Solid/Liquid/Gas Lab

Introduction:
You will need to write a short introduction (some background information) here about states of matter, especially about how matter changes from one state to another. You should wait to write this introduction until later, after you have done your research. You could even wait to write your introduction until after you are completely nished with this lab.

Your introduction should include some things you learned about what happens to matter as it changes from one state to another. You should cite your bibliographical sources within the introduction. Molecules behave differently for a solid, liquid and gas. The molecules in a solid are packed together and stay in a xed volume/position. In a liquid the molecules move freely in groups and have and does not have a xed position, but has a xed volume. The molecules in a gas mover all over the place and have them most freely moving molecules out of the three. They dont have a xed volume or shape. (from Mr McKinneys web page) As you add energy (heat) from a solid the molecules change into those of a liquid as does the physical look of the object. It is the same with a liquid as you add or remove heat the molecules change to those of a solid or a gas it is the same with a gas.

Research questions:
The purpose of this experiment is to answer to following question:

As water changes from one state to another, will particle movement increase, decrease or stay the same? (solid to liquid to gas to liquid, etc.)
You will need to write some specic research questions here. You can write these ahead of time, or as you do your research. By the end, you should know: How do the molecules behave in a solid? Solids are packed together in a pattern and in a xed position, volume. How do the molecules behave in a liquid? Shape of hte container that contains liquid and has a xed volume. The particles move freely in groups. How do the molecules behave in a gas? No order and moves independently and takes up the shape of whatever contains it. What happens to the molecules as they change from a solid to a liquid?

From solid to liquid it must gain thermal energy and as the solid has more and more thermal energy the particles will vibrate and raise the temperature to make it melt. What happens to the molecules as they change from a liquid to a gas? Adding thermal energy makes the water particles rise to the surface and escape into the air. What happens to the molecules as they change from a gas to a liquid? When the gas particles lose enough thermal energy it will turn into a liquid. What happens to the molecules as they change from a liquid to a solid? When adding thermal energy the liquid particles slow down enough that they form a regular pattern. What causes matter to change from one state to another state? Increase and decrease of thermal energy.

Variables:
The independent variable is: (the one variable that you will change) The dependent variable is: (The variable that you are investigating) The change of the state of matter by adding heat.

What the particle movement is like in each state of matter.

Control Variables
The factors that you keep the same, so that the experiment is a fair test. Try and list at least 5.

Factors to be controlled: 1. The amount of heat used.

Reason it needs to be controlled: Different heats can lead to different times for melting or evaporating. If you put the thermometer in different places it will get different readings on the temperature. If you use different amounts it will take longer or less time and wont be accurate.

How it will be controlled: Always use the same temperature.

2. Keep the thermometer in the same place.

Always hold it in the same place.

3. Use the same amount of liquid or solid.

Always use the same amount of liquid and solid.

Hypothesis:
What will happen to the dependent variable as the independent variable is changed? The molecules will speed up as the ice (solid) will change to a liquid. They will also spread around the container. As the heat goes up the water will boil and gas (steam) will rise out of the container or if there is a lid it will ll the container with steam (gas) Why? Because I learned in my research that when you add energy (heat) the states of matter can change for example ice, water, steam or solid, Speed of molecules liquid, gas. As you add Gas energy the states of matter change and Liquid the molecules speed up and move around more. What Solid would that relationship

Conclusion:

From the graph, the results show (What happens to the dependent variable as the independent variable changes?) . . . The particles in the water move faster as the dependent variable (temperature) is changed. I can see that in the water, the water is swirling around a bit and there was a insect in our pot of water and I could see that it was dead and oating around a lot the bug couldnt do this because it was dead so the water particles where the ones moving.

Glass with water in

This happens because as I said in my hypothesis when you add heat (energy) to a solid (ice) the molecules will change as the solid turns into a liquid. The molecules seperate and ll the shape of the area they are in but not change there volume. As they change to a gas the particals seperate even more and ll the shape and volume of the area.

Reliability of data. The measuring instruments.

Explanation (why / why not?)

a) Did the measuring instruments collect data that can be trusted? Yes/ No

The thermometer was correct because it was to 1 degree measurement The beaker was not correct because it just goes between for example 300-350-400 not 310 (in tens) so we would have to estimate I think my watch was correct

No we did it once. b) Was the experiment repeated enough times?

Yes/ No
We only did one trial. but the data was kind of presise c) Did the measuring instrument collect precise data? (i.e. Did the multiple trials give similar data?) Yes/ No Size of sample.

d) was the range large enough? Yes/ No

Why/ Why not?

No because the temp was suposed to go to 100 but we only went to 73

Were there any surprising results? What were they?

Yes I found the time it took to get the water to boil surprising because usually it does not take to long.
