Question

For this question you will be designing an investigation Carefully read the information below and respond to the prompt

Does the temperature of a liquid affect the amount of sugar it will dissolve? In other words, if you change the temperature of a liquid, is there a
relationship between the temperature and how much sugar can dissolve at that specific temperature?
Tell how you would test this question, being as scientific as possible (including the different variables, constants, hypothesis, safety considerations, data
tables, etc.) when you write about your test. Write down the steps you would take to find out if the temperature of a liquid affects the amount of sugar it
can dissolve

Answer 1

See Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Temperature affects the amount of sugar that will be dissolved in a liquid. It is general knowledge in chemistry that solutes tend to dissolve in hot solvents compared to cold solvents.

Hence, there is a positive relationship between dissolution of sugar in a liquid and increase in temperature.

To test this hypothesis, the variables are temperature and amount of solute. The volume of solvent and type of solvent must be held constant.

Different amounts of solute are dissolved in the same volume of solvent and heated to a constant temperature and the extent of dissolution of the sugar is observed for each experimental unit.

A control experiment is also set up in which different amount of sugar is dissolved in the same volume of solvent as above without heating and the results are compared.
