POLARITY EXPERIMENT
Objective: Explore the relationship between polarity and solubility.
Materials:
• Water • Alcohol • a spoon
• Vinegar • Oil • 6 disposable glasses
Procedure:
1. Obtain 6 clean disposable glasses and prepare the following set-up.
Set-up 1: 1 cup water + 5 tablespoons vinegar
Set-up 2: 1 cup water + 5 tablespoons oil
Set-up 3: 1 cup water + 5 tablespoons alcohol
Set-up 4: 1 cup vinegar + 5 tablespoons oil
Set-up 5: 1 cup vinegar + 5 tablespoons alcohol
Set-up 6: 5 tablespoon oil + 5 tablespoons alcohol
2. Thoroughly stir each mixture and observe carefully.
Note: • Do not forget to wash and dry the spoon after each use.
• Properly label each set-up.
• Samples with oil should first be mixed with dishwashing liquid before disposing
down the sink
Guide Questions:
a. Which of the following set-ups mixed well? Which did not?
Set-ups that mixed well Set-ups that did not mixed well
f. Explain with your own words, what is the relationship between polarity and solubility?
II. Directions: Calculate the electronegativity difference and give the type of bond that exists
between the atoms in each of the following pairs.
