Week 4 (posting 1)
We did a lab this week on Acid Fruit Test. Here are my observations with in the lab! Vinegar will react with baking soda resulting with the emission of carbon dioxide pushing more air into the surenge and the pressure of the reaction causing the surenge to rise also seen with lime juice. Yet, this same procedure done with water and orange juice there is no reaction. In the end, I draw the conclusion that the more concentrated the acid is the more gas it will give off. When doing the same procedure with a real piece of fruit there was not as much of a chemical reaction either due to the surface area and the limitations of the contianer it was placed inside! Very Fun activty Dr. E I would love a copy of this lab for myself! Kelli
