Soluble or insoluble Purpose: to find out if it is always possible for substances to dissolve. Hypothesis: I think the chance of a solute dissolving depends on the type of solvent. (Ex. Water-pure substance international solvent, soap-already solution). I think that since water is a pure substance, it will be easier for solutes to dissolve in it. The density of the solvent can influence the dissolution process of the solute but perhaps not by much.Materials: 4 clear plastic glasses or cups pen or marker 4 labels measuring cups water vegetable oil salt sugar 4 stirrers sticksProcedure :1. Create a table for your observations similar to the one shown below.Container Solvent Solute ObservationsABCD2. Label the 4 containers (i.e. cups or plastic cups) A, B, C and D.3. Use a measuring cup to pour 5 ml of water into containers A and B.4. Dry the measuring cup, then pour the same amount (5 ml) of vegetable oil into containers C and D.5. Predict whether each of the solutes will dissolve in one, both, or neither of the solvents. Record your predictions in your notebook. 6. Use a measuring cup to add 2ml of salt to containers A and C, then add 2ml of sugar to containers Band D.7. Using separate sticks, mix each mixture and carefully observe the contents of each container to determine if any of each solute has dissolved. Record your observations in the table.8. Once finished, clean up the materials as directed by your teacher and wash your hands thoroughly. Observation:Container Solvent Solute ObservationsA Water Sugar crystals The sugar dissolved in 2 minutes. I was not mixing the solution, the solution was created through the process of diffusion......middle of paper......mixtures are formed when oil is the solvent because oil is made up of non-polar molecules that are not chemically bonded (unlike water). It also does not create homogeneous solutions with salt and sugar because it is too heavy and there are already other attractions of particles already formed, so when salt and sugar are poured into the oil (solvent), the particles are unable to form attractions. In conclusion, I will repeat my hypothesis and say that the solubility of a solute in a solvent all depends on the solvent and the molecules in the solvent. Furthermore, I conclude that substances dissolve in solvents that are already pure with spaces to allow attractions to occur.
