PROCEDURE I

  1.        
    1. Fill the burette with distilled water. Using the burette, add 4.0cm3 of distilled water to solid P in a boiling tube. Heat the mixture in a water bath while stirring with a thermometer to about 70ºC until all the solid dissolves.
    2. Allow the solution to cool while stirring with the thermometer and note the temperature at which crystals of solid P start to appear. Record this temperature in table I.
    3. Using the burette, add 2.0cm3 of distilled water to the contents of the boiling tube. Heat the mixture while stirring with the thermometer until all the solid dissolves while in the water bath.
    4. Allow the mixture to cool while stirring and note the temperature at which crystals of solid P start to appear. (FOR FASTER COOLING PROCESS, USE COLD TAP WATER)
    5. Repeat the procedure (c) and (d) three more times, heating the solution in a water bath and record the temperature in the table. Retain the contents of the boiling tube for use in procedure II.
  2. Complete the table by calculating the solubility of solid P at the different temperatures. (The solubility of a substance is the mass of that substance that dissolves in 100cm3(100g) of water at a particular temperature.
