    This lab activity introduces students to making solutions of different concentrations of Kool-Aid. Students will calculate and prepare three Kool-Aid solutions with concentrations of 0.1 M, 0.4 M, and 0.7 M by measuring out the appropriate amount of Kool-Aid powder and dissolving it in water. Students will then observe, taste, and record their observations of each solution to determine which concentration is closest to the ideal Kool-Aid concentration. The activity teaches students about molarity calculations and concentration.

    Lab Activity- Kool-Aid Concentration


    Introduction: This activity introduces you to solutions and allows you to experience making different
    concentrations of Kool- aid solution. There are many ways to calculate the concentration of a substance including:
    molarity (M), parts per million (ppm), percent composition (% comp), and grams per liter (g/L). In chemistry,
    concentration is usually measured by the number of moles of substance dissolved in a liter of liquid. This is called
    molarity and is expressed as mol/L or M (The formula is: M = moles/Liter).
    Purpose:
    Practice molarity calculations in order to make 3 different solutions of Kool-Aid with the following
    concentrations: 0.1 M, 0.4 M, & 0.7M .
    Determine the concentration (molarity) of properly made Kool-Aid through a taste test.
    Materials:
    Kool-Aid Powder, Popsicle sticks (to stir solutions), Water, Balance, Plastic cups

    Pre-Lab Calculations: For full credit you must show the formula, all your work, and box/highlight your answer!
    1. If 0.35 moles of NaCl was dissolved in enough water to make 200. mL of solution, what is the molarity? (NOTE:
    1000 mL = 1 L)

    2. You are asked to make 500.0 mL of a 0.250 M sodium chloride (NaCl) solution.
    a. How many moles of NaCl would you need? b. How many grams of NaCl would you need?

    3. You need to prepare 100.0 mL of a 0.050 M solution of calcium chloride (CaCl 2).
    a. How many moles of CaCl2 are needed? b. How many grams of CaCl2 are needed?

    4. YOUR KOOL-AID CALCULATIONS: SHOW WORK!


    **The molar mass of Kool-Aid powder: 342 g/ mol Kool-Aid is mostly sucrose sugar (C12H22O11)**

    Cup #1 Cup #2 Cup #3


    100.0 mL of a 0.100 M solution: 100.0 mL of a 0.400 M solution: 100.0 mL of a 0.700 M solution:

    Calculate #
    of moles of
    Kool-Aid
    powder
    needed:

    Calculate #
    of grams of
    Kool- aid
    powder
    needed:
    Procedure to making Kool-Aid (for every lab group of 3-4 people):
    1. Using your calculations from question #4 above, measure out the correct amount of solid Kool-Aid
    powder (grams) into the assigned cup to make a 0.1 M solution. Be careful not to include the mass
    of the cup in your measurement!
    2. Transfer the powder into the assigned mixing cup.
    3. Add water into the mixing cup until you have 100 mL of solution. Stir with a spoon or stick.
    4. Observe and taste the solutions you have made. You can have one designated taster or you can pour
    a little into separate little cups for each group member to taste. Record in data table.
    5. Repeat steps 1-5 in order to make the 0.4 M and 0.7 M solutions.
    6. Clean-UpThrow away cups that you drank out of, but save the mixing & measuring cups.

    Data / Observations: 0.1 M solution: 0.4 M solution: 0.7 M solution:

    Observations
    -looks (colors), smells,
    tastes

    Calculations/ Analysis:
    1. Which concentration that you tested was closest to the ideal concentration of Kool-Aid? What was wrong with
    each of the other solutions that you made?

    2. What was the solute used in this lab? What was the solvent?

    3. What is molarity?

    Questions for discussion: You must show the formula, all your work, and box/highlight your answers!
    1. Write the formulas for the 4 different ways to calculate concentrations:
    a. Molarity b. grams/ Liter c. % composition d. Parts per million

    Determine the following concentrations using the 4 different methods:


    **(Reminder: 1 gram H2O = 1 mL & 1 L = 1000 mL)**
    2. If 1.80 moles of NaCl was dissolved in enough water to make 3.60 L of solution:
    a. Molarity? b. Grams/ Liter? c. % composition? d. Parts per million?

    3. If 20 grams of NaOH was dissolved in enough water to make a 250 mL NaOH solution:
    a. Molarity? b. Grams/ Liter? c. % composition? d. Parts per million?
