Water Polarity experiments

Today in Chemistry 11 we ran a total of 4 experiment exploring water polarity.

Paper Chromatography

In this experiment we had a piece of paper with food coluring on it dipped into water. We watched the water go up the piece of paper and take the colouring with it. I used green food colouring so I also got to see it split into yellow and blue.

The food colouring didnt go up all the way with the water. This is because the paper and the water were fighting over bonding with the food colouring. In the end the paper won as the water kept goin leaving the food colouring behind.

Oil, water and soap mix

In this experiment we put some water into a test tube to which we added oil. The oil and water stayed seperated even after tyring to mix them together.

After I added soap to the tube before mixing the soap stayed inbetween the oil and water. After mixing the consistency of the soap and oil was snotty.

Lycopodium Powder

I covered the surface of a dish with water which I then sprinkled a layer of lycopodium powder over. The powder stayed on top of the powder. I then took a q-tip dipped in soap and put it in the cencter of the dish. The powder repelled rapadly away from the soap to the edges of the dish.

Water Tension

Not much to say about this one. The water was able to keep its bond between eachother even when there wasn’t anything supporting it from the sides.

What Dissolves in Water

There are a lot of things that dissolve in water, after all it is called the universal solvent. Water is called the universal solvent because it can disolve more substances than any other liquid. Even with the fact that it can dissolve the most things by default, a lot of things are made so that they can dissolve in water and it’s also the reason we are switching to things like paper straws. So what are some things that can dissolve in water? Right of the top of our head we can say salt and sugar, two simple substances. That brings up the question, is it that water can dissolve salt and sugar or can all other liquids as well?

The Experiment

So because of our internet problems we ended up doing an experiment in class to see what can dissolve in water. What we ended learning though is that not all  liquids can dissolve sugar and salt.

First I measured about 0.4 grams of salt and sugar in 1 tube each, next I filled the tubes with approximatly 12ml of water each. After a good shake both the salt and sugar had dissapeared dissolving into the water.

Next I did the same thing but with the rubbing alcohol which didnt dissolve the sugar or the salt which was really surprising to me.

Conclusion

In conclusion we learned that water is more capable of dissolving than rubbing alcohol and that even though we use it all the time it’s a pretty cool and intresting thing.

We thought of another problem, what if there are clouds blocking the sun? Well there is a simple salution for that. We will have a set adjustable timer. For example without the timer if you like to sleep in, on a cloudy day you would sleep in till like 1pm, which is not a good thing as it will mess up you sleep schedule and you will lose half your day. With the timer even if the sun isint shining there will be a set time that will let the alarm know that, oh there is no sun but it’s already getting late we have to wake him up.

So our first idea was to have a shower head that automatically put shampoo in the water while showering, but we ran into a problem. We couldn’t figure out how to program that using a micro bit. So we decided to change our idea into a summer “fun in the sun” alarm clock. It’s an alaram clock that you use during the summer! But how does it work? This alarm clock is used to maximize the amount of time you can spend having fun in the sun, the micro bit senses the light from the sun using it’s light sensor then it starts flashing lights and playing it’s annoying sound to wake you up.

About Me

Hello I’m Murat Kamalov I’m a freshman at Dr. Charles Best Secondary. Outside of school I play basketball, do martial arts, play video games, hangout with friends and sleep. I’m really excited this school year because I get to meet alot of new people and make alot of new friends.

My Favourite Quote

“Talk to me nice or don’t talk to me at all”- Lil Uzi Vert

This quote is important to me because I feel like anybody can relate to this. Do you really want anybody talking to you if they aren’t saying something nice? I don’t and I don’t think you do either. But most importantly I think it’s cool that my favourtie artist said something that I always think.

My Favourite Youtube Clip

This is my favourite clip on youtube, because for some people it could be a wakeup call to finally get their lives together. But to me it’s just a funny video. I find it funny that from  different perspectives 1 video can be so different.

My Favourtie Picture

This is a picture of my Louis Vuitton purse. I invested money into it and I’m about to sell it for a huge profit. This purse has impacted me by showing me that sometimes you just have to jump in and hope for the best and that if I never do that I will regret my decision. It’s also taught me to be patient and wait for the best offer that you get instead of making a decision right away.

My Favourite Website

This is my favourite website. Without that website my laptop would be completly useless as that is my bridge between me and the internet. I use it everyday.
