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."
Describe how you would make 1.0L of a supersaturated solution of CdI2?
I would take 351 g of CdI2 and heat it in hot water, have a soluable solution at that temperature, then decrease the temperature to have a supersaturated solution
Is sugar a solute or solvent solution?
Sugar water is a solution in which sugar is the solute and water is the solvent. The water dissolves the sugar.
What happens when you add solute to supersaturated solution?
The solute can re-form as a solid.
In a sugar solution, sugar is __________________ and water is _________________.?
Water is the solvent
What are the science concept to rock candy?
rock candy is formed in a supersaturated solution of sugar & water.
What are the related science concept to rock candy?
rock candy is formed in a supersaturated solution of sugar & water.
Does sugar water have to be heated to create rock candy?
yes it has to be heated in water in a supersaturated solution.
How do you produce three solutions of sugar in water an unsaturated solution and a supersaturated solution?
Unsaturated, the sugar will dissolve and you won't see any sugar solutessaturated, when the solution has all the solutes that it can take and dissovledsuper saturated, there is too much sugar and you can see the sugar solutes
When can SUGAR no longer be dissolved in water?
at 250C the maximum solubility of sucrose, a common form of sugar, is 200g/100ml water or at a molality of 2. However, a supersaturated solution would be able to hold more sugar.

Why doesn't 5 tablespoons of sugar form any crystals in 250 ml of water?
In order to get any crystal-forming chemical to form crystals in solution, you need a "supersaturated" solution, which is made by heating water really hot and putting in more sugar than you can get to dissolve. Then you pour the hot sugar water off the leftovers in the bottom of the glass, and you're ready. The neat thing about this is, the amount of sugar you can put in water is temperature-dependent; the hotter the water, the more sugar it will hold, and as the temperature drops sugar will fall out of solution in crystalline form. Cool so far? Five tablespoons of sugar in 250ml water isn't enough to make a supersaturated solution. You didn't ask, but if you like rock candy it's easy to make. You need a supersaturated sugar solution and some string. Dunk the string in the sugar solution and let it dry. Then put it back in the sugar solution. Crystals will grow on the string. It's really fun to watch. Candy stores start with other rock candy--they tie a piece to the end of the string before they dunk it, so the string will hang down straight.
What will eventually happen to a supersaturated solution?
The solute will eventually fall out of a supersaturated solution
Describe how you would make 1.0L of a supersaturated solution of CdI2?
I would take 351 g of CdI2 and heat it in hot water, have a soluable solution at that temperature, then decrease the temperature to have a supersaturated solution
What physically happens in a supersaturated solution of salt in water?
Salt will crystalize out.
What is a sentence about the science word solute?
In sugar solution water is called the solvent and sugar is called the solute.
Is sugar a solution?
No, sugar is not a solution. Sugar water is a solution of sugar and water, but sugar itself is not.
