► Investigation Three Summary – Solubility and Miscibility
In Investigation Three, you explored the solubility and miscibility of several substances in water. During this Investigation, you:
1. Observed whether five solid compounds were soluble in water or not.
2. Observed whether three liquid compounds were miscible in water or not.
► Investigation Three Summary – Learning Goals
Through these experiments, you concluded that:
1. Compounds composed of the same elements do not necessarily have identical properties. It is possible for compounds to share similar elements, however some may be solids and other are liquids. In addition, some are soluble and miscible in water whereas others are not.
2. Alternatively, compounds composed of different elements may indeed share similar properties.
