Making Sherbet

 Making Sherbet


Aim: 

I want to find out how to make Sherbet, and what I need.


Research:


It shows me one method of making sherbet and the chemistry in sherbet.


Method:


Equipment:

  • Cup or any bowl
  • Baking powder
  • Citric acid
  • Sugar ( Raro)
  • stirring rod (Popsicle stick)
  • Teaspoon

Instruction:

  1. Get your equipment
  2. add a teaspoon of sugar into cup
  3. add half a teaspoon of baking powder into cup
  4. add half a teaspoon of citric acid into cup
  5. Mix together with stirring rod 
  6. taste the sherbet mixure 
  7.  Adjust the flavor if needed to 

Results:

It foamed up inside my mouth because the sherbet reacted to the moisture in my mouth and foamed up. I add alot of citric acid so it was super sour. After I added some more citric acid the sherbet didn't foam that much so I added another half teaspoon of baking powder and I started to foam alot more than before, Because I evened out the citric acid and baking soda.

The Chemical word equation is:

Citric acid + Sodium bicarbonate --} Carbon dioxide

C6H8O7 + NaHCO3 --} CO2
