Question

Students were asked to place a mint in their mouths and determine how long it took for the mint to dissolve. The condition of the mint varied in each student group. One group of students were asked to leave a whole mint in their mouth, not moving it around, and let it dissolve. Another group swirled a mint, while the other groups used mints broken into smaller pieces. See the chart for all of the manipulated variable.

Answer 2

The time is likely between 40-80 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

By swirling the mint, this is agitating and creating a higher frequency of collisions between the saliva particles and mint particles, increasing the rate of dissolution. Therefore, the time is likely to be less than the mint cut in half but probably more than the mint when it is in small pieces.
