Question

dani adds 10 grams (g) of salt to a jar of water. she then adds 10 g of sand to a second jar of water. she covers and shakes both jars and sets them on the table for five minutes. the materials dani uses are shown below. what should dani expect to observe after those five minutes? both the salt and the sand dissolved in the water. both the salt and the sand settled to the bottom of the jar. the salt settled to the bottom of the jar, and the sand dissolved in the water. d. the salt dissolved in the water, and the sand settled to the bottom of the jar.

Explanation:

Salt is soluble in water. When salt is added to water and shaken, it dissolves to form a solution. Sand, on the other hand, is insoluble in water. When sand is added to water and shaken, it does not dissolve. Instead, due to its higher density compared to water, it settles at the bottom of the jar over time.

Answer:

D. The salt dissolved in the water, and the sand settled to the bottom of the jar.
