What is a solution with a concentration above the equilibrium solubility called?
a supersaturated solution
When the dissolving rate equals the rates at which molecules come out of solution the solution is in?
When the dissolving rate equals the rate at which molecules comes out of solution the solution is in 'equilibrium'.
How can you describe the equilibrium in a saturated solution?
No. A saturated solution is still in equilibrium. If you bring it into contact with more of the solute, the concentration will remain the same. Solute will precipitate out at the same rate that more solute dissolves into the solution. An unstable equilibrium would be a supersaturated solution. In a supersaturated solution, more of the solute is in solution that would be equilibrium with the solid solute (or gas if you are dissolving gas for example). An example that many people are familiar with is dissolving a lot of sugar into hot water. As it cools down, the solution becomes supersaturated. As long as there is nothing for the sugar to nucleate on , the sugar can remain in solution indefinitely. If you hang a string in the solution, the sugar will start crystalizing on the string, forming "rock candy."
What is the difference between an isotonic solution and equilibrium?
equilibrium is reaching that state of equal concentration. isotonic is how you describe the cell that has equal concentration.
What is quasi-equilibrium?
In equilibrium, after any displacement from equilibrium, the system will always seek to return to the same state. In quasi-equilibrium, a disturbance of the system may result in the system shifting to a new, more stable equilibrium state. An example of quasi equilibrium is a supersaturated liquid with no nucleation sites for the growth of crystals. It may remain in the same quasi-equilibrium state indefinitely as long as no nucleation sites are introduced. As soon as some seed crystals are introduced however, the solute in the supersaturated solution will begin to crystalize out of the soultion until enough is removed to reduce the solution to true equilibrium. At that point, no mater what additional crystals are added or removed from the solution, the concentration of the solute will remain the same.
Solution equilibrium most likely exists in which type of solution?
Equilibrium is only found in a saturated solution, where the dissolved species and the undissolved species are in equilibrium with each other. In a dilute solution there is nothing that is undissolved, and so there is no equilibrium, and by definition a supersaturated solution is out of equilibrium and essentially has too much stuff dissolved in it (it will eventually return to equilibrium and some of the dissolved material will precipitate out).
How do isotonic solutions and equilibrium differ?
isotonic solution, equilibrium
When the dissolving rate equals the rate at which molecules comes out of solution the solution is in?
When the dissolving rate equals the rate at which molecules comes out of solution the solution is in 'equilibrium'.
What is solubility equilibrium?
Equilibrium solubility is how much of a certain solute is in solution when the system has reached equilibrium. For example, when something like silver chloride (AgCl) is placed in water, none of it goes into solution. But given some time, an equilibrium will be reached where a small amount of AgCl is in solution and is in equilibrium with the insoluble AgCl.
What is a solution with a concentration above the equilibrium solubility called?
a supersaturated solution
A solution in which the dissolved solute is in equilibrium with undissolved solute?
A saturated solution.
What particles are evenly dispersed or distributed in solution what condition is the solution said to be in?
equilibrium
What is the solution called when the cell is in equilibrium called?
A cell that is in an isotonic solution is in equilibrium with the solution. What ions and water outside of the cell is the same as the ions and water that is inside the cell. The term -iso means the same.
What solution is form by dissolving ammonia gas in methylbenzene?
Solution will achieve equilibrium and the solution will not conduct electricity.
Why is the equilibrium price stable and therefore must be allowed to stay?
It must be less than the equilibrium price
Cell that contains 50 percent water is placed in a solution that is 30 percent water The cell and the solution will reach equilibrium when they both contain how much water?
The cell and the solution will reach equilibrium when they each contain 40 percent water. This equilibrium is achieved through osmosis.
Is The substances of a solution are evenly distributed?
Of course they. If not, they would not be "in solution".If substances of a solution are evenly distributed then they have reached equilibrium.
