31. (Sample: Higher temperature makes sugar dissolve faster, smaller granules dissolve
more quickly than large crystals, and stirring speeds up the process by bringing fresh
solvent into contact with the solute.)
32. (Sample: Gather samples like vinegar, soap, coffee, lemon juice; use red and blue litmus
paper; dip strips in each sample; observe color change; wear gloves and goggles to protect
from spills.)
