, 2 A student investigated the temperature change that took place when different salts
were dissolved in water.
The student used the following method.
step 1 pour 50 cm3 of water into a polystyrene cup and record the temperature of
the water
step 2 find the mass of an empty boiling tube
step 3 add 2 spatula measures of a salt to the boiling tube and find its new mass
step 4 add the salt to the water
step 5 stir the mixture and record the temperature after 2 minutes.
Figure 3 shows the apparatus used.

(a) For steps 2 and 3, the student obtained the mass measurements shown in
Figure 4 for the first salt.

Use the mass measurements in Figure 4 to calculate the mass of salt, in grams,
added to the water.
