Sugar dissolves in or mixes completely with
water. The solubility of a substance in water is
determined by measuring the maximum
amount of the substance that dissolves in a
given amount of water at a given temperature.
Hypothesis: The solubility of sugar in water
decreases as the temperature of the water
decreases. Identify the independent variable
and the dependent variable that you would use
to test this hypothesis.
