SAMPLE TASK REPORT

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

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

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

fine salt, glass rod, measuring cylinder.

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.
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:

7.1 (i) 200 ml of water in Beaker C dissolves salt the fastest because
it has the largest volume of water

(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:

+
SOLUTE SOLVENT

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

7.4 (i) Rate of dissolving salt is the time taken to dissolve all (10 g) salt
completely in water
(i) Varies with / depends on volume of water
(ii) reading of stop watch

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

7.6 Based on the graph, the time taken to dissolve salt in 150 ml of
water is 50 seconds

8.0 CONCLUSION :

8.1 Time taken to dissolve salt depends on the volume of water /
