Experiment on amount of fat in the common hotdog. Includes a graph and chart, procedures, materials, and conclusion.

Hotdog Lab Report Purpose: The purpose of this experiment is to determine the amount of fat contained in a hotdog. It will be found in the form of a percentage of the total amount of hotdog used. Materials: 1. 10.0 grams of finely chopped hotdog meat 2. 250 mL beaker 3. 17 mL of 1.5M NaOH 4. 5 mL of Distilled Water 5. Graduated Cylinder 6. 400 mL beaker 7. Bunsen Burner 8. Ring Stand 9. Tongs 10. Iron ring 11. Disposable Pipette 12.50 mL beaker 13. Protective goggles 14. Aprons 15. Glass rod 16.Triple-Beam …

…for the cost?' There are several factors may have caused the 6.9 percentage error and 23.9% error in the experiment. One of the most feasible reasons would be improper collection of the fatty layer. Collection of this layer is quite difficult without collecting a small amount of the lower brown layer. Another cause of discrepancy may have been due to inaccurate measuring of beakers or samples, and stirring the mixture after 4 minutes of heating has passed.
