2. What is the % concentration of sugar in 591 mL of Gatorade?

B. Establishing 1. Lesson Purpose

Lesson Purpose The learners should be able to explain how temperature affects solubility of a solid
material.

 2. Unlocking Content Vocabulary
Ask the learners to read the following sentences. Then let them determine the meaning of
the underlined words through the context clues. (5 minutes)
1. Solubility is the degree to which a substance dissolves in a solvent to make a
solution. (Amount, lack, loss, differ)

2. Similar ratios of solutes can be used to investigate the effect of temperature

difference on their solubility. (Difference, percentage, whole, disproportions)

3. Wine is a mixture of alcohol and fermented fruits. (non-alcoholic, fresh, soured,

sweet)
4. Temperature affects the solubility of a material. (condition, coolness, high
temperature, hotness and coldness).

C. Developing and 1. Explicitation

Deepening The learners will be asked to read and understand the text.
Understanding
Solubility is the ability of a solid, liquid, or gaseous chemical substance (referred to
as the solute) to dissolve in solvent (usually a liquid) and form a solution. The solubility
of a substance fundamentally depends on the solvent used, temperature and pressure.
The solubility of a substance in a particular solvent is measured through the
concentration of the saturated solution. A solution is considered saturated when adding
additional solute no longer increases the concentration of the solution.

The solubility of a given solute in each solvent typically depends on temperature.

For many solids dissolved in liquid water; solubility tends to correspond with increasing
temperature. As water molecules heat up, they vibrate more quickly and are better able
to interact with and break apart the solute.

Solubility can be found in everyday life. For example:

1. Salt or sodium chloride – usually soluble in water at 20°C.
2. Sugar usually dissolves in water molecules at 20°C.
3. Gelatin - soluble in water in the presence of heat.

3
 4. Powdered juices are a mixture of sugar, flavorings, and preservatives, usually
soluble in water at 20°C.
1. Wine is a mixture of alcohol and fermented fruits.
2. Soap - since it contains carbon, hydrogen, and salt, it dissolves in contact with
water.
3. Oxygen – oxygen atom, dissolved in water, is essential for the aquatic world's
inhabitants and other living things.

B. Establishing Lesson 1. Lesson Purpose

Purpose The learners will compare the solubility of different solid substances when exposed
to a solvent with varying temperatures.

2. Unlocking Content Vocabulary

The piece the learners will read serves as a springboard for a much deeper
discussion of solubility. They will also be asked to cite unfamiliar terms, phrases or
sentences.
Three Factors Affecting Dissolving
The rate of dissolving is a very important property of solutions. The rate of dissolving
depends on several factors:
• Temperature
• Agitation
• Particle size

8
 For most solid solutes, the rate of dissolving is greater at higher temperatures. At high
temperatures, the solvent molecules have greater kinetic energy and collide with
undissolved solid molecules more frequently.

Agitating a mixture by stirring or shaking the container increases the rate of dissolving.
Agitation brings fresh solvent into contact with undissolved solute.

Decreasing the size of the particles increases the rate of dissolving. When a large mass
of solute is broken into smaller pieces, the surface area in contact with the solvent
increases.

Solubility and Particle Attractions

The reasons why a solute may or may not dissolve in a solvent are related to the
forces of attraction between the solute and the solvent particles. When the forces of
attraction between different particles in a mixture are stronger than the forces of
attraction between like particles in a mixture, a solution forms.

C. Developing and 1. Explicitation

Deepening Refer to Learning Activity
