60 Ml Of Soda Lab Report

Satisfactory Essays

At the beginning of lab eight it was hypothesized that the reaction between 60 mL of soda, .5 g of pop rocks , and 20 mL of .64 M HCl was a exothermic reaction. It was also hypothesized that lethal dose of pop rocks and soda would be fairly high. This hypothesis was based on prior information and estimation of the lethal dose ratio. After calculating the heat released (q) and finding -1.0506 J it was determined that the chemical reaction between pop rocks and soda is exothermic. The reaction was also considered exothermic due to heat being released and the temperature increasing.This part of the hypothesis was found to be correct , however the second part of the hypothesis was incorrect. After calculating the LD50 ratio the lethal dose for pop rocks was 3.59 g and the lethal dose for soda was .413 g. The lethal dose of the soda and pop rocks was significantly lower than expected. …show more content…

The experiment was a success because all of the ultimate goals were completed. The volume of CO2 released from the pop rock reaction was calculated and found at 58 mL. The moles of CO2 was calculated at .00233 mol. The experiment was also a success because it was found that the heat released from combining and eating pop rocks with soda would not kill the consumer unless it was consumed in very high doses. The combination is not dangerous because it doesn't release a large amount of heat. The simulation of stomach acid, pop rocks, and soda reviled that the temperature increase during the reaction is minimal. Some possible errors of this experiment was missing some of the CO2 when the tube escapes the graduated cylinder. To avoid this in the future the tube could be held during the apparatus processes. Another possible error is miscalculation of LD50. In the future calculations could be done more precisely and
