Self Inflating Balloon
Self-inflating Balloons:
This Physical science topic demonstrates my maximum understanding of physical science concepts because it reviews the information we learned in class about acids and bases. An acid is a material that can release a proton or hydrogen ion (H +). A base is a material that can donate a hydroxide ion (OH-). In this project “Self-inflating Balloons” I am trying to demonstrate how filling a balloon with baking soda and pouring it into a portion of vinegar will make a chemical reaction. When the two substances mix, you get carbonic acid, which is unstable, comes apart, and become carbon dioxide and water. Since the carbon dioxide is much less dense it inflates the balloon. The evidence presented to provide that I have progressed

    The results show that before placing the Alka-Seltzer tablets Into the conical flask the mass does not slowly change until the Alka-Seltzer tablets are released into the water to start the chemical reaction (tablets dissolving) and as the tablets dissolve, gasses are released (carbon dioxide), which makes the total mass increase. In test one without the balloon the total mass increased by 4.88grams and in test two with the balloon the total mass increased by 7.73grams, this shows that when the balloon is placed over the conical flask that gases from the tablets are released and concealed within the balloon and greatly increases the total mass.…

    If an undetected air bubble was trapped inside the gas collection tube, how would this affect your calculated percent yield? Explain your answer. The percent yield is increasing. Because as you are doing your experiment the data needs to be as accurate as it can get, and by an air bubble being trapped inside the gas tube it is going to cause some of your data to be off. More than likely the weight and by doing this it will be increasing your percent yield because it will falsely be increasing the amount of mixture you have, because the bubble is making up for mass that is not accountant for.…

    How baking soda works: When moisture is added to the batter, an acidic component (for example: yoghurt, chocolate, buttermilk or honey etc.) The chemical reaction that results is the production of bubbles of carbon dioxide which widen under oven temperatures causing the baked product to grow in size. Baking soda is a single-agent which means that the chemical reaction begins immediately when the ingredients are added so recipes with baking soda have to be made immediately or they will become useless and become flat.…

    In this experiment our main objective was to create three gaseous oxides CO₂, SO₂ and NO₂ by using data that was collected using a pH sensor which was connected to a laptop with LoggerPro and Vernier. We created the gases by bubbling each gas into the water to create the three acidic solutions we were looking for. Once that step was completed, the pH levels of all three solutions were compared to each other to see the different strengths of each solution. As a result we found that NO₂ had the highest pH level change out of all the three gasses that we collected.…

    UFO or NASA weather balloon? There is a wealth of UFO sightings around the world. There is also always someone around to see it. These videos are full of shaky footage and interesting commentary. It could be a UFO? And the video is put to the test through peer evaluation, usually on YouTube. Rational folk always have an answer. A drone. Trump flying around with bat wings. Or a more simpler explanation, a NASA weather balloon. It would be difficult to dismiss the chance that a real UFO has been caught on film. But over the next 100 days or so, you may simply be recording a NASA weather balloon. Since NASA has one hovering around the earth somewhere at an altitude in upwards of 100,000 feet.…

    The goal of this lab was to determine the amount of grams of sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) required to produce enough CO2 gas to completely fill the lab and also how many Alka-Seltzer tablets that would equate to. This was done by collecting CO2 gas by inverting a buret and submerging it under water in order to calculate the volume of CO2 released from a fragment of Alka-Seltzer tablet. The main component of Alka-Seltzer is sodium bicarbonate, used to neutralize excess stomach acid during illness through the following reaction that generates CO2:…
