About Labman Expertise I can answer general chemistry questions and those specific to the paint, plastic, and resins fields I have worked in. If I can`t give an answer I know is correct, I will say so. I will not answer questions that sound too much like you need to read your assignment. I will try to help you it if you have read it and do not understand it.
Experience I have a BS in chemistry and years of experience in the paint and plastic industries. Part of that was as a manager
in a production facility
Question Honest opinion do you think this is a good 6th grader science project? I'm doing which soda's soda fizz out of the 4 sodas will in/decrease the most when I add 4 raisins to each equal amount of soda. So I'm not sure how to measure the soda fizz any ideas,and your honest opinion aboutmy project.email me asap
Answer Sounds like an interesting project. Use bottled soda with plastic caps. Buy some clear, soft, flexible plastic tubing at a hardware or pet store. Drill, or have somebody older, drill holes just a little smaller than the tubing in the caps. Maybe use extra caps and do not unseal the soda until everything is ready. Force one end of the tubing through the hole in the cap. It may help to cut the tubing at an angle to get it started. Make a loop in the tubing below the soda bottle, and fill the loop half full of water. Uncap the soda, add the raisins, and put the cap with the tubing on the bottle. As the fizz comes off, it will force the water down the one side and up the other. Measure the difference in height. You can use the different heights to compare the fizz, or go ahead and calculate the volume. The volume will be the length times 3.14, times 1/2 the diameter, times 1/2 the diameter again. Later you will learn that as l x pi x r^2. r^2 means r x r.
