C. Result of The Experiments

1. Remove the celery stalk from the glass and cut 1 centimeter off the bottom. Look for small
circles at the bottom of the stalk that are the color of the food coloring you used. Try to follow
the path of the colored water all the way up the stalk of the celery to the leaves. Take 2
pictures of the celery cross-section.

2. Count how many drops of liquids can fit in the coin. Do 4 trials and take an average.

Liquids Trial 1 Trial 2 Trial 3 Trial 4 Average

Water
Rubbing Alcohol
Dish Soap
Cooking oil

a. Which liquid do you think has the strongest molecular interactions? In other words, which
liquid can hold onto itself the tightest?
________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________

b. Why the coin was able to hold many drops of water before it overflowed?
________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________

c. What caused the water to spill over?

________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________

3. Flow time and analysis for liquids in the race.

Liquids Time (Seconds)

Honey

Cream

Ketchup

Mang Tomas

Relative Rate Liquid Flow Time (Seconds) Viscosity

Fastest Least Viscous

Slowest Most Viscous

 a. Why do you think each liquid behaves differently?
_______________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________

b. Which fluid has the lowest viscosity and the highest flow rate? (This one won the race)
Which fluid has the highest viscosity and the slowest flow rate? (This one took the longest
and ‘lost’ the race)
________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________

c. What can you say about the relationship between viscosity and the flow rate of a liquid?
________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________

2. How intermolecular forces of attraction influence surface tension?

________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________

3. How intermolecular forces of attraction affect viscosity?

________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________

4. Why does the strength of the intermolecular forces in a liquid change as the liquid is heated?
________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________
