If I keep adding sugar to the juice, will the sugar keep dissolving forever?

• YES

• NO

​A saturated solution is one in which no more solute will dissolve.

Outline what is meant by a saturated solution.

​The steps to make a crystal are:

1. Heat the water and keep adding solute ​until the solution is saturated

2. Add a piece of string to the saturated solution

3. After one week, you​ should see a crystal start to grow on the string.

​Temperature and Solubility

​1) Outline how the solubility of copper sulfate changes with temperature

- As the temperature increases, the solubility of copper sulfate increases

​

2) Outline how the solubility of potassium chloride changes with temperature

- As the temperature increases, the solubility of potassium chloride increases

​

3) Outline how the solubility of sodium chloride changes with temperature​

- As the temperature stays the same, the solubility of sodium chloride stays the same

​

4) Outline how you could dissolve more potassium chloride and copper sulfate in water

- To dissolve more potassium chloride and copper sulfate in water, increase the temperature​
