Step 2: Step-by-Step Procedure
Develop and describe the step-by-step procedure you will use to conduct your experiment, including which bulk property you will measure. You should review and revise this section as needed throughout your portfolio lessons.
Step-by-Step Procedure (Add additional space as needed.)
In your procedure, describe the data and the collection methods you will use. Be as detailed as possible.
Fill two separate 500 mL beakers with 250 mL of water each.
Add the 10 grams of sodium chloride to the first beaker and stir until fully dissolved. Note the time taken until no solid remains.
Add the 10 grams of sucrose to the second beaker and stir until dissolved. Again, note the time taken for full dissolution.
Collection Data (Add additional space as needed.)
In this section, explain the data you want to collect and how the data will provide the evidence you want to gather to compare the structure of substances at the bulk scale.

### Step-by-Step Procedure
1. **Preparation:**
- Gather the necessary equipment: two 500 mL beakers, a stirring rod or magnetic stirrer, a scale for measuring mass, a timer or stopwatch, and 500 mL of distilled water.
- Obtain 10 grams each of sodium chloride (NaCl) and sucrose (C12H22O11).
2. **Setup:**
- Fill two separate 500 mL beakers with 250 mL of distilled water each, ensuring that the beakers are clean and free from any contaminants.
- Label the first beaker as "Sodium Chloride Solution" and the second as "Sucrose Solution."
3. **Dissolving Sodium Chloride:**
- Measure 10 grams of sodium chloride using the scale.
- Pour the 10 grams of sodium chloride into the first beaker containing 250 mL of water.
- Begin stirring the solution continuously using the stirring rod or magnetic stirrer.
- Start the timer as soon as the sodium chloride is added.
- Observe and note the time taken until no solid sodium chloride remains visible in the solution, indicating full dissolution.
4. **Dissolving Sucrose:**
- In the second beaker, measure 10 grams of sucrose.
- Pour the 10 grams of sucrose into the second beaker containing 250 mL of water.
- Start stirring the sucrose solution immediately and begin the timer as soon as the sucrose is added.
- Again, observe and record the time taken for the sucrose to completely dissolve, noting when no solid remains.
5. **Observation and Data Recording:**
- Record the time taken for the sodium chloride to dissolve and the time taken for the sucrose to dissolve in a table format.
- Note any observations regarding the clarity of the solutions during and after the dissolution process.
- Take note of any differences in the temperature of the solutions before and after adding the solutes, if applicable.
### Collection Data
- **Data to be Collected:**
1. **Time Taken for Dissolution:**
- Record the duration it takes for the sodium chloride to dissolve completely.
- Record the duration it takes for the sucrose to dissolve completely.
2. **Temperature Measurements:**
- Measure and record the temperature of the water before the addition of the solutes and immediately after full dissolution to observe any changes due to the dissolution process.
3. **Visual Observations:**
- Document aspects such as clarity, color, or any distinctive behaviors noticed during the dissolution process, such as whether there was any noticeable gas release or temperature change perceived by touch.
- **Purpose of Data Collection:**
- The time taken for dissolution reflects the bulk property of solubility, which is influenced by the molecular structure and interactions of the solute with the solvent.
- By comparing the dissolution times of sodium chloride and sucrose, I aim to gather evidence about how the ionic nature of sodium chloride affects its solubility relative to the molecular structure of sucrose.
- The data will provide insight into the mechanism of solvation and the role of intermolecular forces, guiding a deeper understanding of how different substances interact with water at a molecular level within the bulk scale.
- Observing any temperature change will help illustrate the endothermic or exothermic nature of the dissolution process, further contributing to the understanding of thermodynamic properties in solution chemistry.
