Sasha did an experiment to study the solubility of two substances. She poured 100 mL of water at 20°C into each of two beakers labeled A and B She put 50 g of Substance A in the beaker labeled A and 50 g of Substance B in the beaker labeled B. The solution in both beakers was stirred for 1 minute. The amount of substance
left undissolved in the beakers was weighed. The experiment was repeated for different temperatures of water and the observations were recorded as shown.
