science project 9


OPINION
I think my project was fun and it was interesting to learn that the gum base was made of plastics and rubbers. I think my project could have been improved if I used some thing other than soda to try and dissolve the gum. If you are thinking of doing this project I suggest that you use some thing other than soda such as gasoline, dry ice in watter (hot), etc.
If I were to do my project again I would try to melt the gum instead of try to dissolve it.

CONCLUSION
my experiment resulted very different from my hypothesis I thought that Pepsi would dissolve the gum the fastest due to the acids in the bottle. As it turned out the only thing the soda dissolved was the hard shell, the reason being the gum base is made of plastics and rubbers there for a hard substance to dissolve and the acids in sodas are weak dissolving acids so that they do not dissolve or damage your digestive system.

DATA
   after waiting on my experiment for three weeks  nothing came of it besides the gums hard shell nothing dissolved so I went on line and found that none of the acids in the sodas I used would dissolve the plastics and rubbers the gum base is made of.
