Matt did an experiment to study the solubility of two substances. He poured 100 mL of water at 20 °C into each of two beakers labeled A and B. He put 50 g of Substance A in the beaker labeled A and 50 g of Substance B in the beaker labeled B. The solution in both beakers was stirred for 1 minute. The amount of substance left undissolved in the beakers was weighed. The experiment was repeated for different temperatures of water and the observations were recorded as shown.
Part 1: Which, if any, substance is soluble in water?
Part 2: Explain how the data helped you determine solubility for both substances for temperatures 20 °C to 80 °C. (8 points)
Answers & Comments
Answer:
substance A is not soluble in water since the undissolved mass is 50
Explanation:
In this experiment undissolved mass of each substance was measured. According to the given data, undissolved mass of substance B at 20 °C is 10 g while A is 50 g. Since, the initial added mass of each substance is 50 g, we can see that substance A is not soluble in water since the undissolved mass is 50
