Lab: Kinetic Molecular Theory Name: _____________________ Purpose To demonstrate how particles move faster when the material has a higher temperature Hypothesis If the substance has a higher temperature, then the particles of that substance are moving faster Materials Five identical beakers Food colouring Stopwatch Thermometer Procedure 1. Pour an identical amount of water into each beaker 2. Prepare each beaker of water to a different temperature. Use ice to prepare the cold water sample, use the hot plate or kettle to prepare the hot samples of water. Prepare the five beakers are water with very different temperatures: eg. 0 0 C, 25 0 C, 50 0 C, 75 0 C and 100 0 C 3. Once your water samples are at the correct volume and temperature, add a single drop of food colouring. Time how long it takes for the food colouring to mix. It is important to add exactly the same amount of food colouring to each beaker. Data Beaker # 1 2 3 4 5 Volume (mL) Temperature ( 0 C) Time for food colouring to mix in water (s)
Questions 1. What do you notice about the time for the food colouring to mix into the water and the water temperature? 2. Why does the food colouring take a different time to mix in cold water than it does in hot water? 3. Summarize the Kinetic Molecular Theory. How does this activity help prove KMT? 4. Why is it important to use an identical amount of water in each beaker? 5. Why is it important to use an identical amount of food colouring in each beaker? 6. What did you find difficult in performing this lab? There are multiple steps that can go wrong, describe each of them.
