Table 6.1).
Based on the data collected, also draw a line graph to show
the effect of different volumes of water on the time taken to
dissolve salt.

• C3– Measuring and using numbers. (table showing

correct
measurement and units.)

• C1– Observation: Answer the following questions.

1. From your observation, can salt grains still be seen
after all salt is completely dissolved in water?
2. Which volume of water dissolves the salt:
(i) first
(ii) last

7. Discussion and analysis: Answer the questions given.

• C8 Based on the experimental data.
1. Which volume of water dissolves the salt :
(i) the fastest
(ii) the slowest
(iii) Give reason for each answer.
2. Salt dissolves in water. What is the solute and solvent.
Complete the word equation to represent the formation of salt
solution.

SOLUTE SOLVENT

• C11:
3. State the relationship between the volume of water and the time
taken to dissolve salt in water.
• C9:
4. Based on Table 6.1, define operationally the “rate of dissolving
salt”

5. Based on table of results, what will happen to the time taken to

dissolve salt when more than 200 ml of water is used?
• C5:
6. Based on the graph, predict the time taken to dissolve salt if
150 ml of water is used.

8. Conclusion:
• 1. What can be said about the time taken to dissolve
salt and the
volume of water.

SAMPLE TASK REPORT [Teacher Manual]

1.0 LEARNING OBJECTIVE : 5.4 SOLUTION AND SOLUBILITY

2.0 AIM : To study the effect of different volumes of water on the rate of dissolving
salt.

3.0 VARIABLES : a) Manipulated : Volume of water √ C10:3

b) Responding : Time taken to dissolve the salt
c) Fixed/Constant : Mass of salt/ temperature of water/
rate of stirring/ type of salt 10 a,b

4.0 APPARATUS/MATERIALS : Beam balance, stopwatch, 3 beakers (250 ml),

fine salt, glass rod, measuring cylinder.
10c
5.0 PROCEDURE :
1) Beaker A is filled with 50 ml of water, beaker B is filled with 100 ml of water
and beaker C is filled with 200 ml of water. 3d
2) Water is at room temperature.
3) 10 g of salt is weighed with a beam balance and added to each beaker.
4) The solution in each beaker is stirred at the same rate until all the salt
dissolved completely.
5) Time taken for salt to dissolve is recorded for each beaker.

7.0 DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS: 8c √ C8:3

7.1 (i) 200 ml of water in Beaker C dissolves salt the fastest because
it has the largest volume of water
8d
(ii) 50 ml of water in Beaker A dissolves salt the slowest because it
It has the lowest volume of water.

7.2 Salt dissolves in water to form salt solution. In word equation:

SALT + WATER SALT SOLUTION

mv rv 8c √ C11:3
7.3 The larger the volume of water, the less time taken to dissolve salt /
As the volume of water increases, the time taken to dissolve salt decreases

9b
7.4 (i) Rate of dissolving salt is the time taken to dissolve (10 g) salt
completely in water at a given temperature 9a
(ii) Varies with / depends on volume of water √ C9:3
(iii) reading of stop watch 9b

7.5 If more than 200 ml of water is used, the time taken to dissolve salt
will be less than 45 seconds/ will decrease/ shorter 4c

7.6 Based on the graph, the time taken to dissolve salt in 150 ml of
water is 50 seconds 5 d,c √ C5:3

8.0 CONCLUSION : 8c
8.1 Time taken to dissolve salt depends on the volume of water /
Time taken to dissolve salt is affected by the volume of water
