Solubility Factors Lab Procedure: I. Fill a beaker with 50ml of water II. Heat the water on the hot plate to about 35-40C III. Mass one sugar cube IV. Drop a sugar cube into the water and stir until the cube completely dissolves V. Repeat until the water becomes so saturated with sugar that the granules stop dissolving and sink to the bottom of the beaker VI. Repeat steps IV and V for 50ml …

…immediately starting the timer when the sugar cube was dropped in and immediately pressing the stop button when all traces of sugar were dissolved. Throughout the lab, there were some discrepancies between the start and stop times. Another thing we could have improved on was how much we stirred each sugar cube after it was dropped in. The differences between the kinetic energies of the solvents could have affected the rate the sugar cubes dissolved.
