Science!!!!

Aim: 
Try to blow out a naked flame with carbon dioxide 

Equipment:

• Tea candle
• a damp paper towel
• lighter
• 100ml beaker
• Calcium carbonate (marble chips-SML)-(CaCO3)
• Hydrochloric Acid
• mixing spatula
• splinter 
• ice-cream bowl
• safety glasses

Method:

Step 1

place a damp paper towel into an ice-cream bowl.

step 2

light your tea candle up and place it on the paper towel

Step 3

after putting your safety glasses on use your mixing spatula and scoop up three scoops of Calcium carbonate (marble chips-SML)-(CaCO3) and pour in Hydrochloric acid into your 100ml beaker but only enough until it fizzes.

Step 4

Light your splinter up and slowly apply it into the beaker and the flame should blow put if it doesn't you are doing it wrong and try it again.

Step 5 

Have Fun!!!

Results:

For my group, all of our attempts worked well.

Explanation:

we were using a candle to test if we had carbon dioxide but if it didn't blow 

out we would know there is no carbon is the beaker

Science Experiment

Dilution

Aim: I want to investigate how to dilute a solution

Equipment:
Test Tube Rack
Test Tubes
10mL measuring cylinder

Method:
step 1:
fill measuring cylinder with 10mL of water.

Step 2:
add 10ml of water to a 1 test tube.

Step 3: 
add 9ml to the 5 other test tubes.

Step 4: 
Add a small amount of Potassium Permanganate into the 10ml test tube.

Step 5: 
Add 1ml of the dark purple Potassium Permanganate into the second test tube with 9ml.

Step 6:
Add 1ml of the second tube into the third test tube with the 9ml

Step 7:

Add 1mL of the third test tube into the fourth test tube with the 9ml

Step 8:

Add 1mL of the fourth test tube into the fifth test tube with the 9ml

Step 9

Add 1mL of the fifth test tube into the sixth test tube with the 9ml

*Sorry I have no Photo's to prove I did this experiment*

Results:
On the first test tube when we added the Potassium Permanganate it was really dark and when we put 1ml into the next one it gradually got lighter by the color.

Conclusion:

I did find out how different ways to dilute a solution.
