Question 1) In a well developed paragraph, explain the solution chemistry that makes this candy recipe work. Your paragraph should explain the following:
The solvent and the solute in this recipe;
The colligative properties (at least one) observable in following this recipe;
The saturation level (unsaturated, saturated, or supersaturated) of the solution in this recipe.
Question 2) A "one cup" measuring cup has a volume of 240 milliliters. One cup of sugar has a mass of 200 grams. Using this information, calculate the weight/volume % concentration, (w/v)%, of the sugar solution in this rock candy recipe. Be sure to show your steps as well as your final answer.
Question 3) The chemical formula for table sugar is C6 H12 O6. Calculate the molarity of the sugar solution in this rock candy recipe. Be sure to show your steps as well as your final answer. (You may need some of the information provided in post-lab question #2, above).
Question 4) Explain two things you could do to try to make even more sugar dissolve in the same quantity of water used in this recipe. What have you learned in chemistry that makes you think these two things might work?
Question 5) Based upon your understanding of solution chemistry, do you think another substance (such as table salt) could be used in this recipe to create a final product that is similar in appearance to rock candy? Why or why not?
