Make observation of excited state gases.
Orange gas (Neon): four different multi colored slots around the machine. Yellow orange and red are very brightly colored.
Line secptra: Alot more lines then He.
white gas (He): the different color slots are spread further apart on the top and bottom. The left colored slot seems to have two separate slots of colors. Very dull colors, yellow at the end is the brightest. Rainbow on top- colors dull with yellow standing out
Line secptra's- show fewer lines.
Purple gas (Ar): Far away do not see anything- close, dark purple color then rest of slots, the colors are all horizontal with a gap between each color.
Line secptra: very little amount of lines
Light purple gas(Nitrogen): see more shades of colors. Red, orange, yellow, and green stand out. Top slot of colors are smooched together making a rainbow instead of the colors being in separate slots.
Line secptra: Few lines- with reds, oranges, yellows, and greens standing out.
White/Blue gas (Carbon Dioxide): Bright green and yellow- rest of the colors are very dull within the color slots. Top slot of colors make a rainbow, the colors are not divided.

Activity 2 1/20/11 Antiacids
Write the formula for Tums? How does Tums chemically react with water and stomach acid?
CaCO3--> Ca+2 + CO3-2
CO3-2 + H+ --> HCO3- + H+ --> H2CO3 <---> H2O + CO2
CaCO3--> Ca+2 + CO3-2
CO3-2 + H+ --> HCO3- + H+ --> H2CO3 <---> H2O + CO2
How many Tums are needed to neutralize a can of coke?
I tried Tums to neutralize a shot of lemon juice and it took 3 Tums to get it at a pH level of 7. I understand that coke does not have the pH level as lemon juice but I believe it would take probably around 5-7 tums to neutralize a whole can of coke.

Activity 1 1/20/11 Experimental Design and Conclusions
Reflect on the expansion of water and salt water experiments you and your classmates performed. What are some interesting results and struggles with this experiment.
One of my interesting results from measuring the different heights the water expanded to was that with 1-1/2 tsp's of salt the water expanded more then the cup that had 3 tsp's of salt mixed in the water. It seemed as if the more salt I was going to add to the water the less that it was going to expand when frozen.
I also noticed that it was difficult to measure the different heights that the water's expanded. I did my experiment in clear cups so it was easier to measure the different heights of the frozen water.
Another interesting result I noticed was that it took my cup of water only an hour to completely freeze, while it took my cup with 1-1/2 tsp's of salt about 3 hours, and my 3 tsp's of salt cup took about 4-1/2 hours to freeze.
Relate your thought on this experiment to the scientific question, "is the earth warming?"
"Is the earth warming?" From conducting my experiment with how salt water freezes compared to just tap water, I found that over time temperatures change due to factors that took part in the water, which would be the salt."Just as weather patterns change from day to day, the climate changes too. This occurs naturally, driven by internal and external factors. Through widespread use of land, use of fossil fuels and the building of cities, we have changed our climate." http://www.global-greenhouse-warming.com/climate.html
I was adding a factor to the water which caused the water to take longer to freeze. The more factors we pull into a situation the more "trouble/problems" we may have with the temperatures.
Stated above just shows how with different factors temperature/climate can change. The salt interfered with how fast the water would freeze and just how cold this water would get before it freezes. This is the same for the earth, with cars driving around using fossil fuels and building new cities/buildings also change the temperature and climate on earth. "Temperatures across the globe are most certainly rising; the 1990s was the warmest decade in the last thousand years. Sea surface temperatures have increased 0.4-0.8°C (0.7-1.4°F) since the late 19 Century, and over the period 1961 to 2003, global ocean temperature has risen by 0.10°C (0.18°F) from the surface to a depth of 700 m. The world has warmed 0.74°C in the past hundred years and scientists are clear that the world will get warmer this century due to further increases in greenhouse gas concentrations. Global average temperature is forecast to rise 4°C (7.2°F) toward the end of the 21st century."

Activity 4 1/19/11 Dissolving
Show an image or animation or description of what is happening when water dissolves NaCl.
The water molecules slowly take apart the Na and Cl from the NaCl.

Why is the freezing point lowered when salt is added to water?
When salt dissolves in water, the Na and the Cl ions leave the salt crystal and mix with the water molecules. Water molecules then form crystals when freezing. The Na and the Cl ions then begin to get in the way of the H2O molecules; which makes it harder for them to become re-arranged into crystals. This then causes the salt water to remain in a liquid state for longer as temperatures reduce.

Activity 3 1/19/11 Crystal Structures
Show crystal structures fo NaCl (sodium chloride)and CaCO3 (calcium carbonate). what is the melting point for these two materials.
NaCl: melting point= 8010C/1074 K
CaCO3: melting point= 825o C/ 1098 K(calcite) 1339oC/ 1612K (aragonite)
Activity 2 1/19/11 Weather and Bernoulli Principle
Describe some common weather occurrences in relation to the gas laws and characteristics we have been exploring.
When temperature increases, volume increases; this applies when the sun produces heat, causing temperature to increase which causes the expansion of the molecules to increase (volume) which creates wind. When temperature decrease, volume decreases; this applies when clouds cover up heat making the air cooler and wind is being forced in an area (contraction).
Global Warming: increase in world’s temperature caused by additional heat being trapped by greenhouse gases. Inverse relationship: temperature increases, volume decreases.
What is the Bernoulli Principle, provide an example or application of this.
Bernoulli Principle states that a fluid’s flow (that has no viscosity (not thin or thick)), has an increase in the speed of the fluid occurs simultaneously with a decrease in pressure or decrease in the fluid’s potential energy. So when the pressure of a fluid decreases the speed of the fluid increases. High-speed flow is associated with low pressure, and low-speed flow is associated with high pressure.
Activity 1 1/19/11 Ideal Gas Law
What is the tire pressure at -20°F compared to 90°F, assuming the starting pressure was 32 psi?
25.6psi
32psi = ?psi
305.2K 244.3K
25.6psi
32psi = ?psi
305.2K 244.3K
( 244.3K) ( 32psi ) = ( ?psi) ( 244.3K)
(305.2K ) ( 244.3K)
244.3K cancel each other on this side
( 244.3K) ( 32psi ) = ?psi
(305.2K)
32psi divide into 305.2K, then multiply 244.3 K, result is 25.6 PSI

1.) How much does water expand when frozen?
From my own experiment the water expanded from about 0.3 inches to about 0.78 inches when frozen.
2.) When is water the smallest? at what temperature.
From doing my experiment water was the smallest when it was at room temperature.
3.) What happens when salt is added to the water?
When salt gets added to water, it causes the water to break down the salt molecules, which slows down the process in which water freezes.
4.) Does the amount of salt added effect the freezing point?
I believe that the amount of salt added to water effects the water’s freezing point. I believe this because when I added more salt to my water it took longer for the water to freeze compared to my cup that did not have salt mixed with the water. The more salt I added, the longer it seemed to take for the water to completely freeze.
