Kia ora,
On Monday, we had to check on our plants for both hydroponic and traditional soil planting. After that we write our observations on the two plants, my hydroponic wasn’t really growing and I still haven’t figured out why. Besides that we had to something edible and interesting.
You know when drinks fizz? yes that’s what we’re trying to recreate, the fizz, the sourness and sweetness; like the lollies that pop inside your tongue when its untouched with saliva? we made it like that, but more different. Something like gunpowder and finger dipping.
Firstly we got given a paper on which recipe we wanted to do; either citric acid or baking soda. I chose citric acid because I didn’t really know what baking soda was gonna be? We also had to wrote a hypothesis and get three cups. About the recipe, there was three.
Recipe A: control 1:1 ( same amount of citric acid and baking soda, sweet and sour )
Recipe B: High bass ( more citric acid than baking soda )
Recipe C: High Sugar ( more amount of sugar combined with both citric acid and baking soda )
For my own opinion, recipe C uses e
xtra sugar for sweet, nostalgic candy powder, especially for A. I didn’t really like B because it was sour and tasted a little bitter.
Mixing citric acid and baking soda creates that fizz because it’s an acid-base reaction that releases carbon dioxide when it touches moisture or saliva.
Lastly, It was yum because it tasted like Raro but lime flavored. I’m hoping to recreate it next time when I can. Thank you!
