SPS6. Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information to explain the properties of solutions.
a. Develop and use models to explain the properties (solute/solvent, conductivity, and concentration) of solutions.
b. Plan and carry out investigations to determine how temperature, surface area, and agitation affect the rate solutes dissolve in a specific solvent.
c. Analyze and interpret data from a solubility curve to determine the effect of temperature on solubility.
d. Obtain and communicate information to explain the relationship between the structure and properties (e.g., pH, and color change in the presence of an indicator) of acids and bases.
(Clarification statement: Limited to only the structure of simple acids and bases (e.g., HCl and NaOH) that demonstrates the presence of an H+ or OH-. e. Plan and carry out investigations to detect patterns in order to classify common household substances as acidic, basic, or neutral.
