Salt Solubility Experiment Design

Medium Research Summaries Experimental Design

A team of scientists seeks to investigate the effects of temperature on the solubility of salt in water. They design an experiment in which they dissolve a specific amount of salt in water at various temperatures (5°C, 20°C, and 35°C) and measure the amount of salt that remains undissolved after a set time. The goal is to determine how well salt dissolves in water at each temperature.

The researchers plan to record measurements every five minutes for thirty minutes to ensure that they capture any changes in solubility accurately.

The experiment should include a control group with no salt added.

All measurements should be taken at the same time after allowing the salt to dissolve.

The scientists should conduct the experiment in an insulated environment to minimize temperature fluctuations.

Different amounts of salt should be used in the trials to compare solubility.
