    This lab report summarizes an experiment testing how salt affects the freezing point of water. The student hypothesized that adding salt would lower the freezing point and prevent ice from completely freezing. Five cups of water with varying amounts of salt (0g, 5g, 10g, 15g, 20g) were placed in a freezer and their temperatures measured every 10 minutes. The results showed that the more salt added, the lower the temperature reached before freezing. The student concluded the hypothesis was correct and real-world applications of this property include using salt to melt ice on roads.

    Properties of Water Lab Report

    Instructions: Choose a property of water and design an experiment to test the property.
    Use the following lab template to ensure all lab report components are included.

    Title: Salt in the freezing point of water

    Objective(s):
    Identify the purpose of your investigation or the question you are attempting to answer. Be
    sure to tie in the property of water you are testing.

    How does adding salt affects the freezing point of water?

    Hypothesis: I think that salt will reduce the freezing point of water and prevent the ice to
    completely freeze.

    Variables:

     Independent Variable: Amount of salt in water


     Dependent Variable: Freezing point of water
     Controlled Variable is not needed.

    Materials:

    Ice

    Water

    Salt

    Five cups of water

    Measuring cup

    Thermometer

    Intelligent clock, with stopwatch and a timer

    Freezer

    Procedure:
    The procedure should be clear and detailed so that others can repeat it. The details should
    be specific in how the procedure changes the independent variable, controls all variables
    that need to be controlled, and observes or measures the resulting changes to the dependent
    variable.

    Place 100 ml of water in each of the cups. Then leave on cup without adding any salt, the
    second cup of water needs to have 5 grams of salt, the third one should have 10, the fourth
    15, the last cup 20. Your first cup of water doesn’t need any salt, so you can leave it only
    with the 100 ml of water. Remember to mix all the cups that have salt on them.

    After doing this, take your thermometer and measure each of the cups temperature, record
    them on a piece of paper! Then put your freezer in a very very cold temperature and place
    all the five cups in there.

    Every 10 minutes check your cups and measure their temperatures, even if they are not
    complete frozen. Always record the information on a piece of paper.

    Data and Observations:


    Present all data and observations in a neat and organized manner. Include tables and graphs
    where appropriate/possible.
    Conclusion:
    Be sure to answer the following reflection questions as a summary in the conclusion of
    your lab report:

     Was your hypothesis correct? Why or why not?


    Yes, my hypothesis was right because salt prevent ice to complete freeze.

     What were the results of your experiment?

    The results of my experiment were that the most salt you add, the least freeze the
    ice would be.

     What changes would you make if you were to repeat the experiment?

    I would use different type of salt.

    Questions:
    Using what you have learned in the lesson and the experiment, answer the following
    question in complete sentences.

     Analyze the property of water you investigated and provide some real-world
    applications of the importance of this property of water.

    One of the most important use of this property of water is in the winter time, when
    people use salt on the snow which converts into ice due to the low cold
    temperatures that occurred in those months of the year, salt is used to defrost the
    streets so it is not so dangerous to drive and cars wheels won’t slide and provoke an
    accident.

    Safety Notes:

     Always have parent(s) or guardian(s) permission and supervision when performing


    a lab activity at home.
     Wear proper protective clothing and eyewear when needed.
     Be sure to dispose of all materials properly.
     Always wash your hands carefully after touching anything in a lab investigation.
