A student carries out an inquiry involving the dissolution of sugar in water at different temperatures. The student prepares four cups, each containing 100 mL of water that has been heated to distinct temperatures. Subsequently, she adds 10 grams of granulated sugar to each cup. After allowing time for the sugar to dissolve, she notes the duration it takes for dissolution in each cup. The image presents her findings.

Question

Which conclusion can be drawn from the results?

Responses

The lower the temperature of the water, the quicker the solute will dissolve.
The lower the temperature of the water, the quicker the solute will dissolve.

The increased amount of solute added to the water will lead to a lengthier duration for the solute to dissolve.

The less solute that is added to the water, the longer it will take the solute to dissolve.
The less solute that is added to the water, the longer it will take the solute to dissolve.

The higher the water temperature, the faster the solute will dissolve.

Answer 1

The correct conclusion that can be drawn from the results is:

The higher the water temperature, the faster the solute will dissolve.

This conclusion is consistent with the general principle that increasing the temperature of a solvent typically increases the solubility and rate of dissolution of a solute.
