Title: Planning and Designing

Problem Statement: Your mother has a shrivelled carrot that she wants to become turgid (firm)
again. She does not remember if the carrot should be placed in brine or fresh water.

Plan and design an experiment to assist your mother so that she can get to know whether it is
fresh water or bribe that she should use if she wants the carrot to become turgid.

Topic: Solubility
Title: Solubility of salts
Aim: To investigate the effects of increasing
temperature on the solubility of a given salt

Plot a graph of solubility using the information in the table below and use the information
to answer the questions that follow.

TABLE SHOWING MASS OF SALT IN 50cm3 OF WATER DISSOLVED AT DIFFERENT

TEMPERATURES
Questions and analysis:
a. Plot a graph of mass of the unknown salt dissolved against temperatures. 7 marks
b. Account for the shape of the curve. 2marks
c. What is the maximum mass of salt that dissolved? Explain why the mass of the salt
could increase even though the temperature was increasing. 1 mark
d. What is the mass of salt dissolved at 23 degrees Celsius? 1mark
e. At what temperature was 55g of salt dissolved? 1 mark
f. What will the temperature be if 55g of salt is added to 25g? 2 marks
g. What mass of salt dissolved between 25 degrees Celsius and 50 degrees
Celsius?2marks
h. What is the difference in temperature obtained between 35g and 60 g? 2marks

Discussion:

Use the following questions to guide your discussion.

1. Define the term electrolysis.

2. Define ‘inert electrodes’ and give two examples of inert electrodes.
 3. Was the electrolyte used in the experiment strong or weak? Give reasons for your
answer.
4. Write the half equation for the reaction occurring at the cathode.
5. Write the half equation for the reaction occurring at the anode.
