   Review two (2) of the experiments conducted on Marshmallow Peeps.

a.   a.   Reaction to cold

b.   Reaction to heat

c.   Solubility testing

d.   Low-pressure environments

   For each of the 2 experiments discuss the following:

4.   What were the experimental questions?

5.   What were the experimental methods?

6.   What was the conclusion of each experiment?

7.   List 2-3 reasons for why each of the two experiments you reviewed on Peeps are really NOT experiments.

8.   Do these experiments affect your decision to eat Marshmallow Peeps?

Solution

Review two (2) of the experiments conducted on Marshmallow Peeps.

a.   a.   Reaction to cold the peep The peep was submerged when placed in liquid nitrogen.

b.   Reaction to heat The peep returned to elemental state upon autoclaving.

c.   Solubility testing

In water :no change.

in Acetone: Resistant ones survived without any change.

In sulphuric acid : Acid resistant

in NAOH : Nochange.
