FORMING A QUESTION AND A HYPOTHESIS Question: When conducting a chemical reaction, can you change the amount of products

by changing the amount of only one reactant? In order to investigate this question, we will be using a common reaction between baking soda and vinegar to produce carbon dioxide gas, water, and sodium acetate.

Hypothesis (If __ , then I believe __ will happen because __):

Back up your hypothesis by including scientific concepts and personal experiences that support your ideas. Scientific Concepts:

Personal Experiences: (use life experiences that have to do with why you think your hypothesis is true)

Possible Key Words: Limiting reactant Excess reactant Mole ratio Decomposition Law of Conservation

DESIGNING AN INVESTIGATION Materials:

General Plan/How will you set up the experiment?:

Identify Variables: Controls (what will stay the same?):

Independent Variable (what are you changing on purpose, for experimental purposes?):

Dependent Variable (what are you looking for, trying to find a pattern or a change?):

How will you measure the dependent variable?

How will you display your results?

Procedure (list the steps in order, if you choose to draw them, label your pictures, be ACCURATE and THOROUGH):

COLLECTING AND PRESENTING DATA

Data Table: Make a data table for your investigation in the space below. It is recommended that you collect your data on a separate sheet of paper before creating your final data table. Be sure to: Make sure your table is labeled correctly, and Give your table a title that includes both your independent and dependent variables . *there are 8.3 x 10-3 mols of acetic acid in 10 mL of acetic acid

Title:
Grams of NaHCO3 Moles of NaHCO3 Volume of acetic acid Moles of acetic acid Mole Ratio of NaHCO3 to CO2 Theoretical Amount of CO2 produced Observations

Observations: As you collect data, write down observations (qualitative and/or quantitative) in the space below. Note anything unusual, especially any possible errors.
Work Space:

ANALYZE AND INTERPRET RESULTS Describe/Summarize what your data shows, discuss patterns, observations, theoretical results, actual results, sources of error and how they affected your results, etc

Explain how your data supported or did not support your hypothesis, scientific concepts, and your personal experience:

What questions arise from this experiment? What else can you ask yourself? How can you take this further? How can you apply this to daily life? What is the real life relevance/application?
