In my hypothesis, I said If we used cotton balls, a sponge, dish soap, and vinegar mixed with baking soda solution, then the sponge will absorb the oil the best with almost 70% absorption and the dish soap will contain the oil the best with about 60% containment. I was half right. The sponge can absorb the most with 50% and the best the contain is dish soap with 35%. The cotton was is close to sponge with 30% but dish soap and vinegar cannot absorb. Cotton can contain 10% and the sponge can contain15% which is good .
In this experiment 1st:we pour the water in the bucket then pour the oil. At first the oil didn't gather together but later on it come in many groups on the water. WE tast all the things all separate for the ability to contain and absorb the oil from the water. My dependent variables were the percentage of contain and absorb oil in water.
When we pour the dish soap first all the oil group together and contain 35% of oil. It didn't absorb anything because it is a liquid. Next we pour in the baking soda and vinegar. Almost nothing happen but it contain 5%of oil. After we did the cotton ball it absorb some oil and water it contain 10% and it absorb 30% oil from the water.The last thing we did test the sponge it work a lot to, it absorb 50% and contain 15%. In total everything was able to contain 65% of the oil and absorb 80%.
