# SPS6: Properties of Solutions

Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information to explain the properties of solutions.

- Subject: Science
- Appears in: High School, https://georgiahomeroom.org/standards/science/high-school.md

## Expectations

- **SPS6.a**: Develop and use models to explain the properties (solute/solvent, conductivity, and concentration) of solutions.
- **SPS6.b**: Plan and carry out investigations to determine how temperature, surface area, and agitation affect the rate solutes dissolve in a specific solvent.
- **SPS6.c**: Analyze and interpret data from a solubility curve to determine the effect of temperature on solubility.
- **SPS6.d**: Obtain and communicate information to explain the relationship between the structure and properties (e.g., pH, and color change in the presence of an indicator) of acids and bases.
- **SPS6.e**: Plan and carry out investigations to detect patterns in order to classify common household substances as acidic, basic, or neutral.
