Table 1 Passage #13
Students constructed a solubility curve after collecting data from their solubility lab. They then took a closer look at the solubility of KCl, a common ionic compound to see how dissolved o

Procedure Checklist (in pairs)

1. Place wellplate over circles below. Use the row and column labels for what goes in the wells.
 2. Add about ten drops of solvent to each well in that solvent’s row.

3. Using wooden spatula with letter that matches solute cup label, drop a very small amount of
solute into each well in that solute’s column

4. In the last column, add 2-3 drops of the +Solvent as indicated in the data table below

5. Stir the contents of the well with the clean end of a toothpick

6. Observe and record results (Yes or No if any dissolved for each well) in data table.
(You may want to use the black desktop as a background to better see what is happening)

7. Dump wellplate in DUMP beaker. Leave used wellplates in front sink.
 8. Throw out used toothpicks and white paper sheets

9. Everything else goes back in bins; put back up front

10. Answer the conclusion questions below.
Homework:
1) What is the substance called that gets dissolved into a solution?
2) What is the substance called that dissolves the other substance into a solution?
3) From the lab, which solvent’s results were least like the other two?
4) From the lab, what might have been dissolved in the Snake River?
5) Honors/EC: From the lab, what was probably not dissolved in the Snake River?
