Chemical Dominoes Purpose: the purpose of this project was to learn and use the things we learned in the labs up to this point in the year in a fun and creative way.
Chemistry concepts: First in the balloon we mixed hydroelectric acid with calcium carbonate which when mixed together made carbon dioxide which filled the balloon. Then after the marble rolled and hit the dominoes over(kinda) then the lit match at the end of the domino lit a string soaked with alcohol and released a pop sickle stick with copper chloride into a bunsen burner which changes the color of the fame. meanwhile the rest of the dominoes are falling and knocking over a cup of copper chloride onto a watch glass to disintegrate an aluminum strip to trigger a led light to turn on. Reflection: During this project I learned new things and had fun while doing it. The Hardest part was making everything land perfectly were it needs to. I learned how to compromise and use all of our ideas to make our project better. Another thing that I learned is how to work on other parts of the projects while others are working instead of everyone trying to work on the same thing. If i were able to improve on this project i would have tried to pay more attention to detail which is very important in this project. I would have also tried to put more reactions in and made it longer, unfortunately we didn't have to time to that. I glad we did this project and would definitely do something similar to it again.
