Since you did not actually do this activity, lets review some key points. There were 4 beakers used and the amount of sodium polyacrylate and volume of water put in each beaker is listed in Table 1. The mass of each beaker was then determined and recorded in the column labeled Week 0 of Table 2. The beakers were then set on a shelf in the laboratory room. One week later, the mass of each beaker was again determined. This result is recorded in Week 1 column of Table 2. This continued until the data was collected for Week 4. Table 1: Initial mass of sodium polyacrylate and volume of water Beaker Mass of sodium polyacrylate Volume of water Beaker 1 0.25 g 40.0 mL Beaker 2 0.25 g 25.0 mL Beaker 3 0.15 g 40.0 mL Beaker 4 0.15 g 25.0 mL Table 2: Mass and date for the sodium polyacrylate mixtures Date Week 0 Week 1 Week 2 Week 3 Beaker 1 68.84 g 55.06 g 42.01 g 29.57 g mass Beaker 2 50.99 g 39.08 g 27.39 g 26.78 g mass Beaker 3 70.92 g 54.88 g 42.29 g 31.67 g mass Beaker 4 54.42 g 42.25 g 30.92 g 30.09 g mass Week 4 28.06 g 26.77 g 31.42 g 30.08 g

1. Which beaker lost the most mass during the first week? (1 pt) 2. Which beaker lost the most mass going from Week 3 to Week 4? (1 pt) 3. For the next part of the lab you will need a piece of graph paper. You may use your own or use the link below. (You may need to right click on the link to open the link.) If you use the link below, I recommend using the inch paper. You may also use programs such as Excel if you wish, but I cannot answer questions about using Excel. https://www.waterproofpaper.com/graph-p ... aper.shtml Graph the data in Table 2: mass vs day for each beaker. Day should be along the x axis and you need to use day. not week as a unit. Day zero is the day we started taking the mass measurements. I want all four beakers graphed on the same piece of graph paper and the same scale. This means you will have one graph with four lines on it. If doing this by hand to using four different colored pens/pencils or use a closed dot for one beaker, a small triangle for another and so on will help you keep track of the data. Use good graphing techniques-label, titles, appropriate use of space. You need to draw the best fit "line" for " your data points. Do not play connect the dots! This best fit "line" may or may not be a straight line, it might be curved, if the data points indicate a curve line, then draw a curve line. You will have four lines on the graph paper when you are done. You will need to attach this graph to your report. Points for this section: 1 pt for title 1 pt for label on axis 1 pt for appropriate use of space. 1 pt for graphing four beakers on one sheet 4. Using your graph you created in number 3 answer the following questions a.) What is the mass of Beaker 1 on day 10? (1 pt) Yes I know you did not measure the beaker on day 10 but you have a graph that can give you that information. b) What is the mass of Beaker 2 on day 17? (1 pts) c.) Describe how you determined the answer to question 4b). One or two sentences should be enough to answer the question. (1 pt) 5. You need to attach your graph to your report (1 pt). Fa
