Measure the same quantity (100 ml) of tap water into each container. 2. Place one teaspoon (5 ml) of fine table salt into the first container. 3. Stir the solution and measure the time it takes for the salt to dissolve completely. Record the time in the table below. 4. Repeat steps 2-3 with the coarse rock salt. 164 Matter and Materials
