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?
The goal for this lab is to be able to get the boiling water's temperature to increase by adding table salt. The problem it is trying to explain is, how does table salt affect the boiling temperature of water? does it increase or decrease? or does it stay the same?
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

If there are 1000 meters in a kilometer, how many meters are there in 0.05 km? 50 meters.
If there are 1,000,000 micrometers (µm) in a meter, how many µm are there in one millimeter (mm)?
1000 µm
If an object is 334 µm wide, how many mm wide is it? 0.334 mm.
If we have one Liter of a solution, how many milliliters (ml) is that? 1000 mL
Did your TAP water boil at 100 degrees C? If not, what might account for this? no, mine was close though it boiled at 100.5 C. i think this happened because The tap water most likely did not boil at exactly 100 degrees celsius because tap water is not pure H20. There are other impurities in it that would affect the boiling point.
An experimental control is a test that lacks the experimental variable. Was one of the solutions prepared in this lab a control? If so, which one? Yes, the tap water being boiled at a 100.5 C that receives no added table salt is the experimental control.
In our experiment, you controlled one of the factors. Which one (temperature or NaCl concentration) was it? i controlled the NaCI concentration.
This factor was the independent variable; it was controlled by you, the experimenter. The other variable was a consequence of changes you made. This is the dependent variable. It was a consequence of changes in the independent variable.
What factor (temperature or NaCl
1. Record your hypothesis about what will happen when Biuret solution is mixed with the solutions from test tubes 1, 2, 3, and 4 here. Be sure to use scientific reasoning to support your hypothesis.
If a car is going 60 miles per hour, how far will it go in feet in 1 minute?
To convert it to cm, you must times it by 1,000,000, so it is now 198,134,664cm3.
This section focuses on the analysis of your data. Draw a copy of the flow chart you made in class and attach it to your post laboratory assignments.
Test tube 2 will sit in the test tube rack, there is no bath needed to keep the tube at 23 degrees celsius, room temperature. This test tube that sits in the test tube rack is the control for the experiment. The control for the experiment is not the same as controlled variables. The controlled variables for this experiment were amount of 3.0% H202, amount of water, amount of time the beakers are kept in water bath, amount of enzyme per beaker, same size test tube, and same size beaker. Test tube 3 will have the enzyme sit in 37 degrees Celsius water, use a heat plate for this.
∴ 1.162*10-4m converted to micrometres is 116.2 micrometres. For comparing it with the manufacturer’s value (0.12mm), this value can be also be converted to millimetres which is 0.1162 and if rounded up, this value becomes 0.12mm.
Experiment- Experiment has three different methods. The first method is controlled experiments. In controlled experiments, researchers have a dependent variable that lets them
The experimenter begins by taking the temperature of the water and making sure that it is all at a temperature of 75 ° Fahrenheit. 2. The experimenter should start by creating the different sugar solutions. To create the control groups, 100mL of water is placed into three different cups.
In addition, this lab redesign gave my partner unlimited options on what we wanted to investigate. My partner and I wanted to test something that is involved in the equation of photosynthesis. In the end, we decided to test how the amount of carbon dioxide, represented by baking soda, affects the rate of photosynthesis. The results reflected what I believed would happen in my hypothesis. Despite all of the positives that was involved with this lab.
In this experiment we are trying to answer the question “Does salt and sugar affect the freezing point of water?” The scientists will be measuring what will happen to the freezing point (°C) of water when salt and sugar is frozen. The independent variable of this experiment is the amount of grams of salt and sugar being added into the solutions. The dependent variable of this experiment would be the freezing point of the solution measured by the thermometer. The controls of this experiment are the temperature of the environment (room temperature). The amount of solution put in each test tube,and the temperature of the ice put in each basin. Lastly, the shape of the basins.
This means that the sample of gold foil is 0.003323 cm thick. In order to convert the thickness into micrometers, the following conversion must be used:
The next section, experimental methodology, describes how the experiment was setup, carried out, and the conditions in which the experiment took place. Section 3 displays the results that were obtained from the experimental procedure, as well as provides a brief description as how the data were evaluated. Section 4 attempts to create a logical interpretation as to what the results mean, as well as identify any potential errors that may have skewed the results. Finally, section 5 summarizes the report, and suggests conclusions for the results posed throughout the experiment and potential solutions to errors discussed in section 4.
In an insulated container, you mix 200. g of water at 80ºC with 100. g of water at 20ºC. After mixing, the temperature of the water is 60ºC.
