III. Procedure
A.
1. Weigh 1gram of iodized salt and 1 gram of table salt.
2. Drop each in two separate test tubes with 10 mL water.
3. Shake the test tube and observe by taking the dissolving time of solution.
4. Compare the depth of the color of each test tube.
1 g of iodized salt 1 g of table salt

10 mL water 10 mL water

B.
1. In three separate test tubes, put 5 mL each tap water, kerosene, and ethyl alcohol.
2. Add 1 mL oil into each test tube. Shake and take note of the dissolving time for each test tube.
3. Measure the dissolving time using a stopwatch. Compare the dissolving time.
1 mL oil 1 mL oil 1 mL oil

5 mL H2O 5 mL kerosene 5 mL ethyl alcohol

C.
1. Add 1 gram of common table salt in each test tube containing 10 mL of hot water and 1 gram of salt
in cold water.
2. Record the time when the substance dissolves or melts.

D.
1. Spread equal amounts of powdered juice about 1 gram at the bottom of two beakers.
2. Slowly add 40 mL of tap water to each beaker.
3. Stir the contents of one beaker. Let the other one stand undisturbed.
4. Measure the dissolving time, then compare.

2. Look for the right solvent of a given solute.

II. Materials
30 mL kerosene stirring rod
50 mL water ballpen cover or spatula
1 mL ethanol medicine dropper
1 mL coconut oil 13 test tubes or penicillin vials
¼ tsp table salt test tube rack
¼ tsp sugar
½ piece of mothball or naphthalene ball

III. Procedure
1. Pulverize each of the solid samples separately (table salt, naphthalene ball, sodium hydroxide
pellets).
2. Place 3 mL of water into 7 test tubes or penicillin vials.
3. Add a pinch of a solid sample using a ballpen cover (mothball, table salt, sugar, NaOH) to each of
the first four test tubes containing 3 mL water.
4. Add five drops of liquid samples (kerosene, ethanol, coconut oil) in the next three test tubes or
vials with 3 mL water.
5. Stir the mixture. Observe what happens.
