Mystery Mixture Analysis
If you get a substance liquid or solid take it and try test try to figure it out what it is. When you bring it in have your other 5 buddies help test to see what it is. They should all try different chemicals from the other people. They see should all look at the chemical and physical appearance. My claim is the the mystery mixture was Citric acid, road salt, and baking soda. The reason I thought it was this mixture because of the physical and chemical appearance.

I agree with baking soda road salt and citric acid.The baking soda gives the mixture a powdery texture.The road salt are the little pebbles in the mixture. The citric acid is what make the road salt get smaller. The reason i don’t think it was anything else because, what would

    After examining seven additional substances, there were many pieces of evidence that help conclude that the mystery mixture ( number 8) is composed of citric acid and sodium bicarbonate the same as mixture six . At first when just observing the dry mixtures, it was hard to determine which ones were identical to the mystery mixture. In order to figure out which substances combined to make the mystery mixture, another process we followed was adding water to the substances and observing the reaction. Adding water to the mixtures resulted in a chemical reaction. The materials fizzed and bubbled due to the reaction.…

    A few weeks ago, I got a container full of “sludge”. I was asked to separate it into its four components and identify each one to help me better understand how to separate mixtures ad identify substances. My original sludge had a liquid on top and solid(s) on the bottom. The liquid was clear, and most of the solid was tan. There was a small layer of blackish/brownish particles in the middle of the tan solid. There were small yellow “rocks” visible on the surface of the tan solid. For the first physical observation, I tried smelling the mixture. It smelled like permanent marker. Next I tried sticking a spoon in it and stirring the tan solid lightly. It looked like it was an…

    Eighth graders have to find out what a mystery mix is from an assortment of chemicals, by adding water and mixing them together. Some think it is citric acid and baking soda, and some still think it’s citric acid, baking soda, and Epsom salts. Then they looked at the mix dry and it looked too rectangle and rocky, then what the mystery mixture seemed to be. Citric acid is more circular than Epsom salt. But other people thought it was Epsom salt, and the baking soda covered the Epsom salt to make it look white. But most figured out that that’s not true, baking soda might cover the clear part of the Epsom salt but it doesn't mean it could change the shape of it too.…

    We were able to deduce what the substances were and who ransacked the chef’s kitchen. Substance #1 was corn starch, and substance #2 was baking soda. The evidence I found most persuasive was that substance 2 (baking soda) was found in the banquet hall owner’s house and all over the counter. Because the baking soda was spilled all over the counter and was also found in the banquet hall owner’s home, it proves that the hall owner was responsible for this crime. We would not have been able to make an educated deduction without performing the two tests. We would have needed to know what substance was baking soda by seeing how it reacts to vinegar and water.…

    The first step in this experiment was to ask a question. My question was what is the identity of the six unknown substances? The second step was to create a hypothesis based on what I already know about each unknown substance. Third step was to test my hypotheses by using six methods. The first method was to determine the color of each substance. The second method I used was to calculate the density of each substance. I did this by first estimating the volume and then weighing each substance with a digital scale. To calculate the density I divided the mass by volume. The third method is to use the magnifying lens and look at the shape of each substance particle. Along with determining the shape I also recorded the texture and smell for each substance. The last step was to text the solubility of each substance. I did this by mixing each substance in 6 different test tubes with 5 ml of distill water. I shook each tube to see if the substance dissolved. After completing all 6 steps…
