Sugar Smashing lab: Part 1 • Make a groovy foil frying pan! • Find the mass of the sugar cube and foil. ____g • Smash the sugar cube • Find the mass of the smashed sugar cube. ____g • Observations: • Was this a chemical or physical change? • Was there a change in mass?
Part 2! • Use the mass from part 1 for part 2 • Be sure not to lose any sugar! • Heat the sugar just until the edges start to brown. • Find the mass of the sugar “thing” and foil after heating mass after heating ____g • Observations: • Was this a physical change, chemical change, or both? Explain! • Was there any change in mass after heating? C12H22O11 H2O + C (black stuff) + other molecules
