Solubility and Solubility Testing Concepts

The video tutorial explores the solubility of four different white powders: sugar, salt, sand, and magnesium carbonate. The teacher demonstrates how to test solubility by dissolving each powder in water, stirring, and allowing time for dissolution. Sugar and salt are found to be soluble, while sand and magnesium carbonate are insoluble. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of patience in observing solubility and concludes with a summary of the findings.

What is the main question posed at the beginning of the experiment?

• How to identify different white powders?

• Which substances are soluble in water?

• What is the chemical composition of the powders?

• How to measure the density of the powders?

What does it mean for a substance to be soluble?

• It floats on water.

• It dissolves in water.

• It changes color in water.

• It can be seen in water.

What is the first step in testing the solubility of a substance?

• Freezing the substance.

• Mixing it with oil.

• Placing it in water.

• Heating the substance.

Why is stirring important in the solubility experiment?

• It changes the color of the solution.

• It speeds up the dissolving process.

• It makes the solution colder.

• It separates the substances.

What is the purpose of letting the solutions sit for a while during the experiment?

• To allow the substances to change color

• To evaporate the water

• To ensure complete dissolution

• To cool down the solutions

Which two substances were found to be soluble in the experiment?

• Salt and sand

• Sand and sugar

• Magnesium carbonate and sand

• Sugar and salt

What happens to sand in the solubility test?

• It remains at the bottom.

• It changes color.

• It floats on the surface.

• It dissolves completely.

What is the behavior of magnesium carbonate in water?

• It remains suspended temporarily.

• It dissolves quickly.

• It changes color.

• It forms a gel.

What is the key takeaway from the solubility experiment?

• Solubility is not affected by stirring.

• All substances dissolve in water.

• Only colored substances are soluble.

• Solubility can be tested by observing dissolution in water.

Which of the following is NOT a factor in determining solubility?

• Color of the substance

• Type of liquid used

• Stirring the solution

• Time allowed for dissolving
