Thabo wishes to investigate whether sugar will dissolve faster in hot water or in cold water. He adds 1 teaspoon of sugar in a 250 ml glass of cold tap water and 1 teaspoon of sugar in a 250 ml glass of boiling water from the kettle. He stirs both glasses the same way and observes the solutions after 1 minute.

A possible hypothesis for his experiment would be...

• The aim of this experiment is to determine whether temperature affects the rate at which sugar will dissolve in water.

• Will sugar dissolve faster in cold water or hot water?

• Sugar will dissolve faster in hot water.

• Sugar dissolves faster in water if you stir the solution.
