Volcano Eruption Lab Report

The first experiment is about the combustion of magnesium after which the ash is formed.

Though many people will think there is a lot of bad in soda, technically it’s just carbonated water, which is basically “gas that’s called carbon dioxide that has been dissolved under high pressure” (sciencebuddies.org). When one opens a can of soda pop the carbon dioxide in it is released out causing the bubbles in the drink, and the best part for this project is that one can choose their own way to do it, yes they may have to follow what the recipe calls for but they can choose their favorite flavors and their own color for it like if they wanted to they could make a bacon flavored pop but it might not taste the best but the point would be that it would be their own idea.

The reaction you will be investigating is the reaction that occurs when an Alka-Seltzer tablet is placed into a given amount of water. Alka-Seltzer is an over-the-counter antacid and pain relief medication that is dissolved in water before it is ingested. Each tablet contains aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid), citric acid, and sodium bicarbonate. As the tablet dissolves in water, the bicarbonate ions in the tablet react with the hydrogen ions from the acids that are also contained in the tablet. The carbon dioxide gas produced by the reaction is what causes the bubbling that can be observed.

The substance I would have to say was the ball formation of the pyrite and the air bubbles in the water.

In this science experiment there will be a reaction. The reaction between the peroxide and yeast. The yeast is the last thing you add because when you add it the yeast acts as a catalyst to release the oxygen molecules from the peroxide. The foam is oxygen filled bubbles. At the end

What makes bath bombs fizz and bubble? Will a bath bomb containing lime juice rather than citric acid dissolve faster? I think there is a chemical reaction within the bath bomb that makes it fizz, but I am not sure what things are reacting. I also think that if I substitute lime juice for citric acid in one half of the bath bomb, the half with citric acid will dissolve quicker. This is because it is pure citric acid, unlike lime juice which has other things as well as citric acid in it.

Initially, the rock salt partially dissolved in the drops of water. After several minutes, the salt was more dissolved, but had not completely dissolved. There were very fine grains of salt that were visible at the base of the water bubble that hadn’t dissolved.

They are alkalic basalts and very similar to those found from the Raton phase, both chemically and petrographically. ((http://gsabulletin.gsapubs.org/content/80/7/1343.full.pdf) The Capulin Phase includes several different stages, all which occurred during the Pleistocene. All of the Capulin Phase flows are composed of Capulin basalt, which is a fluid lava containing 50% - 55% silica. They have a relatively high percentage of silica for a basalt, because of the presence of quartz grains. These grains came from sedimentary rocks underlying the volcano, e.g. the Dakota Sandstone. The earliest stage of this phase, Mud Hill, formed during a phreatomagmatic eruption, which means that it was driven by the interaction of magma and water, followed by basalt flows. That was approximately 1.7 million 30,000 years ago. The First Series lava flows happened simultaneously as the cinder cone was forming. They flowed east, originating from fissures or series of small vents. The eruption which formed the cone itself, consisted of fissures or several small vents which joined together into one main vent, and the pyroclastic material erupting built up around the vent forming a cone. This eruption lasted for a period of weeks to years, about 55,000 2,000 years ago. The next stage of the Capulin Phase was the Boca eruption. It occurred after the eruption of the main cinder cone had ended, and because the activity shifted from the

The active volcano that I chose to research is Popocatepetl volcano. Popocatepetl volcano is an active volcano located in Mexico. The volcano is oftentimes referred to as “El Popo” by many Mexicans. El Popo is a composite cone volcano. Being a composite cone volcano, El Popo is characterized by a steep cone shape, which was created by many composite layers of material pouring out over numerous eruptions. The lava that comes out of El Popo is extremely viscous. The highly viscous lava does not travel very far, and typically cools down rapidly. Scientists believe that El Popo is about 730,000 years old. It has erupted more than 15 times since 1519. In 1994 El Popo produced gas and ash, which caused nearby towns to evacuate. The toxic

The surface of a Mentos is coarse and bumpy, these bumps are called nucleation sites. These sites can be any bumpy surface like sandpaper or even the ridges of a finger, but since there are so many bumps on the surface of a Mentos they are perfect for this experiment. Soda is full of carbon dioxide, and normally, carbon dioxide molecules are separated, however when offered a nucleation site the molecules come together and form a bubble. Since the volume in this bottle greatly increases because of the production of bubbles the bubbles can not be contained, so they erupt out of the top of the

The soda ash form experiment 3 was obtained. A 250 ml beaker was obtained and rinsed.

Volcanic eruptions, in its simplest form, is when molten lava, gasses and ash are released and expelled out of the earth’s mantle from built up pressure. The liquid rock, or magma start to bubble and release gas which creates extreme pressure. A volcanic eruption occurs when the pressure pushes the magma and gasses to a crack or fissure in the surface of the mantle where it explodes out.

Ash plumes and steam rose into the bright blue sky as the underground earthquake shook the land and rattled windows all across the eighteen mile town. As the jet circled the island, in view of lovely beaches and emerald water, looming over this lush paradise was the screaming volcano. Volcanos erupt when the pressure inside of them becomes so great that the magma surges up and forces its way out. An exploding volcano can rip apart a mountain in just seconds, when the eruption is over, a landscape is changed forever. The united states is home to more volcanos than any other country except Indonesia, and Japan. The majority of these volcanoes are in Alaska. Until recently, there was no way to predict when a volcano would blow, although volcanoes give off many warning signs before they erupt. Including smaller earthquakes beneath the volcano, slight inflation, or swelling. The rising magma eventually causes the solid rock to break, sending earthquake signals. Most volcanoes give warning signs beginning weeks or months before they blow (Lindop).

The first type of volcano is the “Composite” volcano. This type of volcano has cinders, lava flows and mixed with gravel like sand. “Hollywood” types are easily recognized, many are located in popular areas; Vesuvius, Krakatoa, Fujiyama, and Mount St. Helens.
