Since vinegar has a low concentration of acetic acid(about 5%) it only has a pH of only ~2.4 and so is a weak acid.
Review of Related Literature According to Doctor Sergey stated that vinegar have lots of electronic magnet cells that can because electricity will small megabytes. During the experimentation, the researchers found out that 4 pieces of calamodins are enough to light a certain bulb. It is also found out that a coin which is hot copper and copper wires are not the appropriate materials in making the experiment. Instead of the materials mentioned used the copper coin and alligator wire. The galvanized nail also matter in lightning the bulb. Use the 1.5 inches galvanized nail to balanced the flow of the current.
Statement of the Problem
The researchers aimed to answer the following: 1. How much amount of vinegar that can make the light emitting diode bulb light? 2. Can vinegar bean alternative battery?
Significance of the Study This activity is done by the researcher with an important purpose. This activity is launched solely for the Fourth Year High school students of Surigao Education Center.
Scope and Limitations This study focused only on commercial vinegar as an alternative source of energy.
Definition of Terms * Battery – a device consisting of one or more electrochemical cells that convert stored chemical energy into electrical energy. * Vinegar – a liquid substance consisting mainly of acetic acid
Materials- candle ( 2cm diameter), matchbook, 2 toothpicks, Limewater solution, string, aluminum foil, Cobalt Chloride paper
Vinegar is a common household product, when mixed with the indicator, phenolphthalein, it turns pink. This indicates that Vinegar is acidic.
INSTRUCTIONS: All questions apply to this case study. Your responses should be brief and to the point. When asked to provide several answers, list them in order of priority or significance. Do notassume information that is not provided. Please print or write clearly. If your response is not legible, it will be marked as is and you will need to rewrite it.
Batteries store energy in chemical form. They release energy by pumping electrons’ through wires from the minus pole to the plus pole. Devices inbetween convert this energy to another form, Efficieny- e.motor=85%, combustion= 20%
To start the process, I easily collected all the items I needed from my kitchen cabinet and sent my 5-year-old daughter to collect the dullest pennies she could find from her piggy bank. Once the items were all gathered together on the kitchen table, I started the experiment with both my children’s eager help.
Equality 7-2521 had discovered a tunnel that contained remnants of the Unmentionable Times. By performing an experiment consisting of a dissected frog hanging from a copper wire and a metal knife, he later discovered and holstered the power of the sky, or electricity. With his discovery, he performed another experiment by sticking an iron rod outside of his tunnel during a thunderstorm, learning that the power of the sky causes lightning and that it is attracted to metal (Rand 52-54). After gathering multiple materials from around the tunnel, he combined them together and placed them into a box. When Equality 7-2521 closed the current, the wires of the lightbulb glowed without the use of flint or fire, and thus the invention was reborn. The single light consumed the entire room and was far brighter than any candle. Equality 7-2521 determined that his discovery and invention of a lightbulb, a symbol of knowledge, was far greater than any man and should be shared with all of his bothers. By sharing his invention with the World Council of Scholars, he would be forgiven
The density had to be determined by massing a known volume of the solution and dividing the mass by the volume. The percent by weight of acetic acid in the solution needed to be found by dividing the grams of solute from the grams of total solution. This required manipulation of the equations for density and molarity to reach the desired value. With this information, it was possible to compare both the molarities and the percent composition by weight of the vinegars to store bought
A battery is a gadget that changes over synthetic vitality into electrical vitality. Every battery has two terminals, an anode (the positive end) and a cathode (the negative end). An electrical circuit keeps running between these two anodes, experiencing a synthetic called an electrolyte (which can be either fluid or strong). This unit comprising of two anodes is known as a phone (regularly called a voltaic cell or heap). Batteries are utilized to control numerous gadgets and make the sparkle that begins a gas motor.
Then I attached the black clip to the coin and the red clip to the copper strip. I then placed each item in the copper sulfate solution and attached the opposite end of the black clip to the negative side and the red clip to the positive side of the battery. Then I waited ten minutes to observe the effects on the items. I then re-cleaned both items and followed the above steps, except the clips. I placed the red clip on the negative side and the black clip on the positive side of the battery. I performed this experiment with the coin and copper strip first and then re-performed the same experiment with the key and copper
We discovered that the acetic acid reacted only with baking soda and sample #2. The acetic acid did not react with the sucrose or the table salt. During the conductivity test, the conductivity meter showed that the aqueous form of each substance, sample 2 included, conducted electricity. As the conductivity test produced no conclusive data, we based our determination of sample 2’s nature on the reaction with acetic acid. Sample 2’s reaction was only comparable to that of baking soda, leading us to believe sample 2 is indeed baking
When recording my results I realized that my hypothesis was not acceptable the cheese cloth working as a filtration system removed most of the contaminants from the water with the vinegar added leaving very little change. In the other beakers it was as I expected, there was
The are a wide variety of batteries for sale, but all have the same underlying concept. A battery is a device that is able to store energy and when needed, convert that energy into electricity. Chemical potential energy converts to electrical energy.
The purpose of this experiment was to see which substance mixed with water would produce the most hydroelectricity. If salt were to be mixed with the water then, the mixture will conduct the most electricity. The first action that was done was to create the first mixture that would be tested which was water and sugar. The mixture was then tested with the battery and wires. The next step was to create the mixture of water and vinegar and then test it with the battery and wires. The next step was to create the mixture of salt and water and then test it with the battery and wires. The final step was to test the water by itself using the wires and battery. The results for the sugar and water mixture was a 0 meaning no light was produced. The results
The objective of this chapter is to describe the procedures used in the analysis of the data and present the main findings. It also presents the different tests performed to help choose the appropriate model for the study. The chapter concludes by providing thorough statistical interpretation of the findings.
