create bouncy balls contains the polymer polyvinyl acetate (PVA). When this is reacted with Borax, the polymer cross-links to itself. Cornstarch, another major ingredient the bouncy balls, acts as a thickening agent. Hypothesis: If the amount of Borax in the solution is doubled, then the ball will bounce higher because an
tetraborate decahydrate (also known as borax) is a chemical compound that is slightly soluble in cold water but very soluble in hot water (“Borax”). Some of the various uses of borax are a cleansing agent, an antiseptic, occasionally as a preservative and used as a flux for silver soldering. The purpose of the experiment was to determine the thermodynamic quantities, enthalpy (ΔH°) and the standardized entropy (ΔS°) of the solvation of sodium tetraborate decahydrate, borax, in water. This was achieved by
wanted my van painted, but aside from the cost, it would require sanding, and I would have to lay over a couple of days. I decided to save time and money and suffer the consequences. Kingman was my destination, and that was still a long way from Borax. I stopped at a small village called Wikieup, for gas. The attendant was a friendly sort, and when I told him I was heading for California by way of Kingman, he suggested a shortcut on a secondary road called Chicken Springs Road, and that it would
that an error could have occurred and skewed the data. One such error could be in the difference in temperature for trials 1 and 2. Although there was a short window between the trials for the Borax solution in an ice bath, but in this time the temperature could have changed a couple of degrees.
to test to see what condition borax crystals would grow best in. The problem was, “Do borax crystals grow best at room temperature, in a fridge, or in an ice bath?” My hypothesis was that the crystals would grow the largest in the freezer. My idea was that the ice would cause the crystals to expand and weigh the most out of the three. To begin this experiment, I purchased two boxes of borax to pour inside of the pot, two tall glass glasses to hold the borax solution, one ball of string to
chemical change? The slime can be stored in the plastic bags, if it is left out of the bags for a long period of time it will dry out. The chemical reaction occurring is the connecting of two molecules together in the Elmer's glue where the borate in the borax is the
Seeing that the borax and glue are mixed first with or without water, when combing then, they cooperate through hydrogen bonding. Matrix polymer is the glu and the borax combined together to make the slime, rather than linear polymer, which is glue by itself (Discovery center). What makes slime stretchy and thick? The glue has flexible molecules in it called polymers, they slide past each other as liquid. Borate ion (B(OH)4- is borax in water forming the ion. When the solution (borax) is added to
glue”, but is is basically like all regular “PVA” . There is not much difference in Elmer’s glue And regular “PVA glue.” There are many parts to making slime like the right amount of Borax. For instance you could put too much borax and your slime will be hard , and we don’t want that. Do you know how slime works? The borax dissolves into the water the water into sodium ions Na^t, and tetraborate ion. Hydrogen
Glue website, they have Slime recipes on the front page! Also if you scroll down you get the same result, Slime, Slime, Slime! Borax, another one of slimes key ingredient! Borax is an important boron compound. Borax is made from composites from seasonal lakes. Borax is a made of little white crystals. Borax isn't only used for Slime. Borax is a detergent booster. So Borax is not safe for everybody, it will have different symptoms to different
and 1 teaspoon of Borax powder. As I teach you to make slime, you’ll find that it is a bit messy, but in the end it is super satisfying and stress relieving. To begin, get one of your bowls and your mixing utensil. Then, in your bowl, measure 1 cup of warm water, and pour it in. You can either warm it up in your microwave or set your faucet to the warm setting. Next, measure 1 teaspoon of Borax powder and pour it into the warm water. Be careful during this stage because Borax is a dangerous chemical;
Data Analysis Does the mass of a substance, borax, sugar, or Epsom Salt, affect how wide a crystal will grow? The hypothesis is,”If crystals are grown in borax, then the crystal will have a bigger width than the crystals made with Epsom Salt and sugar”. In this experiment, the independent variable is the mass of the substance added to water, such as borax, sugar, or Epsom Salt. The dependent variable is the width of the crystals after having seven days to form. Some control variables are using
types of slimes to keep themselves entertained. Slime has been around for many years, but recently there has been new ways to make slime at home. Slime can be made using many different ingredients. Some common ingredients used to make slime include; Borax, baking soda, contact lens solution, water, and liquid starch. All of these slime recipes have one ingredient in common, glue. Kids have an array of substances they can add to their slime mixture to create more fun. Additional substances can include
In the future, people will have lightning fast computers and a new kind of phone. All of their new electronics will have crystals in their construction somewhere. From microchips with super-storage or photon-processing crystals, crystals will be everywhere. And they already are. Crystals are used in color changing paint and even in the touch screen of smartphones. Many famous scientists are researching crystals and how they could be used. Crystals are natural wonders of nature that are built
at hand. Borax acts as a cross-linker for the polymer molecules in the polyvinyl acetate which makes chains of molecules stay together when you pick them up [2]. The balls will then be tested for durability and quality through a series of tests thought up based on certain conditions needing to be met. Having the balls put through these varying conditions will show how optimal the choice of combination of the reactants used to make the final ball really was [4]. Materials/Methods: Borax Polyvinyl
group number for Boron is 13 and the periodic number for Boron is 2. It is also in the p block. Its element category is a metalloid. Boron came from the Arabic word Buraq and the Persian word Burah, which are both meanings for the material called “Borax.” Boron is a tough element – very hard, and very resistant to heat. In its crystalline form it is the second hardest of all the elements on the mohs scale – only carbon (diamond) is harder. Only 11 elements have higher melting points than boron: these
The Victorian Era is a Era that is extremely known throughout society. It’s known to take place in the United Kingdom of Great Britain, In the Nineteenth century. The Era is named after their Queen Victoria, The Queen at the time who ruled until her death in 1901, in which the era had ended. The era had many things go on throughout the years, in a nutshell it was a industrial revolution. The era has a lot of influence even in modern times, the parts of modern time pop culture has even structured

Witches’ Loaves Essay Revision In O. Henry’s Witches’ Loaves, the author wants to express what loneliness, desperation for companionship, and other middle aged dilemmas can cloud a person’s judgement through their actions that can harm others as well. Miss Martha, the protagonist of the story, is a middle aged, single woman with a sympathetic heart. She owned a bakery and she had her eyes on a regular customer of hers. “Miss Martha was forty, her bank book showed a credit of $2000 and possessed
Phosphates Phosphates may be created by substituting some or all of the hydrogen of a phosphoric acid by metals. Depending on the number of hydrogen atoms that are replaced, the resulting compound is described as a primary, secondary or tertiary phosphate. Primary and secondary phosphates contain hydrogen and are acid salts. Secondary and tertiary phosphates, with the exception of those of sodium, potassium and ammonium are insoluble in water. Tertiary sodium phosphate is valuable as a detergent
Glossitis is an infection of the tongue, which can be because of warm, or sure deficiencies. When the tongue swells, it typically turns into clean and darkish pink, as well as feeling sore and uncomfortably swollen. Main Causes of Glossitis/Inflammation of Tongue The situation is most often as a result of burning the tongue on warm meals. It can be because of consuming spicy food, irritation from dentures, excessive alcohol and tobacco intake. Pipe smoking reasons glossitis and is associated cancer
