My science project plan is to make two pancakes. One pancake, I will pour 2 fluid ounces of hot maple syrup onto right when it comes off the pan, when it's still hot. I will check the temperature of both the syrup and the pancake by placing thermometers inside both. I will let the pancake sit and absorb the syrup for five minutes, and then scrape all the maple syrup that remains back into the measuring cup and see how much maple syrup was not absorbed, which will tell me how much was absorbed. The second pancake, I will let sit until it is room temperature. Then I will pour the same amount of hot maple syrup over it and do the same procedure. That way I will see if the temperature of the solid, which is the pancake, affects the amount of absorption. Thank you for any information and sources for information on how and why this kind of absorption occurs. And also, how temperature affects the process. Yours truly, Noah.
Re: How does a solid absorb a liquid Does the solid's temperature affect that?
