Salt Diffusion

Effect of Temperature on Salt Diffusion Rates and it’s Relation to the
Human Body

Hypothesis: Ordinary table salt is known to dissolve easily in water. Dissolving or diffusion is the spreading of particles in another substance. This is seen when smoke from a chimney diffuses in the air around it, or when dropping coloring in water. When NaCl, sodium chloride, or otherwise known as ordinary table salt is combined with water the separate salt and water molecules will be attracted to each other and break bonds causing the salt to dissolve. So what role does the temperature of the solvent play on the rate of the salt diffusing? Hypothesis: As the temperature of the solvent is increased, the rate of dissolving will follow suit and increase.
The amount of water will be kept at a constant, as will the amount of salt used. A timer will be used to record the
Based on these results it would be fair to say that the time taken for salt to diffuse decreases as the temperature of the water is increased. It is seen to decrease exponentially as the time in which it dissolves, according to the relative temperature increments, decreases less as temperature is continually
