Lab: Fizz Test

Name: Dhannieca Solar

Objectives:
● To identify if the collected rocks are carbonated or not.
● To see if the rocks are bubbling or not reacting when we drop a small
amount of vinegar.

Theory:
● The rocks are fizzing or bubbling if it is a carbonate mineral.
● Strong vinegar makes rocks react when it is calcite.
● Mild acids can dissolve rocks that contain calcium carbonate.

Procedure:
Step-by-step process in performing the experiment.
1. Must buy first vinegar to be used as a main equipment to be used to
identify the said experiment.
2. To start the experiment, we need to prepare our used rocks in the last
activity.
3. Get a plate or a thing can be placed rocks
4. Start performing one by one the collective rocks by dropping a small
amount of vinegar.
5. Observe if it has bubbles when dropping vinegar to its rocks.
6. Make sure you captured every rocks reaction when dropping vinegar
7. When the observation is done, start doing your fizz test.
Data:

Rock Number Observation Test Result

1 ● No reaction
● No calcium
carbonate

There was no reaction

when I dropped a small
amount of ordinary
vinegar in my first rock.
2 ● No reaction
● No calcium
carbonate

There was no reaction

when I dropped a small
amount of ordinary
vinegar in my second
rock.

3 ● has bubble
reaction

It reacts when dropping

small amounts of
ordinary vinegar.
4 ● It fizz and bubbles
● Calcium
carbonate

When I dropped a small

amount of ordinary
vinegar it reacts. and
the rock sucked vinegar.
5 ● No reaction
● No calcium
carbonate

There was no reaction

when I dropped a small
amount of ordinary
vinegar in my fifth rock.
6 ● bubble reaction
● Calcium
carbonate

When I drop a small

amount of ordinary
vinegar it reacts.
7 ● has bubble
reaction

When I drop a small

amount of ordinary
vinegar it reacts. The
rock sucked the vinegar.
8 ● No reaction
● No calcium
carbonate

There was no reaction

when I dropped a small
amount of ordinary
vinegar in my eight rock.
9 ● No reaction
● No calcium
carbonate

There was no reaction

when I dropped a small
amount of ordinary
vinegar in my nine rocks.
10 ● No reaction
● No calcium
carbonate
 There was no reaction
when I dropped a small
amount of ordinary
vinegar in my nine rocks.

Analysis:
The table shows the result of the experiment in identifying whether the
collected rocks of mine are carbon minerals or not. The picture shows if the rock
reacts to its bubbling or fizzing feature.
Moreover the table shows the rocks picture with its reaction, my observation
on it and the result.

Conclusion:
In conclusion, we need to identify our rocks if it is a carbonate mineral when
it reacts to bubbling and fizzing or not. We used vinegar/ I used ordinary vinegar
to test if my collective rocks are going to react like what must be the test result.
We need to observe our rocks too.
I therefore conclude that my collective rocks have only four (4) reactants
and the rest do not. My number 3,4,6,7 rocks reacted when I dropped a small
amount of ordinary vinegar they bubbles and fizz. The 1,2,5,8,9,10 have no
reaction because they are not calcium carbonate minerals. And I observed
that some of the rocks sucked vinegar. Some help vinegar to see how true color
rocks are. We can see the shining, dark color it has. Most of my sedimentary
rocks reacted when I dropped vinegar. igneous rocks none, and ,metamorphic
only one.
