No, you won’t learn Spanish from this experiment, but you will learn how long it takes for vitamin C tablets to dissolve in hot or cool tap water (solubility).
Things Required:
2 vitamin C tablets
A glass of hot tap water
A glass of cool tap water
Directions:
Drop one vitamin C tablet in the cool tap water
and one in the hot water
This Is What Happens:
The vitamin C tablet in the hot water dissolves faster than the vitamin C tablet in cool water.
Science Behind It:
The solid molecules of vitamin C tablet (solute) in the hot water (solvent) dissolve faster, or are more soluble, because heat energy from the water causes the molecules in the vitamin C tablet to vibrate and move farther apart. Without heat energy, no such sudden change can occur.
