately, sugar consumed in liquid form, such as sodas or juices, get into hard to reach places in your mouth. Even with regular brushing, sugars from those drinks can be difficult to reach, forming the growth of harmful bacteria. Severe erosion caused by sugars can lead to many serious issues on the teeth and enamel, such as tooth loss, cavities, gum surgery, etc. Drinking too much sugary drinks negatively affect not only our health, but our teeth.
