The Rate of Dissolution IBO Lab

Background:
Understanding factors that affect how quickly a substance dissolves is important to the
manufacturing of medicines, dyes, and processed foods. For example, some kinds of cold relief
remedies are powders that must be mixed with water. Scientists who work for drug companies do
tests to ensure the powder dissolves as quickly as possible. When you add sugar to a drink,
several factors affect how quickly the sugar dissolves. Based on your experience, you probably
have some idea of what these are. But have you ever tested your ideas?
Question:
How does temperature effect how quickly a solute dissolves in a solvent?
Materials:
- 3 beakers
- marker pen
- hot water, room temperature water, cold water
- 1 thermometer
- granulated white sugar
- stop watch
- balance
- weigh boat
Part I (day 1) To be completed for homework before lab
1) Carefully read the experimental questions and available materials above.
2) Using ONLY the materials listed above, plan a controlled procedures to test the experimental
question listed above.
3) Write a hypothesis for the experimental question.
Part II (day 2)- Experiment done with your partners
1) Carry out your planned procedure using the provided materials.
2) Record all necessary observations and data.
Part III (at home)- To be completed individually

Write up a formal lab report on a computer. You will each get an individual mark for the write-up.
Sections to be included are
1) Your full name
2) Your partners names
3) A title for your experiment
4) The purpose of the experiment
5) The variables in the experiment (dependant and independent and controls)
6) Your hypothesis
7) List of materials
8) The procedure
9) A results section including a table AND graph
10) A analysis of your results
11) A conclusion
*** Make sure you explain your results using scientific reasoning. You might need to do some
research online or in textbooks from the library to write this. ***
