Observation:
The pond freezes very quickly in winter
Freshwater freezes before saltwater.
The mixture of salt water will not freeze in the stipulated time.
If the temperature is lower, it will freeze before the stipulated time.
Questions:
What other factors affect the outcome of the experiment, apart from the
temperature?
Why does the pond freeze faster than the ocean?
Does the temperature of salt water have to be lower than that of freshwater?
sweet for it to freeze?
When mixing the two substances, will there be a variation with the result of the
sample of seawater?
Hypothesis:
It will affect the time we leave the sample in the freezer, just like the
amount of solute to be added.
The pond water freezes faster because it is freshwater and it
needs a temperature of zero degrees Celsius, on the other hand, for it to
To freeze saltwater, a temperature lower than zero degrees is needed.
Celsius.
Yes, because salt makes the water denser, which is why it is needed.
that its temperature is lower than that of freshwater.
4. There will be variation, as altering and mixing the substances may lead to the
the freezing process takes longer or is faster.
Experimental unit
Experimental liquid substance: Water
Variable substances: salt, sugar, and temperature
What was observed was that the cups with the sugar variable froze first than
the glasses with salt water, because salt needs more time and more
low temperature to reach its freezing point. The more variable of
There must be more freezing time.
Treatments:
control cup: 130 ml of water
2. first glass: 1 tablespoon of salt + 130 ml of water
3. second glass: 1 tablespoon of sugar + 130 ml of water
4th glass: 1 tablespoon of sugar and 1 tablespoon of salt + 130 ml of water
5th glass: 3 tablespoons of salt + 130 ml of water
5th glass: 3 tablespoons of sugar + 130 ml of water
7. sixth glass: 3 tablespoons of sugar and 3 tablespoons of salt + 130 ml of water
Control
The control was carried out with a glass of water without mixing any variables, the result
it was frozen at the same time as the second glass with the sugar variable, in
the time of 4 hours.
Repetitions:
6 repetitions were carried out with variations in the solute in each vessel.
three replicates for the first treatment, and three others were experimented with.
replicas with variation in the solute for the second treatment.
Experimental errors:
Temperature: there was not a common temperature with each of the
members.
Time: the exact time to introduce at the same time was not coordinated
experiment in the freezer.
Conclusions
Se logró concluir que para que se pueda congelar el agua con sal se necesita una
temperature of -6°C. This happens because salt makes the water denser,
what decreases the likelihood of water freezing at a temperature not very
low.
