Introduction To The Project: The Purpose of this project was to make water out of a combustion. So what we did first was we got some science based knowledge behind how to make water out of a combustion. So if you look below, I took notes on the science behind energy, atoms and the Periodic Table of the Elements.
Chemical Reaction: A change in matter where the atoms in one or more substances, combine, separate or rearrange to form one or more new substances.
How Does This All Happen: Atomic structure which is the nucleus, energy level and electrons. Rows tell you the energy level, and the columns show the number of electrons on the outer shell. Once the atoms combine and get enough electrons, they are stable. If they are not stable, what happens is the atom is combining with anything possible
Periodic Table Of The Elements: Very hard to get my head wrapped around this but, for example, 7 rows = 7 energy levels or 8 columns = 8 -1 in each energy level. (Except for energy level one.) You can have 8 electrons in your outer shell at any time, except when you are on energy level one. For example, magnesium and sulfur, both don't have the same amount of electrons, due to this because atoms want to have a full shell of electrons. What happens is, they both start to combine and react as a magnet.
Thermodynamics of Chemical RXNS: RXNS absorbs to EM/T energy/heat . Substances undergo reactions to reach lower energy states. For example, hitting a houses stilts down with just your hands. Or if you hit it down with a jack hammer, then it is the catalyst. Or the house is oxogen and the stilts are water. We have to find a way to get it down into the water, so we can use fire to bring it down.
Rule Of Thumb For Chemistry Elements combine in such a way, to get a full outer shell of electrons.
Todays Reaction: Making H20 with composition.
Composition RXN: Substances combine with oxogen to produce water and C02.
(2H2+02 -----> 2H20)
H+H+0 ----> H20
Looking Back: Our project turned out pretty awesome, all in all the project worked as planned. What we did was we got a flask and we made a mixture of water and citric acid. We then got a piece of magnesium ribbon, and broke it into little pieces. We then put the magnesium into the water, and put the ballon over. The ballon then started to fill up with hydrogen, and we burned the hydrogen.
Looking Beyond: When doing this, a lot of cool things happened, that I really did not imagine happening. For example, when we put the magnesium ribbon into the water, it started to fizz up in a very weird way. It then by time started to fill up the ballon, and cause it to fill up with hydrogen. We then lit the ballon on fire with a little candle, and it made a big bursted of flames which was an awesome show. I didn't know that was going to happen, which was super interesting when I saw it happen.
Looking Inward- Looking Outward: I think that I worked super well with Connor on this project, due to working together. I believe that I performed well, and I took a lot of time to get as many notes on the science as possible. I don't think there is anything that I can improve that would help out a lot. My goal is to do my work in this class like this, because I want to produce as much quality work as possible. I really liked how I was taking notes, while I was listening. That made it a lot easier because, I then had half of the blog post already done. My experience with this was great, and I would like to do a lot more of them through the year, so I can get as many points as possible.
Did you come up with any new ideas: Though this project it has made me want to do more projects like this. I really want to do more projects behind hydrogen, because I enjoy chemistry especially when there is fire involved.
