Material:   turkey baster
                a tall glass (  about  6 in high,  2.5 in wide)
                a smaller glass
                a can of Mountain Dew or equivalent in color
                strawberry Cool Aid or powder equivalent in color

Experiment:

                Fill a third of the tall glass with Mountain Dew . Prepare in the small glass a concentrated
                solution of Cool Aid by dissolving two large tablespoons of powder in water- Do not use the sugar free powder !   Stir.
                Remove the rubber top of the turkey baster and use the wide plastic pipette as a funnel.
                Dip this funnel in the Mountain Dew( large glass) in such a way that the tip of the funnel
                touches the bottom of the glass.
                Pour very,very slowly some of the Cool Aid  in the pipette/funnel and observe it push the
               Mountain Dew up in the glass. Very,very
slowly remove the pipette and you can enjoy that special drink, sample each
               layer with a straw...and fill in the report.
 

   PLEASE PRINT THIS REPORT AND COMPLETE.    Name:  _____________________

               Calculations:     use the following conversions    :       1 inch =  2.54  cm
                                                                                                  1 cm 3 =  1 ml
                                                                                                  1 oz =   28.349 g
                                                                                                  1 liter = 0.264 gallon
                                                                                                  1 mole of sugar =  342 g

                1. calculate the volume of the glass in    in 3 , cm 3  and ml  ( use the glass above)

                                                                                                                              ans: _______ in 3
 
 

                                                                                                                              ans:________cm3
 
 

                                                                                                                              ans:________ml
 
 

                  2. compare the density of the Cool Aid to the density of the Mountain Dew: Higher/Lower?
                    Explain.
 
 
 

                3. determine the density of the Mountain Dew knowing that 355ml weighs 380 g.
                    Express your answer in g/ml and oz/gallon.
 
 
 

                                                                                                             ans: ___________ g/ml
 
 
 

                                                                                                            ans: ___________oz /  gallon
 

                 4. compare the density of Moutain Dew to the density of water; Higher/ Lower?
                     Explain.
 
 

                5. In a can of Mountain Dew there is 46 g of sugar ( sucrose) :calculate the number of mole.
 

                                                                                                                         ans: __________mol
