Essay

You conducted an experiment on the effect of the form of sweetener on fruit texture with the objective measurement of cooking time. The heavy syrup variation is expected to cook in the shortest time, followed by the thin syrup variation, and then the control (no sugar). Using the terms nonvolatile, non-ionizing solute, explain these results. Then imagine that salt was substituted for sugar, and using the term nonvolatile, ionizing solute, explain these results.
