 * THE STUDY OF VARIOUS PROPERTIES OF POP ROCKS **


 * ABSTRACT **

The purpose of this study was to see in which liquid Pop Rocks popped the quickest. Pop Rocks are made with a chemical called carbon dioxide. Pop Rocks were placed in different liquids and timed to see how long it took for them to pop. It was determined that they popped the quickest in water yet didn't pop in oil. This is because all the liquids other than milk - which took the longest to pop - had dihydrogen in them.


 * EXPERIMENTAL IMPROVEMENTS AND FUTURE EXPERIMENTS **

An improvement for this experiment would be, that if an experiment takes two days make sure to refrigerate the liquids overnight. This way, the answers will be more precise. Another improvement that could be done was to have been more precise with the measuring the pop rocks. An experiment that could be interesting in the future, would be to determine if the heat of the liquid affected how long it would take to pop. Another interesting experiment would be to find out if the amount of pop rocks affects how long it takes to pop.
