Properties of Water Lab Report BY Matt Marino November 3, 2010 Lab partner: Eric Mott Miss. Conover Period 8 Planning & Design: Hypothesis – If water is polar and cohesive then the more purer the water the more drops will collect on the penny. Procedure: 1. Choose side of penny that will be used to collect water. 2. Choose partner to drop water from pipette. 3. Fill beaker with water from sink. 4. Put penny on bare table. 5. Fill pipette with solution from the beaker. 6. Pick a height at which the water will be dropped from pipette. 7. Drop solution from pipette onto penny. 8. Record your data. 9. Repeat steps four through eight four more times. 10. Clean and dry all materials. 11. Fill beaker with solution from the back. 12. Repeat steps four through ten two more times. Variables: Controlled – * Water Temperature * Drop size * Height of drop * Side of penny * Person who drops water on the pipette * That the penny is dry * Amount of mixture for each solution Independent – * Aqueous solution * Penny Dependent – * Number of drops for each solution Data Collection & Processing: Number of drops of an aqueous solution on a penny Substances | Test 1 | Test 2 | Test 3 | Test 4 | Test 5 | Average | Class Averages | Tap water | 46 | 43 | 46 | 35 | 43 | 43 (42.6) | 34 (33.5) | Salt water | 46 | 30 (Phil shook table) | 39 | 21 | 25 | 32 (32.2) | 27 (27.18) | Soapy water | 17 | 31 | 25 | 19 | 23 | 23 | 16 (16.45) | Conclusion & Evaluation: The hypothesis is supported by the data recorded. The hypothesis states that if water is polar and cohesive then the purer the water the more drops that will collect on the penny. If the student averages are compared for tap water, salt water, and soapy water then tap water
