1. Solubility Lab

2. Question
How does changing the temperature of the solvent effect the solubility of the solute in water?

3. Background questions
What effects do solutes have on a solvent’s freezing point and boiling points?
Why is the temperature needed to freeze ocean water lower than the temperature needed to freeze the surface of a freshwater lake?
What is solubility?
How can solubility help you identify a substance?
 List three factors that affect solubility?
When you heat water and add sugar, all of the sugar dissolves. When you cool the solution, some sugar comes out of the solution. Explain.
