  1. Reaction Powered Car CBEE 2009 Fall 2009 Tyler Folkman Ammar Alsaeed Gina Pimentel

  2. Reaction Chemistry Hydrochloric Acid Baking Soda Sodium Chloride Carbon Dioxide Theoretical Predictions Molar Mass 36.45 g/mol Hydrochloric Acid 84 g/mol In the reaction every compound is 1:1 mole ratio Baking Soda Sodium Chloride 58 g/mol Carbon Dioxide 44 g/mol

  3. Theoretical Predictions CONTINUATION Ideal gas law- arrange to solve for n Since the reaction is 1:1 mole ratio we can predict that HCl and Baking soda is 0.145 moles

  4. Theoretical Predictions CONTINUATION Since the reaction is 1:1 mole ratio we can predict that HCl and Baking soda is 0.145 moles Convert moles to L using M equation Convert moles to grams

  5. Another reaction We tried another reaction that is Citric acid mix with baking soda. And we collected some data. The car moved 10 ft maximum. Citric Acid Baking soda Sodium Citrate Carbon Dioxide Theoretical Predictions Molar Mass 192 g/mol Citric Acid In the reaction carbon Dioxide and Baking soda are 1:1 mole ratio BUT carbon Dioxide and Citric acid are 3: 1 mole ratio 84 g/mol Baking soda 36.45 g/mol Sodium Citrate 258 g/mol Carbon dioxide

  6. Testing Results close to 25 ft Made it to finals Note: All calculations are calculated via Excel

  7. Testing Results – Semi finals Made it to finals “4th place”

  8. Testing Results – PLOTS Values Distance Traveled

  9. Conclusions- Drawings END – 25 ft A quick drawing shows our best RUNs 3rd run 20 ft • Generally the car performed well because of its unique design and intense group care. • The car didn’t spew in the most of runs especially in the final tests. • We maintained good table of data so we can know if any errors happens. • The citric acid experiment failed but the car moved to 10 ft maximum after couple of runs. 1st run NO spew 15 ft 2nd run 10 ft 11.5 g Baking Soda 12.0 mL HCl 14 mL water START

  10. Random Pictures

  12. Letter to Dr. Skip Dear Dr. Skip, During this term fall 2009, we have enjoyed our times in your class. You are totally a great instructor. We have gained allot of knowledge through the whole term and the stuff covered in the class were interesting and important. You were emphasizing on materials that will help us in engineering major later on. There are many qualities that you own. You were a great helper to the students especially us. Finally, we wish you the best of the best and have great winter break with your family! Regards, Ammar Alsaeed Gina Pimentel Tyler Folkman
