Molarity of sweetened tea

Purpose: Was to see who liked very sweet tea or the least sweet tea.

Procedure summary: We made 6 different kinds of tea. Than we had to calculate the mass of one mole of table sugar(sucrose). Than we measured 500 ML of unsweetened tea in a 1,000 ML beaker. Than we calculated and massed the moles of sugar needed for the tea.

Data:

Taryn=
1 Really,really sweet
2 Really sweet
3 needs less sugar
4 perfect!!!! +
5 Good
6 Not enough sugar-

Sarah=
1 + Good
2 Needs more sugar
3 Way to much sugar
4 Needs more sugar
5 Needs a lot more sugar
6 - Seems like no sugar is in threre

Ms.T=
1 Least favorite
2 Not like
3 Not like
4 Not like
5 + my favorite
6 Not like

Justin Nevers=
1 + Tastes ok
2 A little bit off to much sugar
3 three is better than 2
4 Not to bad
5 Not to bad needs sugar 4 is better
6 Needs sugar and it's the worst tea

1. Which of the molarities was preferred by each person in class? T= 4 S= 1 Ms.T=5

2. Is there a relationship between sweetness preferred and any other factors you observed? Taryn does not use sugar that much. Sarah eats a lot of sugar I LOVE SUGAR!!!!!

3. How many tsp of sugar would you need in one 8oz glass of tea to equal the concentration of your preference?
Taryn= 3.2 tsp per 8 oz glass
Sarah= 6.4125 tsp per 8 oz glass
