2 A student investigates the temperature change when anhydrous lithium chloride dissolves in
water.
The student does five experiments.
Experiment 4
Use a 50cm? measuring cylinder to pour 40cm? of distilled water into a 100cm? beaker.
Use a thermometer to measure the initial temperature of the water.
Add a 2.0g sample of anhydrous lithium chloride to the water in the beaker.
Continually stir the mixture in the beaker using the thermometer.
Measure the highest temperature reached by the mixture in the beaker.
Empty the beaker and rinse the beaker with distilled water.

4 Magnesium sulfate is a salt. Magnesium sulfate is soluble in water.
‘The solubility of a salt is the mass of the salt, in g, that dissolves in 100cm? of water at a specified
temperature.
Plan an investigation to determine the solubility of magnesium sulfate in water at 50°C. Your plan
must include how the solubility of magnesium sulfate, in g per 100.cm? of water, can be found.
You are provided with solid magnesium sulfate, distilled water and common laboratory apparatus.
