Background Information
We will be making different molarities of Kool-id! nother word for molarity is "on"entration! #o
"al"$late the molarit% of a sol$tion& "hemists need two 'ie"es of information( the n$mber of moles of
sol$te dissol)ed and the n$mber of liters of sol$tion!
*olarit% + , moles of sol$te
, liters of sol$tion
Watch how molarity changes as you change your moles of solute.

6or this lab we are going to ass$me& Kool-id is mostl% s$"rose or s$gar 7C42822O449 with added "olor
and fla)orings! :o$ "an ass$me the molar mass of Kool-id is that of s$gar!
#re-"a$ %uestions& Use correct units.
4! Cal"$late the molar mass of Kool-id! _________________________
2! When Kool-aid is dissol)ed in water& what is the sol$te and what is the sol)ent;

we will taste Kool-id sol$tions in order to learn abo$t "on"entration! <'e"ial "are m$st be taken so that
