Where's The Evidence Lab?

Title of The lab: Where's The Evidence

The guiding question: What are some signs that a chemical reaction has taken place?

Your hypothesis: I think that when a chemical reaction or change in the water it starts sparkling and making some soda sounds. It might combust.

List of the Materials used:
1) Na2Co3- Sodium Carbonate
2)CaCl2- Calcium Chloride
3)HCl- Hydrochloric Acid
4)CuSO4- Copper Sulfate(acid)
5) Aluminium Foil
6)Zinc Pieces
7)Baking Soda
8)Vinegar
9)Magnesium Tablets
10)Spatula
11)Graduate Cylinders
12)Stirrer
13)Candle/matches
14)Goggles
15)Beakers/baby food jars
16)Starch
17)Iodine
18)* thermometer

Table of Analysis:


Reaction
Observations Before Reaction
Predictions
Observations During Reaction
Observations After Reaction
1)Baking Soda(Soda bicarbonate + vinegar)
It will bubble up.
It will turn white.
It bubble up and foams.
The vinegar has gas in it.
2)Copper Sulfate + Sodium Carbonate solutions
That is could bubble up and still stay blue.
It would be freezing.
It starts bubbling.
It stops a bit on the bottom and on the top.
3)Zinc piece + HCl
Liquid is clear.
Zinc could change color.
Bubble up and zinc changes color.
Fizzes the zinc and looks like its dissolving.
4)Calcium Chloride + Sodium Carbonate
Both liquids are clear.
Because both liquids are transparent it will turn white.
Turns white.
Stays the same.
5)Copper Suflate + Aluminium Foil Piece
Blue liquid and foil piece.
The aluminium foil piece will change color.
The foil changes color.
Aluminium turns black.
6)Starch + Iodine (I2)
Iodine is red (looks like blood) Starch is white powder.
It will change to a dark color.
Changes color. Gets darker and darker.
The color is darker and you see starch at the bottom.
7)Sugar + Heat
The color of the sugar would change.
It will change to caramel.
Sugar melts.
Sugar becomes brown and made caramel.
