Try a sample

To compare dissolution at two temperatures, what should be the same?

  1. the water temperature
  2. the amount of substance added
  3. the time to dissolve
  4. the dissolution rate
See the answer & why

the amount of substance added

Equal quantities help isolate the effect of temperature.

A little hint: Identify the factor being tested and keep the comparison conditions consistent.
