Kinetics of Solid Dissolution

In this experiment you will study the dissolution kinetics of a solid as a function of temperature and determine a rate constant and activation energy for the dissolution process.  The theoretical background, materials and chemicals, experimental procedure, data, calculations, and references for this experiment are all described in detail in the MS Word document Kinetics of Solid Dissolution.

Safety

Since candy and water are the only reagents used in this experiment, there are no particular safety precautions that
you need to be aware in this lab other than the potential for electrical shock from the water bath.
