Dissolving Experiemt

Aim: See if salt or baking soda dissolves more. 

Hypothesis: I think that salt will dissolve faster than baking soda because Ionic mixtures dissolve faster in water because their relationship is much stronger.

Equipment: A 200 ml becker, 100 ml measuring cylinder salt, baking soda, a string rod, a teaspoon, and a ruler.

Method:
1. Fill the beaker with 1oo ml of topwater.
2. Add a level teaspoon of baking soda. A level teaspoon is obtained by running your ruler across the edge of the teaspoon.
3. Stir the solution until all of the baking soda has dissolved.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until no more baking soda will dissolve into the solution.
5. Record how many teaspoons of baking soda was added.
6.  Repeat the experiment, with table salt.

Result: 


SoluteA number of teaspoons that dissolve in 100 ml of water.
Baking soda1 giant teaspoon
Table saltA level teaspoon 


Discussion:
When we were mixing the Baking soda we suddenly notice that it was not dissolving, we've done something wrong, we put I giant tablespoon in but we have to measure the baking soda with a ruler that why when we were mixing it was taking too long. The second experiment that we did was mixing a table salt, the table salt experiment was better than the last experiment that we did. Because now we actually measure the right amount for it, so when we mixed it the table salt it dissolves faster than the baking soda.

Conclusion: 
My hypothesis was right, I knew that the salt will dissolve faster because the faster you stir the faster it will dissolve the particles.

  1. that looks like a fun experiment. Is it easier to dissolve a lump or powdered salt?
