Praktikum Mandiri:Minuman Bersoda 🥤🫧

Summary

In this practical experiment, the E3 group demonstrates the process of making soda. The goal is to understand the chemical reaction between baking soda and citric acid that produces carbon dioxide gas, creating bubbles in the soda. The experiment involves two glasses: one as a control with just water and the other with added citric acid and baking soda. The bubbling effect in the experimental glass confirms the reaction. The experiment also aims to explore the ingredients and the chemical changes that occur before and after adding baking soda to the solution.

Takeaways

• 😀 The group is conducting an independent experiment on making soda drinks.
• 😀 The main goal is to understand the process of creating soda drinks.
• 😀 Another goal is to identify the ingredients found in soda drinks.
• 😀 The final goal is to observe the chemical reactions before and after adding baking soda to the solution.
• 😀 The experiment uses two main ingredients: baking soda and citric acid.
• 😀 Two glasses of water are used for the experiment, one as a control and the other as the experimental sample.
• 😀 The control glass contains only water, while the experimental glass includes both citric acid and baking soda.
• 😀 The experiment demonstrates that the reaction between citric acid and baking soda produces carbon dioxide gas.
• 😀 The production of carbon dioxide is what creates the bubbling or soda effect in the experimental glass.
• 😀 The bubbling effect only occurs in the glass containing both citric acid and baking soda, proving the chemical reaction.

Q & A

What is the main objective of the experiment?

The main objective is to understand the process of making soda beverages, identify the ingredients involved, and observe the reactions that occur when baking soda is added to a solution.

What are the specific ingredients used in this experiment?

The ingredients used in the experiment include baking soda, citric acid, sugar, and water.

Why are there two glasses used in this experiment?

Two glasses are used to compare the effects of adding different ingredients. One glass acts as a control with just water, and the other contains water along with citric acid and baking soda as the experimental variables.

What is the role of citric acid and baking soda in this experiment?

Citric acid and baking soda react together to produce carbon dioxide gas, which causes the bubbling effect in the liquid, simulating the fizz in soda drinks.

What does the bubbling effect in the experiment indicate?

The bubbling effect indicates the chemical reaction between citric acid and baking soda, which releases carbon dioxide gas, creating the fizzy bubbles commonly seen in soda.

What happens in glass A during the experiment?

In glass A, the combination of citric acid and baking soda with water produces a bubbly reaction, demonstrating the formation of carbon dioxide gas.

Why is glass B considered the control in the experiment?

Glass B is the control because it only contains water with no added citric acid or baking soda, allowing for a comparison to see the effect of the added ingredients in glass A.

What is the significance of the sugar used in the experiment?

Sugar is added to both glasses to sweeten the solution, mimicking the sweetness typically found in soda beverages, though it does not directly affect the bubbling reaction.

What chemical reaction is demonstrated in this experiment?

The experiment demonstrates an acid-base reaction between citric acid and baking soda, which produces carbon dioxide gas (CO2), water, and sodium citrate.

How does this experiment help in understanding soda production?

This experiment helps to understand how carbonation (the presence of CO2 gas) is created in soda beverages, as the reaction between citric acid and baking soda mimics the process of carbonation.
