Blog Question

Explain how the solubility curve lab works.
The solubility curve lab begins with collecting experimental data to construct a solubility curve for succinic acid, a molecular compound. First, you fill a beaker with water and heat it. Then, place succinic acid in 2 test tubes, adding 20 mL of distilled water to each. Place the test tubes inside of the beaker with warm water, carefully stirring the succinic acid solutions. Pour only the clear liquid from the solutions into separate, clean test tubes and then place those into an ice bath, stirring the liquid gently once or twice. Tap the side of each test tube, which then causes the crystals to settle at the bottom. Measure the height of the crystals and compare results. Lastly, submit your data.
