Baby Bottle Lab

This past week in chemistry we had to do a baby bottle lab. Our objective was to find the right ratio of baking soda and vinegar to make our baby bottle shoot out and go 600cm.

I was lucky and was able to make my bottle go 600cm on my first try. I had filled my baby bottle half way up with vinegar, which was around 5 1/2 ounces. and i filled the nipple of the bottle almost all the way full with baking soda. After watching other classmates, it seemed as though you couldn’t have way too much of one substance.

This led to limiting reactants, which we learned after doing the lab. Limiting reactant is the substance that is completely consumed or used up during a chemical reaction. Depending on the amount of either substance used, determines what the limiting reactant is going to be. If we were to do the experiment again, I wouldn’t change a thing because every time I was able to make the bottle go 600cm.

3 Questions 4/1/13

1. This week I was able to finish my rough draft for my essay in English. I succeeded in making my baby bottle go 600 cm for a chemistry lab. And did good for my choir concert on Tuesday night.

2. Recently I have learned stoichiometry in chemistry and also an in depth understanding of the great depression in history.

3. Next week I plan on finishing my final draft for my essay. I plan on retaking a quiz in chemistry on Wednesday. I also plan on attending practice everyday this week and Friday go to the Mayfield vs Cruces game!
