The Marshmallow Lab Report-2

The document summarizes an experiment that measured the temperature decrease over time of hot chocolate both with and without marshmallows. It found that hot chocolate with marshmallows decreased 10°C in the first minute and 5°C in the next 4 minutes, while hot chocolate without marshmallows decreased 9°C and 7°C respectively. The conclusion is that the presence of marshmallows causes hot chocolate to lose temperature faster over the same period of time.

Discussion

The results of the experiments show that the temperature of the hot chocolate with
marshmallow drops from 60°C at the moment of 1 minute to 50°C at the instant of 5
minutes.
It means the temperature of the hot chocolate with marshmallow decreases by 10°C
in 4 minutes.

The experiment results also show that the temperature of the hot chocolate without
marshmallow reduces from 55°C at the moment of 1 minute to 46°C at the instant of
5 minutes.
It indicates that the temperature of the hot chocolate without marshmallow
decreases by 9°C in 4 minutes.

The results clearly suggest that in the same time period of 4 minutes, the hot
chocolate with marshmallow has a greater decrease in temperature than the hot
chocolate without marshmallow.
Conclusion

According to the results of the experiment, the hypothesis that the cup of hot
chocolate without marshmallows will have a greater temperature decrease is
wrong.

Actually, the hot chocolate with marshmallow has a greater temperature decrease
than the hot chocolate without marshmallow in the same length of time.

The marshmallows in the hot chocolate leads to faster temperature decrease.
