Question
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.
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.
Part 2: Data and Error
Using the procedure in Part 1, you will now conduct your investigation to gather evidence to compare the structure of your substances at the bulk scale to infer the strength of electrical forces between particles. You will include your data and observations. You can repeat your investigation as many times as you like but remember to record all the data.
Remember the rules for the scientific method as you conduct your investigation. Keep the following questions in mind as you conduct your investigation, collect data, and make observations:
• Is the data gathered accurately and reliability? Can you explain this?
• Is the data detailed and correctly labeled?
• Is there information you observed but couldn’t quantify (i.e., qualitative vs. quantitative)? If so, did you document it and can you explain it?
Step 1: Record Your Data
Record or document all measurements, observations, and data for each trial for your investigation. The type of representation (table, graph, etc.) is up to you, but you want to ensure your data is accurately represented. Note: If you use something other than this worksheet, you will insert your data here.
Step 2: Document Errors
As you conduct your investigation, remember to document your errors. In this section, you will document these errors and provide details on if or how you corrected them.
Systematic or Human Error
Describe and include a list of any systematic or human errors that you identified and how you attempted to correct them. (Add additional space as needed.)
Other Sources of Error
List and describe other sources of error in your data, including random errors, that you were unable to correct for. (Add additional space as needed.)

## Step-by-Step Procedure
### Materials Needed:
- Two 500 mL beakers
- Distilled water
- Sodium chloride (NaCl) - 10 grams
- Sucrose (C12H22O11) - 10 grams
- Stirring rod
- Stopwatch or timer
- Thermometer (optional, to ensure consistent temperature)
- Scale (for precise measurement of solutes)
### Procedure:
1. **Preparation of Beakers**:
- Fill each of the two 500 mL beakers with 250 mL of distilled water. It is important to ensure that the water is at the same temperature for both beakers to maintain consistency in your results. If desired, measure and record the temperature with a thermometer.
2. **Dissolution of Sodium Chloride**:
- Measure 10 grams of sodium chloride. Use the scale to ensure accurate measurement.
- Pour the 10 grams of sodium chloride into the first beaker containing water.
- Begin stirring the solution with a stirring rod.
- Start the stopwatch as soon as the sodium chloride is added to the water.
- Continue stirring until all solid sodium chloride is dissolved. Continue to stir until no solid is visible. Note the time taken for full dissolution.
3. **Dissolution of Sucrose**:
- Measure 10 grams of sucrose and pour it into the second beaker containing water.
- Begin stirring the solution with a stirring rod and start the stopwatch simultaneously.
- Continue stirring until all sucrose is dissolved. Note the time taken for full dissolution as well.
4. **Recording Data**:
- After both trials, document the dissolution times for sodium chloride and sucrose in a table format. Also, note any observable differences in the appearance of the solutions during the dissolution process (e.g., clarity, color, etc.).
### Collection Data:
- **Dissolution Time Data**:
- Record the time taken for the sodium chloride solution to fully dissolve: _____ seconds.
- Record the time taken for the sucrose solution to fully dissolve: _____ seconds.
- **Observational Data**:
- Sodium Chloride:
- Maximum stirring speed: Maintain moderate stirring speed. Document any observations of clumping or recrystallization during dissolution.
- Sucrose:
- Maximum stirring speed: Document the rate of disappearance of solid and any visual aspects (like the density of the solution).
By comparing the times recorded for sodium chloride and sucrose, we provide quantitative evidence of solubility. The difference in dissolution times will indicate the strength of the ionic bonds in Sodium Chloride relative to the hydrogen bonds in sucrose.
## Step 2: Document Errors
### Systematic or Human Error:
- **Potential Errors**:
- Timer inaccuracies: If the timer started or stopped late, it could skew results. To mitigate this, ensure that the timer is started at the exact moment the solute is added.
- Mixing inconsistencies: Using the same stirring technique and speed for both solutions is important. Try to keep the stirring speed consistent to avoid variation in dissolution rates caused by stirring.
### Other Sources of Error:
- **Random Errors**:
- Temperature fluctuations: If the temperature of the water changes during the experiment, it could affect solubility rates. Ensure all trials are conducted at room temperature or monitor water temperature closely.
- Variations in solid particle size: If the sodium chloride or sucrose crystals vary in size, this may affect dissolution times. Aim for a consistent grain size or use powdered forms.
- Visual assessment: Judging complete dissolution can sometimes be subjective. To enhance accuracy, determine the dissolution end point using a visual method or include a secondary person to help confirm observations.
