How can we increase the rate at which sugar cube be dissolve in water? Hypothesis: My hypothesis is that the hot water will dissolve the most sugar among most of our other methods. I picked the hot water because hot water molecules tend to move very fast. which increases the speed of how the molecules take away the sugar molecules which make sugar dissolve quicker inside of the hot water. Materials: 3 cups Water and hot water Spoon Sugar cubes Stop watch Mortar and pestle

1‚800/day. Compute the arc price elasticity of demand over this price and consumption quantity range. Ey = ((1800 – 1500) / ((1800 + 1500) / 2)) ((1.75 – 2.25) / ((1.75 + 2.25) / 2)) Ey = 300 ($4.00) -$0.50 (300) Ey = -8% 4.
