In a supersaturated solution, the maximum amount of solute is dissolved in solution, and some residual solute appears in solid form in the solvent. For example, a supersaturated salt solution would have salt crystals visible in the water even after vigourous stirring.

What happens when a saturated solution is heated?

When you raise the temperature of a saturated solution; you can add more solute and make it a super saturated solution because the molecules of the solvent will be able to attract more molecules of solute.


When you add so much solute that no one dissolves you have a?

This is called a supersaturated solution.


What happens is you add additional solid NaCl after the maximum solubility has been reached?

A supersaturated solution is obtained.


You can add this to bond a supersaturated solution?

you are from mountain ash rite its artem i need help with that too


What happens when you add more of a material to water than will it dissolve?

no i t will notansw2. the solution has become saturated, or even 'supersaturated' when it contains more solute than it can support when the temperature drops.


What happens if you add additional solid NaCI after the maximum has been reached?

A supersaturated solution is obtained.


Which of the following is the best way to determine if an aqueous solution of sodium acetate NaC2H3O2 is supersaturated?

The solubility of sodium acetate at 20 oC is 54,6 g/100 g water. If you add further solute and this is no longer dissolved the solution is supersaturated.


When you add so much solute that no more dissolves what do you have?

A saturated solution is made when you have added so much solute that no more dissolves. The amount of solute needed to make a saturated solution will change with the temperature of the solution.


What happens when you add 300 grams of silver nitrate to 100 grams of water at 25 Celsius?

This is a supersaturated solution.


What happens if you continue to add solute to saturated solution?

All that would happen is the solute would not absorb into the solution and it would spill off eventually.


What happens when you add more solute to an unsaturated solution?

I know this because our class just did a lab and I wrote a 15 page paper on this. Essentially, when you make a supersaturated solution, you heat a saturated solution up until it is realls UNsaturated, and then you add more solute to bring the heated solution CLOSE, but not TO, saturation. Then you cool the solution down gently, without agitating it, and if you're lucky, none of the solute will precipitate, making the solution, of course, supersaturated. Now, the balance between these particles is really frail. So if you add more solute to the supersat. solution, all of the originally dissolved solid(only the solid that you put in the hot solution) will crystallize. Basically, one moment there will be a tiny crystal in a test tube full of liquid, and the next moment the test tube will be half full with crystals. sooo....yeah


What is the best way to make supersaturated solution?

Use really clean equipment. Heat some water in a beaker so that it will dissolve more solute. Dissolve all that it will hold, to make sure add excess. Decant the liquid into another beaker allow no crystals to be transferred to the new beaker. Allow to cool slowly. Do not agitate. The cool solution will be supersaturated.
