John is testing the effect of temperature on the solubility of sugar in water.
He plans to determine the mass of sugar dissolved in a saturated solution.
He will begin with a known mass of sugar and add sugar to water until the
solution is saturated. He will then calculate how much sugar dissolved by
subtracting the remaining mass from the initial mass.
He organized data about his experiment in the following table:
Volume of water
Temperature
Initial mass of
sugar
Final mass of
sugar
Group A
75 mL
25°C
1000 g
Group B
90°C
Group C
5°C
Which of the following would be the best volume of water to use in Group C?
A. 25 mL
B. 270 mL
C. 140 mL
D. 75 mL
