Dissolution is what happens when the bonds that hold a powder together break down into a medium. Dissolution can happen under many conditions and temperatures. The question is, “Which temperature dissolves the powder the quickest and easiest?”
In order for dissolution to happen, you must have both a solute and a solvent. A solute is something that can be dissolved into a solvent, a medium into which something can be dissolved. The bonds holding the solute together must first be dissolved and broken down before the solute and the solvent can form its own bonds. When the solute and solvent combine, a solution is formed. Specific solvents can only hold so much dissolved solute, which when overfilled can cause clumps to form in the solvent. “At some point the solution

I will be using my experiment to answer my question. My hypothesis for this experiment is that the hot water will dissolve the powder the fastest.
For this experiment, I will need
1. Three clear cups
2. Cold, room temperature, and hot water
3. Kool-Aid powder
4. A white piece of paper With these items, I will be conducting the following experiment.
1. I will have three cups of water each with cold, room temperature, and hot water respectively.
2. I will set the said cups on a white piece of paper, in order to be able to tell the exact moment that the Kool-Aid powder is completely dissolved.
3. I will write cold room temperature, and hot in front of the cups respectively in order to be able to identify the cups.
4. I will get three tablespoons of Kool-Aid powder and pour one tablespoon into each cup.
5. I will then wait to see which water temperature dissolves the powder completely first.
6. I will then repeat these steps one more time in order to make sure that the results are accurate. With these results, I will be able to accurately answer the question,” Which temperature dissolves the powder the quickest and
