Yesterday in Science we did an experiment sadly we didn't get an outcome we want.
What we attempted;
Equipment:
Beaker
Tripod
Gauze mat
Measuring cylinder
Test Tube
Heat mat
Test tube Tongs
Dropper
Method:
1. Weight 0.25 grams of salicylic acid into 10-15 cm test tube. This weight does not need to be recorded.
2. Add 2.0mL of methanol to the test tube and swirl until the solid dissolves.
3. Slowly add 10 drops of sulfuric acid.
4. Place the test tube in hot water bath and secure by using a utility clamp and heat for 15 minutes.
5. Cool the test tube in running water.
6. Smell the contents by wafting( wave a hand over the tip of the test tube to direct andy fumes) and record any observations.
What happened?
The liquid in the test tube was bubbling but it didn't end the way we wanted.
What should it look like?
It should look like a crystal.
What could we change/try?
We could change the amount of salicylic acid.
