The experiment concludes by comparing the total pressure of oxygen and carbon dioxide gases, showing a larger balloon as a result of the combined pressures.

Keywords

💡Dalton's Law of Partial Pressures

Dalton's Law of Partial Pressures states that the total pressure exerted by a mixture of gases is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of the individual gases in the mixture. In the video, this law is central to the experiments conducted, as the aim is to demonstrate how the pressure changes when different gases are mixed. For instance, when vinegar and baking soda are combined, they produce carbon dioxide gas, and the balloon's expansion is a visual representation of the increase in pressure as described by Dalton's Law.

💡Baking Soda

Baking soda, or sodium bicarbonate, is a key reactant in the experiment. It reacts with vinegar to produce carbon dioxide gas. In the script, it is used to fill a balloon, which then sits atop a bottle containing vinegar. The reaction between the baking soda and the vinegar leads to the production of gas, causing the balloon to inflate, illustrating the principle of gas formation and pressure increase.

💡Vinegar

Vinegar, which contains acetic acid, is another reactant in the experiment. It is mixed with baking soda to produce carbon dioxide. The script describes filling a bottle with vinegar and then shaking it with a balloon filled with baking soda on top, resulting in the balloon expanding due to the gas produced from the reaction, which is a direct application of the concept of gas pressure.

💡Carbon Dioxide

Carbon dioxide is the gas produced when vinegar and baking soda react. In the video, the formation of carbon dioxide is demonstrated through the inflation of a balloon, which is a visual representation of the gas's pressure. The script mentions the creation of carbon dioxide gas and the formation of bubbles, which is a key observation in understanding the experiment's outcome.

💡Bleach

Bleach, specifically when it contains sodium hypochlorite, is used in another part of the experiment to react with hydrogen peroxide. The script describes pouring bleach into a bottle and then adding a balloon filled with hydrogen peroxide on top. The reaction produces oxygen gas, which inflates the balloon, again demonstrating the principle of gas pressure as described by Dalton's Law.

💡Hydrogen Peroxide

Hydrogen peroxide is a chemical used in the experiment to react with bleach. The script mentions filling a balloon with hydrogen peroxide and then placing it on a bottle containing bleach. The reaction between these two chemicals produces oxygen gas, causing the balloon to expand, which is another example of how individual gas pressures contribute to the total pressure according to Dalton's Law.

💡Gloves

Gloves are mentioned in the script as a safety measure to protect hands from chemicals during the experiment. They are a practical example of the precautions taken to ensure safety while handling potentially hazardous substances, which is an important aspect of conducting scientific experiments.

💡Face Masks

Face masks are used in the experiment to protect from unnecessary smells from the chemicals. They are another safety measure highlighted in the script, emphasizing the importance of personal protective equipment in a laboratory setting to prevent inhalation of potentially harmful fumes.

💡Lab Gown

A lab gown is worn to protect the body from unnecessary chemicals, as mentioned in the script. It is part of the personal protective equipment used during the experiment, showcasing the comprehensive safety measures taken to protect the experimenter from chemical exposure.

💡Funnel

A funnel is used in the experiment to pour chemicals like bleach and hydrogen peroxide into bottles without spilling, as described in the script. It is a practical tool that aids in the accurate and safe handling of liquids in a laboratory setting.

💡Oxygen Gas

Oxygen gas is produced in the experiment when hydrogen peroxide reacts with bleach. The script describes the production of oxygen gas and its effect on the balloon's inflation, which is another demonstration of gas pressure. The experiment shows that the total pressure in the last balloon, which contains both oxygen and carbon dioxide, is greater than that of a single gas, illustrating the summation of partial pressures.

[Music]

in

conclusion when vinegar and baking soda

are mixed together it creates a carbon

dioxide gas and form a bubbles their

action of two ingredients was quickly

visible after they mix together in

addition the pressure of carbon dioxide

drop in the balloon as soon as the

balloon is placed on the top of the

bottle letting us know the amount of the

pressure by the size of the balloon

today we are going to make an experiment

and these are the materials

and let's go

for the first material these are the two

pieces of balloon

provide also a two pieces of empty

bottles

and we will also use a funnel

we will use gloves to protect our hands

from chemicals

face masks to prevent us from smelling

unnecessary smells from chemicals

and we should also provide a lab gown

we have here the hydrogen peroxide and

beach as a primary materials for this

experiment

vinegar and baking soda is also our

primary materials

and that's all the materials that we

will need

we have three objectives for this first

experiment the first one is to better

understand the concept of dalton's law

to determine the individual pressure of

each gases and to prove that the total

pressure of a gas is the sum of the

partial pressures of individual

gases

after we get all the needed materials we

will get a two bottles and fill the

other bottle with an ample amount of

bleach

while pouring the bleach in the bottle

we will use a funnel to avoid spilling

the bleach on the table

after pouring the bleach in the bottle

we will fill the balloon with a hydrogen

again we will use a funnel to properly

pour the hydrogen peroxide inside the

balloon

[Music]

we will now place the balloon at the top

widely but carefully

[Music]

after that we will now pour the hydrogen

peroxide inside the bottle

we need to shake the bottle to mix up

the chemicals in it

and this is the result of the mixture of

hydrogen peroxide and bleach

[Music]

in conclusion to that when hydrogen

peroxide and bleach are mixed together

it will create an oxygen gas and it will

form a bubbles in order to make this

experiment possible the bleach must

contain sodium hypochlorite as soon as

the two ingredients are mixed together

the reaction quickly occurs and the

amount of pressure of gas was visible in

the size of the balloon

for this part we need to grab a new

bottle and fill it with vinegar and

baking soda

[Music]

we will use a funnel again to avoid

spilling the materials on the table

we will now take out the balloon from

the bottle of hydrogen peroxide and

bleach mixture

[Music]

we will now fill the bottle with baking

soda

then carefully put the balloon at the

top of the bottle

and shake the bottle to mix it up until

the balloon expands

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

this will be the result of total

pressure of oxygen gas and carbon

dioxide

in conclusion this experiment proves

that when you add the partial pressures

of different mixtures example given

oxygen gas and carbon dioxide the result

would be the total pressure of the two

mixtures in the last experiment you

would notice that the last balloon was

bigger than the

first one because it is the total

pressure of oxygen gas and carbon

dioxide
