Powder Lab Paper The object of this experiment was to find the changes of each powder. The names were given but the powders were labeled A,B,C,D when inspected visually. Powder A looked like it clumped up together and really thin and tightly packed. Powder B looked soft and lightly packed. Powder C, it was white and a little bit of puffy powder essence to it and it well with small chunks. Powder D look like a small rocks with white powdery sand. To set up the experiment, we used spot plates, and small amounts of each powder. Also we used water,vinegar and iodine. We also used to spoons as the tool. One liquid was added to the powder and carefully observed. We observed each powder and some were the same reaction…show more content…
Powder B, when water was added, it only became watery. When vinegar was added, the liquid sunk to the bottom and none of the outcomes changed. With iodine, it had a color change with some bubbles but shortly after it went back and stayed the color brown. Powder C, it was not affected by water but by vinegar, it changes into bubbles and fizzes up and has a chemical reaction. With iodine it changes to a brown color and becomes clumpy. Using the mystery powder key, experimental results were compared to know results of baking soda,baking powder,cornstarch and powdered sugar. Chemical changes were made when a substance fizzes up or changes color. When a substance fizzed up into bubbles, it indicated a reactivity of solubility and a chemical change. Physical changes were indicated when a substance only reacted once. The powders indicated is the following: Powder A was chemical, Powder B was Chemical,Powder C was physical and powder D was chemical. These results were proven by the physical and chemical changes each of the powders were exhibited. These experiments essentially demonstrated the changes and reactivity of the powders. Taking a Step
