Do all substances dissolve in water? Kids explore the varying levels of solubility of common household substances in this fun-filled experiment!
Materials Needed:
4 clear, glass jars filled with plain tap water
Flour
Salt
Talcum or baby powder
Granulated sugar
Stirrer
Step 1: Help your child form a big question before starting the experiment.
Step 2: Make a hypothesis for each substance. Perhaps the salt will dissolve because your child has watched you dissolve salt or sugar in water when cooking. Maybe the baby powder will not dissolve because of its powdery texture. Help your child write down his or her predictions.
Step 3: Scoop a teaspoon of each substance in the jars, only adding one substance per jar. Stir it up!
Step 4: Observe whether or not each substance dissolves and record the findings!
Your child will likely note that that sugar and salt dissolve, while the flour will partially dissolve, and the baby powder will remain intact. The grainy crystals of the sugar and salt are easily dissolved in water, but the dry, powdery substances are likely to clump up or remain at the bottom of the jar.
As you can see, the scientific method is easy to work into your child’s scientific experiments. Not only does it increase your child’s scientific learning and critical thinking skills, but it sparks curiosity and motivates kids as they learn to ask questions and prove their ideas! Get started today with the above ideas, and bring the scientific method home to your child during your next exciting science experiment
Molecule, a group of two or more atoms that form the smallest identifiable unit into which a pure substance can be divided and still retain the composition and chemical properties of that substance.
While Atoms are single neutral particles,
Molecules are neutral particles made of two or more atoms bonded together.
Exaplmes for molecules
H2O (water)
N2 (nitrogen)
O3 (ozone)
CaO (calcium oxide)
C6H12O6 (glucose, a type of sugar)
NaCl (table salt
And examples for atoms
Neon (Ne)
Hydrogen (H)
Argon (Ar)
Iron (Fe)
Calcium (Ca)
Deuterium, an isotope of hydrogen that has one proton and one neutron.
Plutonium (Pu)
F-, a fluorine anion.
Oil is sucked up through wide floating heads and pumped into storage tanks. Although suction skimmers are generally very efficient, one disadvantage is that they are vulnerable to becoming clogged by debris and ice and require constant skilled observation.
Answer:0.45L
Explanation:
molarity=0.15M
Mass=5g
No of moles=mass ➗ molecular mass
Molecular mass of KCL=39.0983x1+35.453x1
Molecular mass of KCL=74.5513
No of moles=5 ➗ 74.5513
No of moles=0.067
Volume in liters=No of moles ➗ molarity
Volume in liters=0.067 ➗ 0.15
Volume in liters=0.45L
