Activity 1

This activity explores the properties of solutions by having students predict which samples will dissolve in water and then observing the results. Students are given samples of sugar, salt, mango seeds, powdered juice, cooking oil, and vinegar and add each to a cup of water. They observe whether each forms a homogeneous mixture with one or two phases and identify the solute and solvent in each. Solutions are identified as mixtures that are homogeneous, with sugar and salt dissolving uniformly in water to form clear, single-phase solutions while mango seeds and cooking oil remain as distinct phases mixed with water.

Activity 1: What are the properties of Solution?

When you finished this activity, you should be able to:

1. Compare the evidence gathered with the predictions you made; and
2. Describe the properties of solution based on observation
Materials Needed:

 6 cups water
 6 pieces, spoon
 Either of the following cheeseclothe (kalsa), old white t-shirt or filter paper
 2 table spoon each of the following: sugar, salt, mongo seeds, powdered juice,
cooking oil, vinegar
 12 clear bottle or cups
 2 pieces each, measuring spoon (1/2 tsp and tsp)
 2 pieces each, measuring cups (1/2 cup and 1 cup)
 3 funnels or improvised funnel made from 500 mL plastic bottle
 1 funnel rock
Procedure:

1. Predict which among the given samples will dissolve in water. Write your
prediction in column 2 of the table.
2. Put one cup of water in each of the cups.
3. Add ½ teaspoon of each of the six samples. Use the teaspoon to dissolve as
much of each sample as possible. Use a different teaspoon for each of the cups.

Question:

1. Describe the mixture that resulted after mixing. Write your answer in column 3.
2. How many phases do you observe? Write your observation in column 4.
3. Identify the solute in each of the mixture. Write your answer in the blank.
Sugar,salt and powdered juice are solute since they are dissolved in water.
4. What is the solvent in each mixture?
Water since it is capable of dissolving more substances than any other liquid
5. Which of the following are solutions? Write your answer in column 5

Table 1.Data Table


(1) (2) (3) (4) (5)
Sample solid or Wil dissolve Appearance Number of Solution or
liquid in one cup of phases not?
water
(yes or No)
Sugar yes white two yes
crystalline
solid
Salt yes white one yes
granular
solid
Mongo seeds no green one not
round solid
Powdered juice yes colored two
powder
Cooking oil no yellowish, two not
slimmy
liquid
Vinegar no yellowish one yes
liquid

Conclusion:

The solute cannot be separated from the solvent through filtration because
these are so small that they pass through the filter paper or cheesecloth.And
also a solution is often clear and transparent.
