Kym has set up an experiment with four beakers, each filled with 100 mL of water at four different temperatures. She plans to time how long it takes for 1 tsp of sugar to dissolve at each temperature. To determine if there is a trend, she will add the sugar to each beaker of water without stirring, wait for it to dissolve, then plot her results on a graph. Which of the following graphs would most likely show the results of Kym’s experiment?
Destiny is making a nutrient solution to use in her garden. She has to dissolve 1 cup of plant feed powder in 2 L of water. First, she places the powder in a watering can. Then she adds the water. Which of the following actions would most likely dissolve the powder the fastest?
shaking the watering can vigorously
stirring the solution in the watering can slowly
tilting the watering can carefully from side to side
setting the watering can down and leaving it alone
DeShawn is getting a new fish tank ready for the fish he plans to buy. He has to dissolve salt crystals in the water. What would be the best thing to do to help the crystals dissolve quickly?
heat the salt crystals
crush the salt crystals
cool the water in the tank
use the largest salt crystals
Salim is studying how the rate of stirring affects the time it takes for salt to dissolve. He added 1 g of salt to each of four beakers filled with water, stirred the water at different speeds, and recorded how long it took for all the salt to dissolve each time. Salim’s results are shown in the following table.
Which conclusion could Salim draw based on his results?
Salt will not dissolve in water unless the water is stirred.
Stirring a solution of water increases the rate at which a salt dissolves.
Stirring a solution of water decreases the rate at which a salt dissolves.
Stirring a solution of water has no effect on the rate at which a salt dissolves.
Four students are dissolving sugar in water to perform an experiment. Each student dissolved 1 tsp of sugar in 1 cup of hot water and stirred the water a different number of times. The students recorded how long it took for the sugar to dissolve in each cup. The results are shown in the following table.
Which of the following happened as the number of stirs increased?
The speed of dissolving increased.
The speed of dissolving decreased.
The amount of sugar dissolved increased.
The amount of sugar dissolved decreased.
Mrs. Lopez is a chemist who is studying salt crystals. She wants to slow the rate at which the crystals dissolve in a solution of water. What could she do to slow the dissolving rate?
Crush the salt.
Stir the solution.
Heat the solution.
Cool the solution.
In a science experiment, Kayo added 1 tbsp of sugar to a flask filled with water. The diagram below shows how Kayo’s experiment looked.
Which could Kayo do to speed up the dissolving process?
Add more sugar to the flask.
Place the flask in an ice bath.
Shake the flask back and forth.
Remove some water from the flask.
A group of students are studying how substances dissolve in water. Each student adds a 1-gram sample of material to 100 mL of water and stirs the liquid for 1 min. The table shows the substance each student tested.
Which student would have a clear solution with all the material dissolved?
Imad
Leah
Shakia
Trevor
A solution is formed when one substance is dissolved in another. Mae has a solution in which water is the solvent. Which of these could be the solute?
oil
pebbles
sand
sugar
Gabrielle created a solution using a solute and a solvent. Which best describes a solution?
a chemical change
a chemical reaction
any combination of two or more liquids
an evenly distributed mixture of two or more substances
Andrea created a solution by adding food coloring to water. Her solution is also a mixture. Which of these is true of all solutions?
They are all liquids.
They all include water.
The parts of all solutions are evenly mixed.
The substances are always permanently combined.
