HYPOTHESIS: The alcohol in wine is more concentrated

than the alcohol in rum therefore the wine is stronger so you
will get intoxicated quicker .
AIM: To compare the concentration of alcohol in the wine
and rum
APPARATUS: wine, rum, timer, conical flask, scale, gas
syringe, measuring apparatus
REAGENTS: Wine, Rum, calcium[s]
METHOD:
1. Measure 100ml of wine and pour into a conical flask.
2. Weigh 5g of calcium (Ca) using the scale.
3. Add the 5 g of Ca in the wine
4. Place a graduated gas syringe on the conical flask
5. Record the values every 10 mins for 1 hour.
6. make a table and graph showing amount of hydrogen
produced.
7. Repeat steps using the rum.

PREDICTED RESULTS:
The wine will produce more hydrogen gas than the rum
because the wine has a higher concentration of alcohol than
the rum.
DISCUSSION:
:

This experiment is to determine whether the concentration of

alcohol in wine is greater than the amount of alcohol present
in rum.
Discussion
What is the experiment about?
What is the chemical substance that you investigating?
What is the reaction involved? List any equations
Explain all possible outcomes

SOURCES OF ERROR:

 Not measuring the wine and rum at eye level

 taking values at the wrong time ??

 not measuring the wine and rum equally ??
 using unequal amounts of calcium in the wine and rumX

Nowhere have you mentioned the active ingredient in alcohol/

the chemical name or formula for edible alcohol!
