There are  a number of different white powders in our everyday life. Some of these are harmful and others are not. Test the four white powders listed to see which one has been found at the airport.

Here are some examples of everyday kitchen white powders.

3.  Salt

4. Sugar

Findings:

	Sugar	Salt	Baking Soda	Cornflour
Appearance	White powder	White powder	White powder	White powder
Texture	Course	Course	Medium	Fine
Smell	Nothing	Bad	Gas	Nothing
Iodine	It turned brown but stay the same	The salt turned brown but looks more crystally.	It fizzed and turned orange with dark around the orange.	I didn't actually do anything it just sits in it watery.
Water	Went runny and kinda coursey.	No reaction.	Went hard and clumpy.	Went hard and like oobleck.
Vinegar	It didn't really do anything apart from make it more clear.But also made it more course.	No reaction.	It went clumpy and fizzed	It went clumpy and kind of into oobleck.

Write a paragraph about your findings.

The sugar at first was not as Crystal like as it was when we put the vinegar in it. But when we put water in the sugar it went runny. With the iodine in it it went runny and the crystals got bigger but also colored brown.The salt didn't really have reaction to the vinegar and water but it did with the iodine some of it went black and the rest turned yellow. The corn flour with water and vinegar went like oobleck and hard.But with iodine it went runny and didn't really dissolve. With the baking powder it just fizzed with all of them.

Home Chemistry - Crazy Crystals

Aim: To learn about a saturated solution and how to make crystals

Definition of solution:

A liquid mixture, when something is dissolved into a liquid (eg: sugar in water)

Definition of saturated:

Having or holding as much as can be absorbed of something (when no more sugar or borax can be dissolved into the water

Borax Crystals

Materials

1) 3 tablespoons of Borax

2) ½ cup of Warm liquid/ Water

3) Container

4) Spoon

5) Paper

6) 3 x 10 centimeters of pipe cleaners

7) Peg

Process

Step 1: Make a star out of 3 pipe cleaners by crossing them over.

Step 2:Add a peg by clipping it on to the star.

Step 3:Place 3 tablespoons of borax in a container.

Step 4:Add ½ a cup of warm water into the container by pouring it in.

Step 5:Stir the solution with a spoon for 5 minutes.

Step 6:Place the star that you have made previously and make it so the peg is sitting up the top of the cup so the pipe cleaner star is in the solution

Step 7: Write your name of your group and then write on your container what is in the container.  

Sugar Crystals

Materials

1. 6 tablespoon Sugar
2. Spoon
3. Container
4. 7 centimeters of a Pipe Cleaner
5. Peg
6. Hot liquid/ water

Process

Step 1: First get a 7 centimeter long pipe cleaner and attach it to a peg .

Step 2:add 8 tablespoons of sugar to the container.

Step 3:then add ½ a cup of hot liquid to the sugar.

Step 4:stir the solution till the sugar is dissolved.

Step 5:then get the pipe cleaner and the peg and place it at the top of the cup.

Step 6: Place your container on the paper you wrote on before.

Salt Crystals

Materials

1. 3 teaspoons of salt
2. ½ a cup of hot liquid/ water
3. Spoon
4. Container
5. Pipe cleaner
6. Peg

Process

Step 1:place a peg on a 10 centimeter pipe cleaner.

Step 2 Add 3 tablespoons of salt to a container.

Step 3: Then add ½ a cup of hot liquid to the salt.

Step 4: Mix the solution for a few minutes.

Step 5:Then add the peg and pipe cleaner into the container.

Step 6: Place your work on the piece of paper.

Findings

Describe your crystals in the table below.

Crystal Type	Shape (Describe the shape)	Size (of individual crystals)	Hardness (Crumbly to Rock Hard)
Borax	Cube	No size	Hard
Sugar	Didn't work	No size	liquid
Salt	Didn't form	No form	liquid

What crystals worked out best and why?: The borax one did because the others did not work.
we didn't mix or put much of ingredients in to the sugar and salt recipe.
we did saturate the borax one more than we did in the salt and sugar.
 1: Cubic
 2: Orthorhombic.
 3: Monoclinic.
 4: Triclinic.
 5: Trigonal.
 6: Hexagonal.
 7: Tetragonal.

Task 2 and Task 3

Compounds	Method	Observation of reaction	Why does it react that way
Baking soda Vinegar	A teaspoon of the baking soda was placed in a cup. 3 teaspoons of vinegar were then placed into the cup.	The mixture bubbled, fizzed and overflowed.	Why does it react like that ? It reacts that way because the acid in the baking soda reacts to one of the chemicals in the vinegar.
bleach Baking soda	1/2 cup of baking soda is added to a typical laundry load with bleach	It fizzes a little but it also becomes a better cleaning product.	It has that kind of reaction because the baking soda has a sort of acid in it that reacts to a chemical in the bleach.
Lemon juice Baking soda	3 tbsp of lemon juice and 2 tsp of baking soda in a glass and watch the reaction.	The reaction was that it bubbled/fizzed up but it is good for sores .	In lemon juice there's a percentage of citric acid and the acid in the baking soda clashed with the acid in the lemon juice.
Dish soap Vinegar	Place a 1\4 of vinegar and dish washing liquid in a spray bottle put the lid on and shake.	It just ended up bubbling and is good for cleaning products.	It didn’t fizz this time itn only bubbled because in the dish soap there isn’t any baking soda or citric acid
Lemon juice Sugar	Put 2 tsp of lemon juice in 3 tbsp of sugar in a cup.	There was only a little bit of fizz this time but it made a good ointment.	It  didn’t react like the rest because the sugar isn’t the same as the baking soda because it has no acid in it .
