Purpose The purpose of this lab was to determine the effect that temperature has on the rate of diffusion of food coloring in water. Problem What effect does temperature have on the rate of diffusion of food coloring in water? Hypothesis If the water is heated to a warm temperature, and food coloring is then added to the water, the rate of diffusion of the food coloring in the water will be much faster. If the water is at a colder temperature, and food coloring is then added to the water, the rate of diffusion of the food coloring into the water will be at a much less rapid rate. Materials The materials used were: * 200ml beaker * food coloring * water * ice * bunsen burner * thermometer * stopwatch * beaker tongs Variables The quantity of water and the quantity of food coloring used during this experiment are both controlled variables. They are controlled by measuring out...
