for our chemistry controlled assessment, we had to choose a salt and perform an experiment that would effect the temperature change of a salt mixed with water. we chose to use potassium chloride. the amount of water we used was 25ml, which remained constant for each test we did. we performed the test over 7 different values of salt, from 0.5 - 6g and we repeated each test 3 times to ensure accuracy. Here is a table of our results. All of the temperatures were measured in degrees Celsius.
