PRESENTATION OUTLINE
BAKING SODA AND VINEGAR EXPERIMENT
First we weighed the flask.
Then we weighed the flask and baking soda. After that we took the weight of the flask and subtracted it from the weight of the flask and baking soda, to find the weight of the baking soda.
Then we weighed the graduated cylinder.
After that we pored 6mL of vinegar into the graduated cylinder.
Then we weighed the graduated cylinder and vinegar. We took the weight of the graduated cylinder and subtracted it from the weight of the graduated cylinder and vinegar to find the weight of the vinegar.
Then we weighed the balloon.
Then we pored the 6mL of vinegar into the balloon.
Then we attached the balloon to the top of the flask.
Then we weighed the flask with the new substance created by the mixing of baking soda and vinegar. To find the weight of vinegar we subtracted the weight of the flask and the weight of the balloon from the weight of the flask and new substance.
We then combined the weight of the baking soda and vinegar together, which according to the laws of conservation of matter, this should be the same weight as the new substance.
For us, the two weights had a difference of .16 because it is almost impossible to get the weights to be the same since there are so many little things that can alter the weight completely.
