Because if they are submerged in the solvent, they would dissolve! This would prevent them from seperating and not allow you to actually record anything
Citric acid has the molecular formula C6H8O7 so you can add the molar masses of the elements from the periodic table. C has a molar mass of 12.01 g/mol, H has 1.01 g/mol and O has 15.999 g/mol. Now you calculate the total molar mass= (6*12.01 + 8*1.01 + 7*15.999). This yields a molar weight of 192.124 g/mol (anhydrous)

Compounds are two combined elements.</span>
In order to become a scientific theory the three
categories that it must pass are the following:
1) Can the phenomena be recreated in a laboratory setting?
2) Can variables be changed, yet still result in like observations?
3) Is the phenomena truly natural or was it the result of a man-made force
enacting upon it?
