What is it called when candy solution cools and extra solute remains dissolved?
Supersaturated
What happens when you add solute to supersaturated solution?
The solute can re-form as a solid.
Is a supersaturated solution stable or unstable?
Yes. If a solution is supersaturated, that means there is too much of the dissolved particles in the solvent. The slightest provocation will create the excess particles to separate back into their original form until the solution is at its saturation point.
What is seeding process?
Definition:- Such a solution is unstable and excess solute will separate out if the solution is disturbed or an extra particle of solute is added to it .This process is called seeding process.
How do you dissolve more solute in a solvent?
If the solute is soluble, it will dissolve in the solvent.
If a solute crystallizes out of a solution when seed crystal is added what kind of solution is it?
It is a supersaturated solution. These solutions are formed when a saturated solution with excess solute in it (like saltwater with extra salt on the bottom) is heated until all the solute dissolves. When the solution is cooled, the extra solute remains in solution--thus supersaturated because more solute is dissolved than should be at that temperature. The seed crystal provides an opportunity for the extra solute to come out of solution.

Why did the supersaturated solution begin to drop small crystals when the additional sodium thiosulfate was added?
The supersaturated solution begin to drop small crystals when the additional sodium thiosulfate was added because the supersaturated solution got reverted back to a saturated solution. Every solution has it;s own level of saturation, at a certain temperature a limit of the solute can be disolved in it, if you heat the solution the limit changes and more of the solute can be added in the solution. This is a supersaturated solution.When you drop an extra crystal into a supersaturated solution, all the extra crystals that aren't suppose to be in it crystalize out of the solution.

What is a super-satured solution?
Almost every chemical that dissolves (solute) in a solution eventually reaches a proportion of solute to solvent where no more material will dissolve. The extra just falls to the bottom. This is saturated solution. However if you "play tricks" on the saturated solution. For example cooling it gently so the solution is holding more solute at the lower temperature than it should. The solution is said to be supersaturated. This is usually a unstable condition. A tap on the container or the introduction of a dust mote or particle of the solute, will result in the precipitation of the excess solute from the solution.

What is the definition for super saturated solution?
Saturation is divided into 3 groups: Saturated. Unsaturated. Supersaturated. Supersaturated is when there is too much solute in the solvent so the excess solute just falls to the bottom of the beaker/flask/cup.
Extra solute sitting at the bottom of a solution indicates the solution is what?
Saturated.
