Research Questions:
The purpose of this experiment is to answer to following question: As water changes from one state to another, will particle movement increase, decrease or stay the same? (solid to liquid to gas to liquid, etc.)
How do the molecules behave in a solid? Stick Together Form Strong Bonds How do the molecules behave in a liquid? Form Weak Bonds Move around loosely How do the molecules behave in a gas? Molecules form no bonds Fly around everywhere What happens to the molecules as they change from a solid to a liquid? The molecules of a solid vibrate so fast they break free from their xed positions What happens to the molecules as they change from a liquid to a gas? As water molecules change they gain more energy and go further apart. What happens to the molecules as they change from a gas to a liquid? Go slower and become closer together. What happens to the molecules as they change from a liquid to a solid?] The molecules loose energy, and has more electromagnetic energy, resulting in molecules having little to no movement at all. What causes matter to change from one state to another state? Temperature (thermal energy)

4 The amount of ice cubes we use
If there are to many ice cubes it would take to long to melt Stick to the specic amount of ice and if we use to little it might cubes melt faster then usual
Bianca De Leon
Hypothesis:
What will happen to the dependent variable as the independent variable is changed? Why?
! As the heat changes the solid state of the ice cube will change to the liquid state of water. This will happen because in a solid the molecules form a regular repeating pattern called a crystalline pattern. This pattern keeps all of the particles closely packed together. So if the ice cube (which is the solid) is heated at its melting point, then the particles in the ice cube will vibrate so slowly that they will break free from their xed patterns to form a liquid, which is the water. And if you heat the water even more, the water (the liquid) will change to a solid. This will happen because the particles in the water will gain enough energy to vaporize. When a liquid vaporizes, the liquid gains enough energy to form a gas and disperses into the air.
What would that relationship look like? Try to graph or illustrate this:

Method:
1. Fill a 500 mL beaker with ice cubes, record the temperature: 120C. Add heat. As the ice is being heated: What is happening to the temperature?
2. Once all the ice melts, record the temperature: 22C. Continue heating. As the water is heating, answer the following:
What is heat? What is happening to the water? What is happening to the water particles? What is happening between the particles?
3. After the water has heated to boiling, record the temperature: *Water did not get to boil* 4. Carefully pour the water into the plastic bottle and tightly cap the top. 5. Observe what happens to the container for about 15 minutes and record:
What is happening to the plastic container? Why is this happening? What is making the container do this?
What is happening to the water bottle? Why is this happening to the water bottle? What is the difference between the water at this time versus the water when we initially poured it into the container? What change is happening to the water to make this event occur?

Observations What is happening to the water bottle? Why is this happening? What is making the bottle do this? Bottle is: -melting -shrinking -water inside condensing -top of bottle hard to squeeze This s happening because the hot water is melting the plastic and releasing gas which is adding pressure to the top of the bottle
1:05
What is the difference between the water at this time versus the water when we initially poured it into the container? What change is happening to the water to make this event occur? The water was hot but now the water is cooling down and the pressure isnt so high and the bottle is shrinking. The gas is turning back into a liquid because it is no longer hot and the bottle is collapsing and shrinking again.

Conclusion:
! As the temperature changes the state of matter of the object and the amount of particle movement also changes. At about 12:00 the thermometer reached 1C whilst in the ice. We started to add heat to the hot plate and started at 120C. As time went by we started noticing that the heat on the thermometer was getting hotter then colder then hotter then colder. For example, in my results table it reads that at around 12:15 it went up to 10C but then in the same time frame the temperature went down to 5C. Then from 12:20 - 12:25, the temperature went from 8C to 7C then back to 8C then 7C and then 9C and back down to 7C and nally back up to 10C. At 12:34 the ice nally turned to liquid at 22C. As the time went on my group started noticing evidence of the water turning into a gas. There were little pieces of dirt in the water and we could see the little pieces moving around in the dirt really fast so that told us that the water particles were moving at a really fast pace. There was also a lot of condensation happening along with a lot of steam rising from the beaker meaning that the water was starting to boil. However we never got to the 3 state of matter, gas, because we didnt have enough time for the water to boil.
This all happened because when we added heat to the ice, the ice turned into water because the particles were moving really fast. Because of this they are able to break free from their xed patterns because of how fast they are moving. This only happens when the solid (or in this case the ice) reaches its melting point. Then when the water turns into ice the particles in the water move even faster to break free from the bonds that they were in when they were a liquid. The process of the water turning into a gas is called vaporization.

Table 3: Reliability of the Method: Were there enough trials? Did multiple trials give similar data? Are there anomalous points?
Reliability of data. The measuring instruments. a) Did the measuring instruments collect data that can be trusted? Yes/ No Yes because for the thermometer it had a red solution in it that made the thermometer show the correct temperature, the beaker was accurate but not as accurate as the thermometer because it would tell you the measurement of the water every 100 mL, and the clock was also very accurate because it tells you every second, minute, and hour. Explanation (why / why not?)
No because we didnt get to the end of the lab so we werent really sure what temperature would be good to start at and we kept changing the temperature so if we did the lab again we would know what temperature would be best and we would be able to get the water boiling. Yes because for the thermometer had lines indicating where the temperature was every 1, the beaker was accurate but not as accurate as the thermometer because it would tell you the measurement of the water every 100 mL, and the clock was also very accurate because it tells you every minute and hour however, this clock wasnt as accurate as a computer clock which told you the seconds as well.
c) Did the measuring instrument collect precise data? (i.e. Did the multiple trials give similar data?) Yes/ No
Size of sample. d) was the range large enough? I dont think that the range is large enough because out lowest temperature was 1C and the highest was 89C, for the water to boil we needed the range of the temperature to be 1C to 100C
Yes/ No
Bianca De Leon
I think that surprising results were that when the ice was turning into water the temperature would go up, then go down, then go up, then go down.
