b) Δv = vf - vi -- 18 m/s f - 16 m/s f = +2 m/s
c) Δv = vf - vi -- 18 m/s f - 18 m/s f = 0 m/s

What did you find out?

It was gaining speed in the 0-20 second interval and the 20-40 second interval, it was slowing down in the 60-80 second and the 80-100 second intervals, and it was in velocity zero in the 40-60 second interval.

8.1 C and 8.1 D

8.1C


The line did not go through all the dots. This tells me that the lawnmower's motion accelerates and decelerates.


8.1 D Part1



Through 0-6 seconds, there is uniform motion. From 6 - 10 seconds, there is no movement. From 10-12 seconds, there is new uniform motion. Then from 12-16 seconds, there is negative uniform motion before becoming stationary from 16-18 seconds. It then concludes with negative uniform motion once again.

The displacements are:
2mN, 0m, 4mN, 6mS, 0m, 2mS

The slopes are:
Positive, zero, positive, negative, zero, and negative

The total distance is:
16m

Reaction Rates Lab


Factors Affecting Reaction Rates

Part 1:
-Two 250mL beakers
-Ice water
-Hot water
-Thermometer
-3 Effervescent Tablets
-Stopwatch

Part 2:
-3 Small Test Tubes
-Test Tube Rack
-Dish Soap
-3% Hydrogen Peroxide Solution
-Pottasium Iodide
-Copper(II) Chloride
-Sodium Chloride

Part 3:
-Mortar and Pestle
-Sodium Carbonate
-4 Small Test Tubes
-Test Tube Rack
-Dilute Hydrochloric Acid Solution
 
Purpose: To determine how temperature, surface area, and the presence of a catalyst affect the rate of a chemical reaction.
Materials:  
               























Procedure:  The procedure used was from the BC Science 10 textbook on page 278
Results:
Part 1:

Temperature

Part 2:

KI
CuCl2
NaCl
Observations
Turned yellow and bubbled steadily. After 2 and a half minutes, it overflowed out of the test tube.
Turned blue and reacted quickly for about 30 seconds before settling half way up the test tub
Not very much happened in the reaction.

Part 3:
Less Powder
More Powder
Not a lot seemed to happen. When tested out with a stir stick, the powder was slightly solid.
Again, not a lot was going on. But it solidified quicker and stronger.

Discussion
Analyze:
-There is a very noticeable relationship between temperature and rate of reaction. The higher the temperature, the faster the molecules will move, and the more collisions you will get.
-My prediction was incorrect. I assumed that the warmth of the water would be enough to dissolve the tablet, but in fact, it did not do very much better than the cold water.
-I think that of the additives to the hydrogen peroxide solution, the KI, and CuCl­2 worked well as catalysts. It was obvious to us though that the KI sped up the reaction the best as it continuously bubbled for well over 5 minutes.
-When you’re looking at surface area, a powder (in the case of the question 5g of sodium carbonate) would have more exposure to everything else than a lump. Powders will have thousands of faces exposed; lumps may only have a few.
-In step 3, the more exposed area to the reaction helped the decomposition out by speeding up the process in which it happened.
Conclude and Apply:
If there was a reaction with finely ground powder and a concentrated acid, there would be a few ways that you could slow it down. These include using a less concentrated acid and not using a powdered form of a reactant. Another way could be cooling down the temperature of the reactants prior to combining them for the reaction.
Conclusion
This lab proved that temperature, surface area, and catalysts are all successful in speeding up the process of a chemical reaction. Whether it’s temperature, surface area, concentration or a catalyst, it was made obvious to us that you can drastically increase or decrease the amount of time it can take to produce a product through a chemical reaction.

Discussion
Analyze:
From most acidic to most basic I think is A,C,B,D.  I am not certain as I really am not confident with my results. Even with this, I believe that the neutral solution was C.  I believe that the most alkaline solution was solution B. My reasoning is that it was the only solution to not react at all with the Mg ribbon and it reacted with the liquid indicators as well. The ribbon was useful for testing the pH as acids would react with it to produce a salt and hydrogen gas. The gas then was able to bubble in the solution.
Conclude and Apply:
If there was a pH of 3 in a solution, the indicators would be red. If there was a pH of 10, the indicators would be blue. If I needed 3 tests to see if a sample was acidic, neutral, or basic, I would use red Litmus paper, blue litmus paper, and an alkaline earth metal. My reasoning is pretty obvious for the litmus paper as it would give a pretty instant reading. The metal would be good confirmation if the sample was acidic as it would react. For the colour of the Roccella tincoria being dipped in vinegar, my educated guess would be that it turns red. This is because vinegar is acidic. To find out the colour of seawater with Bromothymol blue added to it, I needed to find out the pH of seawater. I learned that is a little bit basic. And when Bromothymol blue reacts with bases, you get a dark blue colour.

Conclusion
This experiment was interesting. I think that the results we got however were off. They were different than the other group we worked with. However, we were able to clearly identify the acid thanks to the liquid indicators, litmus, and the magnesium.  Another problem we had was the beakers with solution were not properly labelled, so we weren’t 100% sure which solutions were A,B,C, and D.

1) The scientists assumed that there was no life on Mars because the broths did not produce as much carbon dioxide as it would have on Earth.

2) The scientists got soil from different parts of the Martian surface so they would be able to not only compared results with what happens on Earth, but the other part of Mars as well.

3) Micro organisms were the characteristic of life being tested for in this experiment.

4) Scientists found the evidence from this experiment to be inconclusive. The only way to be sure that life exists on Mars would be to find living proof of it.
