Today the class conducted experiments to determine the relationships between heat and mass and how temperature of water can change without mixing two containers of water of different temperature. Then the professor performed an experiment showing the difference of a regular bubble and a methane filled bubble.
Knowing the boiling and freezing temperature of water and the average body temperature in Celsius and Fahrenheit, we can determine the relationship of the two measurements of temperature in terms of Celsius.
The class was asked to predict and give a short explanation to our prediction to what would happen when a bubble is filled with methane.
Then the class was asked to predict what kind of fire ball will be created when a flame is mixed with the methane, and my group predicted the fire will spread in all directions.
This gif shows the reaction of a methane filled bubble when fire pops the bubble, and as shown the fire goes in an upward direction making our prediction wrong.
The Pepsi can contained cold water and the mug had warm water, and we had temperature probes in the can and mug to see the change in temperature.
This graph shows how the temperature change until the temperature reached close to equilibrium.
For this experiment, we had an immersion heater, to heat up the water for about 20 secs, and a temperature probe, to record the change of temperature until the the temperature stabilizes.
The red line shows the increase in temperature caused by the immersion heater.
This graph shows the relation ship between heat per mass, and as shown in the graph the relationship is linear.
