<center>Massing Mole of Kool-Aid Solid (One Step Mole Cal) Lab</center> 
 
 
Everybody has heard of Kool-Aid (which is mostly sugar). But how many people realize that sugar is not a single molecule but a family of similar molecular compounds. What we think of as sugar (the solid stuff you put on your cereal) is really the molecular compound sucrose (not glucose). It has a chemical formula of C12H22O11 and basically is two units of glucose (of course minus the water, H2O since it is a hydrogenation reaction). 
 
In this lab, you will use the Kool-Aid to make a Kool-Aid drink. So once you have gotten correct amount of Kool-aid, you will dissolve it in the 8 oz container until you have a solution. A solution is a homogeneous mixture where there is NO solid solute remaining anywhere (including the bottom of container).

Once you have drank the initial solution, it is your task to try to make a different solution that is "better" tasting by increasing the mass of Kool-aid until you get a drink that is "good tasting".  Each new "recipe" requires you do another set of calculations to determine the number of mole of Kool-Aid you added.

Directions 
 
1) Using the space on back of this page, determine the mass of sucrose needed to weigh out for your desired moles of sucrose. 
 
2) After checking your answer with the teacher, write this mass in your data table. 
 
3)Then mass out the sucrose needed to get desired moles of sucrose. 
 
4) Add in the 8 oz of water to the container. 
 
5) Then add in the solid Kool-Aid and stir until all solute is dissovled. 
 
6) Then drink the solution.

7) Repeat until desired taste is produced.
