Testing for hydrogen gas

Aim: To show that hydrogen gas is produced when a metal reacts with acid.

Method:

1. Light the Bunsen burner
2. Add your sample of metal to your test tube, add 2mL of acid. 
3. Carefully invert the boiling tube above the test tube containing the metal and acid
4. Hold the test tubes together fr a few minutes, allowing time for the inverted boiling tube to full with gas.  
5. When you thing the tube is full , your lab partner should  light a wooden splint. 
6. Carefully but quickly, tilt the boiling tube full of gas upwards and insert the burning splint into the mouth of the test tube 

Results : 

It fizzed when we added the acid and metal together, and when we put the flaming splint into the test tube, it made a squeaking sound. 

Discussion: 

Well when we started and put the acid and metal together it started fizzing up because of the chemical reaction of metal and acid.  And when we had captured all of the hydrogen in the top that the metal, acid reaction made, and then brought fire to it, it made a screeching sound and that cause of that was the Hydrogen reacting with the oxygen around it when we brought heat into the mix. 

Conclusion: 

When we did it the experiment worked and it did exactly what we expected it to do. And overall it was a really good experiment and it was a great time. 

Hunger games setting

What am I learning? In this i am learning to describe a setting and say why it is relevant in the movie and what impact it has on the viewers.

How does this show my learning? This shows my learning because it shows that I understand the task and it shows that I can point out the relevant settings.

What am I wondering as a result of y learning?  I am wonder what other places have significance in the movie.

1 What went well and why? 

Researching went well for me and i managed to find lots of relevant information. 

Presenting my work in a nice way, it made it look nice and it is all organised. 

2 What didn’t go so well and why?

Researching at the start was difficult because it was hard to find what to search and finding the right sources.

3 If you were to do this again what would you do differently and why?

I would research a wide variety of the places before i choose my set country to do research on. I would manage my time a lot more and get to it instead of messing around and leaving it until the last minute because i cut it really close.

Colour wheel

Last term we made these colour wheels in textiles. For this we got the paper we needed and then we got to choose how we wanted to draw it. I chose to draw mine like this. The big circles are the primary colours then the middle sized circles are the secondary colours and the little circles are the tertiary colours. So the primary colours, if you mix two of them it makes the secondary colours, and if you mix a secondary colour and a primary colour it makes a tertiary colour.

Testing Ph

AIM: To test the pH range of household chemicals

Equipment: A variety of household chemicals, spotting tile, red litmus paper, blue litmus paper, Universal indicator soloution, safety glasses.

Method:
1:add a few drops of each chemical to a spot on your spotting tile. if a subtance is solid or powdered you will need to add a few drops of water before testing it.
2:test the chemicals with the blue and red litmus paper.
3. Test each chemical with a few drops of universal indicator.

Results:

Chemical being tested	Colour in blue litmus paper	Colour in red litmus paper	Colour in Universal indicator
Toilet cleaner	It went red	Nothing	Red
Dish soap	Went red	Nothing	Yellow
Spray n Wipe	Went red	Blue	Blue
Baking soda	Nothing	Nothing	Blue

Discussion: So back we did this experiment we got everything we needed and we got to work. After it was all set up we got to add the indicator into one of each of the little half spheres to tell us what the pH level was. In the next row of treys we added blue litmus paper and if it went red it means its an acid and if it stayed blue it is either a base or a neutral substance. The final one we added red litmus paper and it is the same as the blue but in reverse. With the universal indicator the more red it goes it means the stronger an acid and the more blue - violet it goes it means the stronger the base it is. 

Conclusion:                                                                                       Evidence from the investigation

Chemical being tested	Acid or base
Toilet cleaner	Acid	It went red with indicator and blue litmus paper
Dish soap	Acid	It went red with indicator and blue litmus paper
Spray n Wipe	Base	It went Blue with indicator and Red litmus paper
Baking soda	Base	It went Blue with indicator and Red litmus paper

Neutralisation

Aim:
To Observe A Neutralization reaction.

Equipment: A test tube, Test tube rack, A base, an acid, Dropper, Universal indicator.

Method:
1. Add approximately 1-2mL of Sodium carbonate and place the test tube into the test tube rack. Add 3-5 drops of universal indicator solution.

2. Using a dropper add HCI drop by drop. be careful because adding even a small amount of extra acid can mean you'll miss the neutralization point.

Results and Observations:
When we added the universal indicator it changed colour to the blue for the base, and when we slowly added more and more acid it slowly changed to a green colour. we added to much so it went to yellow then orange but we recovered it with more base to make a green.

Discussion: With this as it was changing colours we could tell if we needed to add more of either the base or acid to be able to neutralize it. as we added it drop by drop we slowly saw it starting to mix but it stayed mostly separate because of the different density's of the solutions.  We tapped the test tube to help speed up that mixing process but it looked cool while doing it. When the solution in the test tube is blue it means it is highly concentrated with a base and with a red it is highly concentrated with the acid and when it is green it means it is 50/50 or close enough of a balance so it is sitting at a neutral point. Neutralization is when a solution is in between being to acidic and being a base. So neutralization is finding that mid point in between them both.

Conclusion: For this ours worked well and we were able to neutralize it.
