AHS Snack
For the AHS snack we took qualitative and quantitative data. First we took the mass in grams of the empty beaker, beaker and sample, and the sample alone. We did this by placing the samples on the scale and recording the amount. Then we collected the volume of all the beaker and samples. We first took the volume of the empty beaker by recording the possible amount of volume labeled on the side. Then we looked at the sample alone at eye level and recorded the amount. In addition to mass and volume we found the density by dividing the mass by volume of the beaker and sample. Later we took qualitative data, such as scent, color, texture, and stage of matter.
Slush
For the Slush sample we again took qualitative and quantitive data. First we took the mass in grams of the empty beaker, beaker and sample, and sample alone. We did this by placing the samples on the scale and recording the amount, but in order to find the mass of the slush sample alone we subtracted the mass of the empty beaker from the mass of the sample and beaker. Then we proceeded with finding the volume of all the beaker and samples. First we took the volume of the empty beaker alone by recording the labeled amount on the side of the beaker. Then we took the volume of the sample alone by packing the slush and recording the level. In addition to mass and volume of we found the density by dividing the mass by the volume of the beaker and sample. Later we took qualitative data, such as scent, color, texture, and stage of matter.
Melted Slush
For the Melted Slush we continued with the identical procedures as the Slush.
Filtrate/Collected Solids
For the filtrate we found the mass of the dry filter paper by placing it on the scale and recording the amount. Then we folded the filter paper into a cone which we then poured the melted slush into. We waited until the water had dripped into the beaker below it. Then we found the volume of the filtrate by measuring the water level with the beaker. Then we placed the wet filter paper with the collected solids onto the scale and recorded the amount.
Boiling Point/Dissolved Solids
In order to find the boiling point we first placed the distilled water sample on the hot plate which was still increasing temperature. Then we recorded each rising temperature for 10 minutes or until the temperature remained the same for three minutes. Then we placed the the filtrate on directly after the distilled water. We proceeded with the same steps. Then after our boiling point data was collected we kept the filtrate on the hot plate and allowed it to boil off completely. In the end we were left with the remaining salt at the bottom of the beaker. This was the dissolved solids. We then took the mass of the empty beaker, which we took from previous data. We also took the mass of the beaker and sample and sample alone.
Acid/Base
In order to determine the acid/base of both distilled water and the filtrate we used the small litmuses. We held a red litmus and a blue litmus in each the distilled water and filtrate. Then we compared the color change to the small color decoder. Then we recorded our data.
Density
For the density we took the mass and volume of the distilled water. We placed the beaker with the distilled water onto the scale and recorded the amount. We then subtracted the mass of the beaker to find the mass of the sample alone. We also found the volume by measuring the water level with the beaker. Later we divided the mass by the volume in order to find density and we recorded our information. Then we repeated the exact steps, but with the filtrate.
