Exemplary Lab Report Introduction!

Introduction:Alka Seltzer is commonly used by many people as a way to relieve pain, mostly dealing with issues in the stomach. The drug was developed by Maurice Treneer was specifically marketed for relief of minor aches, pains, inflammation, fever, headache, heartburn, sour stomach, indigestion, hangovers, and neutralize excess stomach acid. Alka-Seltzer was launched in 1931 and it is owned by Bayer Schering Pharma. When doing the experiment with Alka Seltzer and water, it was observed that it quickly dissolved and rose to the top. The experimental question “How long does it take Alka-Seltzer react in different types of liquids?” was developed and tested. It was hypothesized that Alka-Seltzer would dissolve quicker in alcohol. Overall the goal in this experiment was to see how Alka-Seltzer would dissolve and how long it took in different liquids because it was dissolving moderately fast in water.

Exemplary Lab Report Materials and Procedure!

Materials:- 100 mL Sprite- 100 mL Water- 100 mL isopropyl alcohol- 100 mL Apple Juice- 4 one-half tablets of Alka Seltzer- 1 250 mL beaker- 1 timer

Quantitative amounts!

Procedure:Step 1: bring all materials to group work spaceStep 2: Pour 100 mL of water into the 250 mL beakerStep 3: Drop 1 one-half Alka-Seltzer tablet into the

beaker and begin the timer when the tablet hits the waterStep 4: Stop the time once the tablet has completely

dissolved (bubbles may still be present but tablet is gone).Step 5: Record Data and observationsStep 6: Rinse beaker with water and dry with paper

towelStep 7: Repeat Steps 2-6 with Sprite, Isopropyl Alcohol,

and then Apple Juice (all in separate tests)

Exemplary Lab Report Conclusion!

Conclusion:This lab was performed in order to determine the reaction time of Alka-Seltzer to different liquids. Figure 1 shows that the fastest reaction time was in water at 24.31 seconds. The results are not close to the hypothesis in which it was stated that alcohol would have the fastest reaction time. Alcohol actually had the longest reaction time. It took so long, that it was impossible to get an exact reaction time. Although the experiment appeared accurate, there may have been errors.

Restated the Purpose

Referred to Figures and added quantitative values

Restated hypothesis and said if it was correct or incorrect

Many things went wrong such as; non-accurate timing, and mixed liquids. Timing was not accurate based on slow response to when the tablets were placed in the beaker. Impurities in the beaker may include mixed chemicals due to dirty glassware. This cold be improved by having a person with faster reflexes time the reaction. Also, having someone that is more careful clean out the glassware.

Pointed out possible errors
