Making Ginger Beer

 Aim- I want to find out how to make ginger beer, and what is used to make it

Equipment- Active yeast, Lemon juice, warm water, Ginger, sugar, something to hold the liquid

Research-

Method- Add all the ingredients in a cup and leave for a few days. 

 Results- The drink looks like lemonade with ginger particles floating on the top of the cup. It smells like alcohol. I can really smell the yeast. Note that I was not here on the day they made the ginger beer so I don't really know the instructions I was at netball. it first smells like alcohol but then taste sweet.

What is a Acid?

Name of acids:                                                   (atm we are doing yeat 10 work)

Hydrochloric Acid. (HCl)

Sulfuric Acid (H2SO4)

Nitric Acid  (HNO3)

Where do you find acid?

• Plaque Has Acid
• Stomach acid is Hydrochloric Acid
• Battery acid is Sulfuric Acid 
• Lemons and Oranges have Citric Acid
• Vinger has Acetic Acid
• Bee-stings have Formic Acid
• Coca-Cola has Carbonic Acid

What is Acid?:

An Acid contains Hydrogen atoms that break off the react with a substance 

Mini expt:

Litmus paper Changes colour in acid 

the red stays red and the blue goes red

Red cabbage indicator

 Aim:

I want to find out how to tell if something is an acid

Method:

Equipment:

• Beaker
• Red cabbage
• Boiling water
• Dropper
• test tubes
• Different samples for testing

Instructions:

1. Get equipment
2. ripped the cabbage into small pieces and added to the beaker
3. add about 100 mL of hot water
4. Wait for the reaction
5. Add Hydrochloric acid into a test tube
6. Add some cabbage water to the test tube.
7. in another tube add Hydroxide 
8. in the same tube add The Cabbage water

Results: 

In this test tube, I added both of the acids to make a different color (and the cabbage water) 

In this one, I only used Hydrochloric acid to make red (and the cabbage water)

In this test tube, I added only Hydroxide acid and the cabbage water 

Making Sherbet

 Aim:

I Want to find out how to make sherbet.

Research:

Method:

Equipment:

• Icing sugar & raro
• Container/cup
• Citric acid or tartaric acid
• baking powder 
• Popsicle stick (to mix)
• Teaspoon

Instructions:

1. Get all of the equipment ready
2. add 1 teaspoon of sugar and raro to the cup
3. Half a teaspoon of acid to the cup 
4. add half a teaspoon of baking powder
5. Mix with the popsicle stick
6. Taste the sherbet and adjust the flavor

Results:

What happened to the cup?

There was no reaction in the cup

Why did it foam in your mouth?

The powder dissolved in my mouth and then I fizzled in my mouth

Why did it foam it up in your mouth?

It Was a chemical reaction and it made the sherbet produced a gas called carbon dioxide .

Equipment

 Beaker

Beaker - A beaker is a glass container with a flat bottom and a small spout for pouring. It is used in the chemistry lab for mixing, heating, and stirring liquids. Beakers come in various sizes and are shaped like a cylinder.

Conical Flask

This type of flask is used as a container for chemical substances, or to heat or boil liquids. It does not allow liquids to spill easily. It is also used in titration.

Funnel

It is used to channel liquid or fine-grained substances into containers with a small opening

Measuring Cylinder

A graduated cylinder is a piece of laboratory glassware used to measure the volume of liquids.

Evaporating basin 

An evaporating dish is used to evaporate solutions - that is, to turn them from a liquid state into a gaseous (gas) state. They are often made from ceramics.
