Chemistry in a Bag
First we put the 1 scoop of both dry solutions into the bag. Calcium Chloride and Baking Soda (Sodium Bicarbonate) were put into one corner of the bag and sealed off. In the other corner we put one pipette of phenol red and sealed it off. We had to seperate them so they wouldn't interact before we sealed off the bag. Then we took all the air out of the bag and sealed it. Next we untwisted it and let them interact. We then observed the three chemicals as they went from their own forms of white powder and red liquid to a warm,orange color. We continued to watch as the bag began to fill up with gas and turned yellow in color. Slowly the calcium chloride and the baking soda began to dissolve and seemed to evaporate. The bag didn't explode but it did have a pillow-like structure. Next we tested some different chemicals such as phenol red with calcium chloride. We found out that when the substance becomes warm, it is because of the calcium chloride. Calcium chloride, when mixed with a liquid, turns very warm which is like the rock salt we use when the roads get icy. The phenol red when mixed with water stays a red color. Mix the two solid forms with the liquids, and the bag will fill up with gas, become warm and turn an orange-yellow color with a gassy, rotten egg odor.
1. Calcium chloride causes the temperature to turn to warm.
2. The controlled experiment without calcium chloride did not have a temperature change.
3. In the overall reaction the color changed to a orange color. In the controlled experiments we could don't find what caused the color to change.
4. The temperature changed before the gas bubbles formed.
5. All experiments required a liquid for a reaction to occur.
6. Gas is the new substance formed when all chemicals are mixed in the bag. Chemicals responsible are both the solids and water.
7. An experiment that could be tested is adding different amounts of water to see if calcium chloride's physical identity change occurs.
8. A temperature change doesn't always indicate a chemical reaction because you could see a color change or a physical change.

2) answer: most of the time with the sodium bicarbonate the temperature was lower. But with the calcium chloride the temperature usually got warmer.
3) answer: mostly the color changed to a pink color because if the phenol red. But when the baking soda was added with the phenol red and calcium chloride and baking soda the color changed to pink then yellow then orange.
4) answer: not necessarily. Sometimes the temperature change occurs before the color change. Only by a few seconds, though.
5) answer: all of our experiments were composed with fluid of some sort. Whether it was water or phenol red. It seems to be necessary for the experiment to react correctly.
6) answer: the combination of chemicals that we used in our experiment usually created a new temperature and a new color. Not always a new smell. But throughout the observations I have concluded that a new substance is made through each experiment.
7) answer: maybe mixing the chemical with water would change it a different color.
8) answer: because if there wasn't a retain of any kind then it wouldn't change anything. Temperature is a change. So if it changes temperature then there is a retain going on.
1. baking soda and phenol red made it cold
2.calcium chloride and phenol red made it hot
3.orange. what made the color change was the calcium chloride and the baking soda and phenol red made it turn orange.
4.the temperature started to change right when the chemical touch the color change a little bit after that.
5. All of the experiments required a liquid for a reaction to occur in the bag.
6. Gas is the new substance formed when all chemicals are mixed in the bag. Chemicals responsible are both the solids and water.
7. An experiment that could be tested is to add different amounts of water to see if calcium chloride's looks would change.
8. A temperature isn't the only change that indicate a chemical reaction because their is also the physical change and the smell.
Next was sodium bicarbonate and fennel red into the baggie and mixed them together by shaking the baggie together as well. The baggie turned very hot because of the sodium bicarbonate. It was also hot pink and smelled like rubbing alcohol.
Questions:
1. Calcium chloride with fennel red and sodium bicarbonate with fennel red.
2. Because calcium chloride turns hot
3. It turned hot pink an orange-yellow color. Yes, because we mixed calcium chloride/sodium bicarbonate with fennel red. The white made the red color lighter.
4. No, because they both have slower chemical reaction.
5. No, without water there was no chemical reaction.
6. sodium bicarbonate and then calcium chloride and fennel red and water.
7. We put calcium chloride in a bag with water.
8. Yes because the temp. changed, but then no because other possible chemical reactions and then such as gas bubbles.
Chemistry in bag.
in the experiment with water, calcium chloride, and fenol red it got really hot and it smells like alcohol. the color turned pink.
in the experiment with water, calcium chloride, fenol red, and sodium bicarbonate it stayed at a neutral temparture, and had a smell similar to rubing alcohol. and the color turned orange and yellow.
1. the temparture change was contributed by the sodium bicarbonate and calcium chloride.
2. yes it got cold when it was just sodium bicarbonate, water, and fenol red. and it got hot when it was just calcuim chloride, water, and fenol red.
3. yes when all the chemicals mix together they turn orange but when its just one or the other it turns pink.
4. yes.
5. no.
6. the fenol red and water.
7. no.

1. Turned Yellowish/orange
2. Had a cold feeling to the touch
3. Smelled of alcohol
Answer to Questions :
1. The Calcium Chloride and the Fenal Red had the most temperature change, it got really warm.
2.Yes, All of the experiments had a temperature change, the first and third experiments were warmish/hot and the second one was cold.
3. First experiment started to turn Yellowish/Orange, Second turned Pink, and Third it turned Dark Red.
4. Yes, Because when your shaking it and feeling for a temperature change your also watching it and seeing if the color changes.
5. It changed the same way the first experiment did so, I dont think that the water interfered with anything during the reaction.
6. There was a new substance formed from mixing the 3-4 substances together.
7. Mix the Calcium Chloride and Water together and see if there is a reaction.
8. Yes, Well in the 3 experiment that I did all the temperatures had changed in the baggies and they were not the same as every experiment but they all did change.
Chemistry Lab
Trial observations:
Baking soda and phenol red: pink, cold, and no gas.
Calcium chloride and phenol red: orange, pink, no gas, warm, and smells.
Water and calcium chloride: warm, white, and no gas.
Water and baking soda: white, cold, and no gas.
Questions:
1. The calcium chloride caused the major temperature change from cold to warm.
2. The experiments that did not get warm were the ones without calcium chloride.
3. The color observed in the overall reaction was orange. The cause of the color change could not be found in the controlled experiments.
4. The temperature changed before the gas bubbles were formed.
5. All the experiments required liquid for a Reaction to occur.
6. Gas is the new substance formed when all chemicals are used in the experiment. Chemicals that are responsible are both solids and water.
7. Test different amounts of water with the calcium chloride to see if there is any changes.
8. A temperature change does not always indicate a chemical reaction because you could see a color change or a physical change.

This video shows the chemical reaction of 1 scoop calcium chloride, 1 scoop sodium bicarbonate, 1 pipette of phenol red and NO water.
This video shows the chemical reaction of 1 scoop sodium bicarbonate, 1 pipette phenol red, 1 pipette water and NO calcium chloride.
This video shows the reaction of 1 scoop calcium chloride, 1 scoop sodium bicarbonate, 1 pipette water and NO phenol red.
This video shows the chemical reaction of 1 scoop calcium chloride, 1 pipette of phenol red, 1 pipette of water and NO sodium bicarbonate.
LAB QUESTIONS:
1. When we took out the Sodium Bicarbonate, the water & phenol red reacted with the calcium chloride. It caused the substance to get very hot, very fast. When we took out the calcium chloride, the water & phenol red reacted with the Sodium Bicarbonate. The substance became cooler.
2. Yes, when we did the actual experiment we didn't notice much of a temperature change. We now know that it was the two different temperatures balancing each other out.
3. With all the mixed substances, the contents of the bag turned into a yellow/pinkish color. When we took out the sodium bicarbonate, the contents stayed red. When we took out the calcium chloride, the contents turned a pinkish color.
4. Yes, almost immediately after we mixed the chemicals, the contents would turn color and the bag would fill up with gas.
5. We tried the mixture with out phenol red and we tried the mixture without water. When we didnt add in the water, the substance turned yellow and produced A LOT of gas. Most of the substance was turned into a gas.
6. There is a lot of evidence that a new substance was formed, one of the reasons we think this is because the bag filled up with air. A new gas was created. Also, the substance changed texture.
7. Mix it with water. Then mix it with a different liquid and compare the reactions.
8. I dont think it always means there was a chemical change. When our substance without the sodium bicarbonate got really hot, its look stayed the exact same and nothing happened except the temp change.
Baggy Experiment
- The Calcium Chloride mixed with Phenol Red made it warmer.
- The Baking Soda mixed with the Phenol Red became cold.
- The overall reaction went from pink to orange to yellow. The controlled experiments provide evidence for the combination turning pink, but not orange and yellow.
- Yes, because the gas being created could be causing color change.
- The liquid is needed, otherwise nothing happens to the powders. There is still color, temperature, and smell change without water.
- A new chemical is produced by the evidence: color change, temperature change, and smell.
- You could just mix the Calcium Chloride with Phenol Red.
- Temperature change is caused by a chemical reaction because different chemical mixtures cause things to be hot or cold. The temperature wouldn't just randomly go from hot to cold unless it was a reaction to a new chemical being mixed into the substance.
Chemistry in a Bag

Questions:
- Calcium Chloride and phenol red were very hot, whereas Calcium Chloride, Sodium Bicarbonate, and phenol red were very cold.
- Yes, calcium Chloride and phenol red were very HOT.
- Yes, in the original, it turned yellow. Calcium chloride phenol red and Sodium bicarbonate made it yellow as well.
- Yes, when gas is created, a chemical reaction is occuring which produces a temp. change.
- When the sodium bicarbonate and calcium chloride were mixed together, there was no reaction. In the abscence of water, yes. In the absence of liquid, no.
- Production of a gas. phenol red and calcium chloride.
- mix it with different liquids.
- No it doesn't. It can show that over time, a substance has lost it's kinetic energy. or in some cases, it may have gained some.
