To start off the experiment, the group collected the materials as listed above prior to the start of the experiment. Safety precautions that should be noted before the beginning of this lab are, no covering the container in which the reaction is about to take place, and it is recommended to keep the temperature of the water between 5-85°C. With the beginning of the experiment, three 250 mL beakers were taken each to hold different temperatures of water. Taking the first beaker, water was taken from the tap in which ice-cubes were placed in order to make it cold, was poured into the beaker. After pouring the water into the beaker, a thermometer was used, and placed inside of the beaker in order to measure and record the temperature of the ice-cold …show more content…
A second trial was done again, repeating the same process as explained above for this part. Following the next part of the procedure, a second 250 mL beaker was taken in which water as taken from the tap, at room temperature was poured into the beaker. After pouring the water into the beaker, a thermometer was used, and placed inside of the beaker in order to measure and record the temperature of the ice-cold water (22.7 °C).Taking an Alka-Seltzer tablet, the tablet was split in half by breaking it apart and placing it into the beaker. Once the tablet was placed in water, the start button was pressed on the stop watch in order to record the amount of time taken for the tablet to completely dissolve within the water. Once it was seen that the tablet was fully dissolved, stop on the stopwatch was pressed and data was recorded. A second trial was done again, repeating the same process as explained above for this part. Furthermore reaching the last part of the experiment, a hot plate was plugged in and was set to the highest setting. On the hot plate the last beaker was placed on it, in which water taken from the tap was poured into
