Hypothesis: Soap mixed with boiled water has the best ability to erase
the printed words on the printed paper faster than normal water.
Background Research
To prove that “soap mixed with boiled water” is the liquid that can remove
the words on the paper printed by laser printers is the aim of this experiment.
Five different liquids are compared with “soap mixed with boiled water”:
normal water, water mixed with soap (normal temperature), water mixed with
orange juice, water mixed with alcohol, and water mixed with every material.
using static electricity to transfer the toner to the printing medium to which it is
The reason of why “soap mixed with boiled water” will has the best ability
to erase the words on the printed paper is that soaps are mixtures of sodium
or potassium salts of fatty acids, and its molecules attach readily to both
atom.
Materials
1 hot plate
1 incubator
Procedure
2. Put 6 pieces printed paper into different beakers, wait for 10 minutes and
3. Take the samples out that were successfully removed words on the paper
from water.
4. For those samples that haven’t erased the word on it, wait for another 10
minutes.
5. For those samples that still not erase the words on it, wait for the last 10
6. Use an incubator to dry paper, and try to use fingers to erase the words

Conclusion
step, there were no problems had happened. However, none of those liquids
After set up the samples 10 minutes, there were nothing happened to the
papers in the liquids; after another 10 minutes, still nothing happened; another
10 minutes passed by, the words on the samples took out from the liquids still
The words on the papers still not been removed after heated up by the
The reason of why this was not working probably it is because that while
laser printer prints, it stuck the toner on the paper tightly by high temperature
how the traditional printers print by using ink; the chemical properties of strong
erosion liquids; and the procedure of the similar experiment which has
