Particle Theory Of Matter - Conduction

Aim: To observe conduction along a metal rod.

Method: 
1. Set up and light a bunsen burner.
2. Smear a small amount of vaseline on the head of each drawing pin.
3. Attach the drawing pins at even intervals along the length of the metal rod.
4. Clamp one end of the metal rod to a retort stand
5. Position the retort stand so the unclamped end of the metal rod is in the Bunsen flame and start the stopwatch.
6. Record the time it takes for each pin to drop in the table below

Results: As the rod got hotter, the vaseline melted and the pins fell of one by one

Observing Diffusion

Aim: To observe diffusion in a liquid
Method: 
1. Half fill your petri dish with cold tap water
2. Place the petri dish on your workbench and allow the water to become settled.
3. Using the tweezers, place a single crystal of potassium permanganate in the center of the Petri dish.
4. Observe for 5 minutes.
5. Repeat the experiment using hot water

Observation: We did two ways. With cold water, the crystals expanded slow. When we tried hot water, the crystals expanded fast.

Explanation: When the crystals are in hot water the particles move is in cold water and the particles move slower because the crystal is used to hot environments.

Investigating State Changes

Aim: To observe water as it changes state from a solid to liquid and then to a gas

Method: 
1. Collect enough ice so that your beaker is half full and place the thermometer into it while you set up the rest of the equipment.
2. Set up the retort stand and clamp alongside the tripod and gauze mat.
3. Place the beaker of ice on the gauze mat and gently clamp the thermometer so that it is held upright and the scale is easy to see. The bottom of your thermometer should be low enough to still be covered by water when the ice melts, but not touching the bottom of the beaker.
4. Record the initial temperature of the ice in the table below.
5. Light the bunsen burner and start timing with the stopwatch.
6. Measure and record the temperature every minute.
7. Continue measuring and recording the temperature until the water has been boiling for 2-3 minutes. 

Results: Each minute we recorded how long the temp would go. It got higher and when we turned it off it got lower
