Use the information below to answer the questions on the bottom of the paper.

A scientist was studying the effects of temperature on the solubility (ability of a substance to dissolve) of various solutes. The scientist used 100 mL of water at different temperatures, and dissolved as much of a particular solute as he could until no more could be dissolved in the solution. The mass of solute that was dissolved at each temperature was recorded. Experiment 1 The scientist was studying the effects of temperature on the solubility of sodium chloride (NaCl). The results are shown on the table below. Table 1 Water Temp (degrees C) 20 40 60 80 100 Experiment 2 The scientist was studying the effects of temperature on the solubility of calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2). The results are shown on the table below. Table 2 Water Temp (degrees C) 20 40 60 80 100 Amount of Ca(OH)2 dissolved (g) 7 14 23 34 50 Amount of NaCl dissolved (g) 5 12 20 31 44

What was the solubility of sodium chloride and calcium hydroxide at 40 degrees respectively? 14 and 12 12 and 14 12 and 20 14 and 34 In each experiment, at what temperature was solubility the highest? 20 degrees 80 degrees 60 degrees 100 degrees What was the solubility of calcium hydroxide and sodium chloride at 80 degrees respectively? 31 and 34 34 and 55 34 and 31 23 and 20 Does the data above support the conclusion that temperature does not affect the solubility of a solute? No; as temperature increased, solubility increased as well. No; as temperature increased, solubility decreased. Yes; the data shows that temperature did not affect solubility at all. Yes; the data is different between the two different solutes. Which of the following conclusions is best supported by the data on table 1 and table 2? Temperature has no effect on the solubility of a solute. Sodium chloride is more soluble at higher temperatures but calcium hydroxide is not affected by temperature.

c. d.

Increasing temperatures will increase the solubility of a solute. NONE OF THE ABOVE
