Hypothesis and adjusted method


Hypothesis: The more polar the substance, the higher the solubility product of salt. If temperature is increased, then the solubility will increase, more effectively for the polar substances.

 
Method:

1) Pour 100mL of water into a 250mL conical flask. Measure out 38g of salt and add to the solution. Stir until dissolved.

2) Fill a burette with silver nitrate and add a potassium permanganate indicator to the NaCl solution. Slowly titrate the silver nitrate into the solution, stopping when the precipitate turns brick red. Record the amount of silver nitrate used, and consequently discover the amount of chlorine ions.

NOTE: The silver nitrate should react with the chloride ions, which will then react with the potassium permanganate indicator to create a brick red color. The titration will then be complete, because the chlorine will only react with the indicator when all the ions in the solution have been used up

3) Calculate the Ksp, knowing the chlorine concentration.

4) Repeat procedure for ethanol and oil.

5) Repeat the procedure for same substances, though heat over a temperature of 80 degrees before titration.
