b. Plan and carry out investigations to determine how temperature, surface area, and agitation affect the rate solutes dissolve in a specific solvent.
c. Analyze and interpret data from a solubility curve to determine the effect of temperature on solubility.

3. PROBLEM
You are a server in a very popular local restaurant. The restaurant manager was concerned about the quantity of unconsumed sweet iced tea that was thrown away each day. He declared that they would ONLY serve unsweetened iced tea. A significant number of customers are complaining that they want sweet iced tea to be served once again.
