Solubility

Today I did a fun science task/ Maths task about this word “Solubility” this word means The maximum amount of a substance that will dissolve in a given amount of salt/sugar and this task very intersting and fun. My maximum we could reach was about 200 grams till the water was too blurry and filled to dissolve in the water. On the task shown we measured data of each time we inserted sugar into our cup. The cup was 100 ML of water which is a small amount for 200 grams of sugar inserted. I tasted the water and my mouth was fuming because of how sugary the drink was. In the end everyone was cleaning up and our cups were more of syrup than water. One more example of solubility is the word “Solution” meaning a way of getting through it, or a mixture of 2 or more substances.
