Microwave Experiment
Aim of the Experiment:
To find out the time taken for water to be
microwaved to boiling point, 100°c
Apparatus:
·
1
microwave
·
1
laboratory thermometer
·
1
measuring cup
·
1
measuring cup
·
Tap
water
Steps of Experiment:
1.
From
Experiment #1, amount of water to keep a sponge moist is known.
2.
Fill
measuring cup with the amount of water.
3.
Pour
this amount of water in the microwaveable cup.
4.
Repeat
Steps 2 and 3 nine more times; thus, the total amount of times Steps 2 and 3
are repeated is 10. This is going along the fact that there would be 10 sponges
in each batch.
5.
Place
a thermometer in the microwaveable cup.
6.
Place
the microwaveable cup in the microwave.
7.
Switch
on the microwave, turning the timer to 1 minute.
8.
Check
temperature of water through thermometer after 1 minute of microwaving.
9.
If
temperature is less than 100°c, slowly increase the timer after repeating Steps
1 to 6.
10.
Repeat
Step 9 until temperature reaches 100°c.
11.
If
temperature is more than 100°c, slowly decrease the timer after repeating Steps
1 to 6.
12.
Repeat
Step 11 until temperature reaches 100°c.
13.
If
temperature is exactly at 100°c, experiment is concluded.
