Ice Cube Dilemma Lab Report Purpose of Experiment We are conducting this experiment to determine if; ice melts faster in regular soda or diet soda, ice melts faster in regular soda or water, ice melts faster in sugar solution or water or ice melts faster in salt solution (MgSO4) or water. Description of Experiment Different solutions of water, regular soda, diet soda, sugar solution and salt solution will be placed in beakers, weighed and acclimated to room temperature. Water will be used as the control. A colored ice cube will be inserted into each solution and the time will be monitored to determine the melting times. The observations, comparisons and data will be recorded and analyzed to obtain a conclusion as to whether or not the hypothesis is true. Data, Observations and Calculations Please see attached data sheets. Post Lab Questions and Conclusions Water = .7g/minutes > diet soda = .63g/minutes > regular soda = .43g/minutes > salt solution = .38g/minutes > sugar solution = .32g/minutes 1a.
