Hello my wonderful students!!! Listen closely...are you listening??? This is your science teacher Ms. Yates. I know, I know. I just saw you a few hours ago. Remember the awesome reminders, updates, and fantasticness that I promised you?? It is here. Yep!! Right here. Remember to check it out daily. The rewards will be worth your time. Assignments that you forgot about or were absent for? Here!! Notes you may have missed?? Here too!!! Announcements?? Yep!! And, fantastic reminders of all the cool stuff we did today...All here and more!! See you tomorrow. Or Monday, if you are so awesome that you are reading this over the weekend.

Saturated Salt Solution

How many grams of salt did it take to saturate 50ml of water?  What does saturated mean?  What did we use as a solute?  Do you think the water could hold more salt if the water was heated or cooled?

  1. It took 25 grams of salt to saturate 50 ml of water. Saturated means "full of". We used salt as the solute in this experiment. I think the water could hold more salt if it was heated because I think the salt crystals would melt and dissolve in the water from the heat.

    It took 25 grams of salt ( 5 spoons) to saturate the 50 mL of water. Saturated means to add until it stops dissolving, that the water can't hold anymore. We used salt as a solute. I don't think the water could hold more salt even if it was heated or cooled because it's still the same volume of salt.

  3. For my group it was 60 grams of salt. Saturated means something that has too much solute that it can't dissolve anything anymore.We used salt as our solute. No, I don't think I can put more or less water if I heated or froze the water because it is JUST lowering or heating the temperature.

  4. It took 25 grams of salt to make the water saturated. Saturated means that if you put solute in a solvent and kept on putting more and more solute in the solvent, it will soon stop dissolving in the solvent. We used salt as our solute. I think that if the water was cooled or heated, the water would be able to hold more salt. I think this because the if the water was cooled it would be able to hold more because it isn't dissolving as fast. But if we were to use heated water, the salt would most likely dissolve faster.

  5. For me, it took 20 grams of salt to make 50 millimeters of water saturated. Saturated means that if you and too much solute, it will stop dissolving. We used salt as a solute. The solvent would hold more if it was warm.

  6. It took our table group 25 grams of salt (5 spoons of salt) to make the solution completely saturated! Saturated means that you can't put anything into water without it dissolving. So for our science investigation it took us 25 grams of salt for the salt to stop dissolving in the water. In the investigation we did, the salt was considered the solute. I think that if you heated up the water for our investigation it would hold more of the salt crystals faster because some of the crystals not only dissolve but also they might melt in the heated water!

  7. It took us 5 grams to saturate the 50 ml of water. Saturated is when an object can't take any more of anything. As a solute, we used salt. The water would hold more salt if it was heated because the salt crystals would melt right into the heated water and the water would be able to hold more. If you cooled the water, the salt crystals would stay crystals and would not dissolve into the water as it would if you heated it.

  8. It took us 25 grams of salt to saturate our 50 ml of water. Saturated means that a solution cannot take any more solute and still dissolve it all. As our solute we used kosher salt or table salt. The water would have held more grams of salt if the water was heated because then if we added more it would become super-saturated because of the warmth.

  9. In my group it took us 5 1/2 spoons to fully saturate the 50 ml of water. Saturate means that it can take any more of something. The solute in this experiment was salt because water dissolved the in the 50 ml of water. I think warm water would because it may dissolved by the hot water.

  10. I used 25 grams of salt to saturate 50ml of water. Saturated means that something can't take anymore of something else. We used salt as a solute. I think the water will hold more while warm because it will melt the salt.

  11. In our group, it took about 25 grams of salt to saturate the 50 mL of water. Saturated means that the solvent won't dissolve any more solute. The solute would just sink in the water. In this science lab, our solute was salt. I think the water would hold more salt if the water is heated because the volume would increase. If we cool it, the water will not increase or decrease volume so the water would just be able to hold the same amount of salt.

    1. The water held 25 grams of salt in it. Saturated is when there is more solute than solvent. We used salt as our solute. The water would have held more salt if it was heated.

  12. It took our group about 25 grams of salt to saturate the 50ml of water. Saturated means the solvent cant hold or dissolve any more of the solute, salt in this case. So the solute would either float around or skink after attempting to dissolve it. I think that the amount of salt 50ml of salt could hold would be much more. However, once it cools like in rock candy it cant hold the same amount of salt

  13. It took 60 grams of salt for my group. Saturated means a solution that has too much solute and it doesn't dissolve. As a solute, we used a cup of salt. I agree with Sadhita. It is just the temperature that is changing so it doen't really matter.

  14. It took 25 grams of salt water to saturate the 50ml of water. Saturated means solvent can not dissolve anymore solute. I think if the water was heated it could hold more salt because the water would expand.

  15. For my group, it took 5 1/2 spoons which was 27.5 grams to saturate 50 ml of water.To be saturated means that that the solvent cannot dissolve anymore solute. I think the solution would dissolve more salt if it were heated because when I did my science project, the warmer temperature dissolved the fastest. This could also go along the lines of being able to saturate with more grams of salt.

  16. I took 5 1/4 cups of salt to saturate the water. Saturated means holding as much water or moisture as can be absorbed.The solute was salt. I think if the water was heated it would hold more salt because the salt would melt along with dissolving with heat and water.

  17. For my group it took 22 and a half grams of water to saturate 50 ml of water. Saturation is what happens when a solvent can't absorb any more solute. The solute was salt. I think if the solution was heated more salt could be dissolved into the water.

  18. According to my group it takes 25 grams or 5 spoonfuls of salt to saturate (not allow a solvent to dissolve any more solute) 50 milliliters of water. If the water was cooled, it would become supersaturated. If the solution was heated, it would be able to dissolve more solute.
