Mixing and Dissolving

Mixing and Dissolving



Aim: To find out how long it will take to make the sugar dissolve.



Method: 

1. 50 mL cold water +1 spatula sugar (Mixed)

2. 50 mL hot water +1 spatula sugar (Stirred)

3. 50 mL hot water +1 spatula sugar (NO Stirring)

4. 50 mL cold water +1 spatula sugar (NO Stirring)

How did this happen?

Because hot water spread the particles around 

Questions: 

What are the ideas from today?

I learnt that if you want to dissolve something in a cup of water, there is a way that can dissolve faster, you put hot water in the cup and stir it around it will dissolve faster if you use cold water.

What factors affect dissolving?

If you don't Stir it, the sugar will dissolve slower than is you stir it, and if you use hot water it will dissolve faster than cold water.


Discussion:

The experiment shows that hot water + stir is the best to dissolve something fast in these 4 groups.

And the experiment shows that cold water + no stir is the slowest dissolving in these 4 groups.
