PROJECT SUMMARY
In this lab we worked on miscible and imiscible mixtures, the video shown is an example of an imiscible mixture which means that the components don’t mix with eachother like oil and water.
WHY?
We did this project to familiarize ourselves with polar and non polar substances and how intramolecular forces can make a substance be able to mix with other types of solutions
HOW?
I created this project by using 2 mystery solutions and glitter. (picture attatched)
WHAT?
I found out that these substances were imiscible when mixed with eachother because of the ion-dipole that is formed which pushes the other substance to the top
SO WHAT?
The results gotten were important because they helped me understand the different types of bonds with hands on work. I was able to visualize the forces and strengths of bonds, ion-dipole one being the strongest.
WHAT'S NEXT?
I could have improved my project by redoing it and adding some calculations to it like perhaps testing the ph of the differnt solutions (acentone and NaClaq)

JUDGES FEEDBACK
This looks like a very interesting investigation into why some liquids combine and others do not. Hands on experiments are a great way to learn and see first hand what happens when 2 or more materials are combined. It is great that you are not only looking at the physical results, but beginning to under the chemical and ion relationships in liquids that make them miscible/immiscible. Unfortunately, I was not able to see your video, so I recommend that you link that for future STEAM projects. I am not sure if you were able to do this, but you could also extend your investigations by modeling the ion-dipole force with the substances you were experimenting with. Keep exploring!
