first you need to know the number of liters and moles and the equation. you do someting then multiply the liters times the moles. first you need to know the number of liters and moles and the equation. you do someting then multiply the liters times the moles.
If it is saturated with a solid solute, you would expect some of the solid to precipitate out - as long as the solid could find a surface to nucleate on. If it is saturated with a gas, you would expect more gas to dissolve into it as long as it was still in contact with the saturating gas in the gas phase.
It depends on the amount of salt and the amount of water. If there is only a little salt, it is probably unsaturated. That means more salt could be dissolved into the solution. If there is quite a bit of salt, it is more than likely saturated. If you add more salt and it just floats to the bottom, it is saturated. Unless it is supersaturated of course. For the solution to be supersaturated, you would have had to boil the water, add salt to the point where it stops dissolving into the boiling hot solution, then let the solution cool down. So, it can be any of the three.
That is called a saturated solution. It has reached a point where it can no longer dissolve any more solute (thing to be dissolved) in the solvent.This is more info you might find interesting:Keep in mind compounds dissolve at different rates in solvent. This rate is dependent on heat; goes faster with more. To be sure its not the dissolve rate but saturation you'll need to give it time. Of course a quick fix for a saturated solution is to add more solvent.Unless the goal is to be saturated, like in hand warmers. An example of a super saturated solution. Crystal sodium acetate trihydrate is dissolved in water until the saturation point. It is heated to force more to dissolve and then is allowed to cool down. Once it has cooled the sodium acetate (NaOAc) is still dissolved in solution but is now unstable and easily recrystallized. If even a single crystal more NaOAc is added the entire solution will recrystallize. This recrystallization actually has a surprising effect. It produces heat as an exothermic reaction. That is why this property is used in hand warmers.
I did a scientific experiment about solutions at home.
Dissolve Copper sulphate in water. Keep adding it until the solution is saturated (no more dissolves). Decant the clear, saturated solution into a clean beaker. Now tie a thread around a small copper suphate crystal. Wrap the thread around a lolly stick. Dangle the crystal in the saturated solution and leave it all on a window ledge. As the water slowly evaporates, copper sulphate solid will be deposited on the best surface it can find. This will be the dangling crystal, and it will grow.
The fastest way is to add more salt - if the additional salt falls out of solution and forms a precipitate on the bottom of the container, the solution is saturated.

silver chloride (AgCl) AgNO3(aq) + KCl(aq) = AgCl (s) + KNO3 (aq) The only way to find out for your own if silver chloride or potassium nitrate is precipitated out is to look at a solubility chart.
No more solute can be dissolved in the solvent. If you have ever added a lot of sugar to a drink, you would find that no matter how much you stirred, there would still be undissolved sugar at the bottom of the glass. The drink is a saturated solution- no more sugar will dissolve in it.
You can tell when a solution is saturated because if it is, you can see solid particles of the solute in the liquid. These particles do not dissolve even if the solution is stirred vigourously.
You need to find a graph of solubility in your textbook. It should have temperature on the x-axis and "grams dissolved per 100 grams H2O" on the y-axis (or some such.) Sodium nitrate is less soluble in cool water than warm. Use the graph to determine how many grams are dissolved at 50°C, multiplying by 2 since there are 200 grams H2O. Then determine how many grams are dissolved at 20°C, again multiplying by 2. Subtract the two numbers to find the grams that will precipitate
The solubility is the amount of the solute (substance) in grams per cubic centimeter that can dissolve in a solvent (liquid) before it is saturated. So you would have to measure an amount of the solute before you put it in the solvent, then after the solvent is saturated, measure how much of the solute is left undissolved and subtract that from the original amount. Hope this helps.

boil off the solvent (usually water) until you are left with copper sulfate crystals. For getting back the copper sulphate crystals from copper sulphate solution, we have to first make super saturated solution by boiling, then allow to cool down & dried these crystals with filter paper.
