A saturated solution can dissolve more when you increase its temperature and less when you decrease. When hot saturated solution is cooled to zero degrees Celsius, or beyond it the solubility of the solvent will decrease and precipitate until it forms a solid.
A saturated solution is one that has reached its saturation level for a specific solute (what is dissolved in it). The saturation level depends on the temperature and different solutes have different saturation levels at different temperatures.
When a saturated solution is cooled, one of two things can happen.
It depends on how the solution is hot and how far it is cooled. A liquid's saturation point is defined by the capability of dissolving particular solute at standard temperature and pressure (STP). It can dissolve more when you increase temperature and less when you decrease. Thus, when a hot saturated solution is cooled down to STP and beyond it the solubility of the solvent will decrease and excess solute amount will precipitate and form a solid.
In Chemistry when a supersaturated solution begins to cool down the supersaturated solution begins to crystallization occurs in the solution.
Solubility decreases and a precipitate forms
It has more dissovled solution than water
the solid reacts with the liquid
A supersaturated solution is obtained.
Supersaturated.
A supersaturated solution is obtained.
The solute can re-form as a solid.
Supersaturated.
The solute will eventually fall out of a supersaturated solution
A supersaturated solution is obtained.
Salt will crystalize out.
Supersaturated.
The solute will eventually fall out of a supersaturated solution
A supersaturated solution has two phases: liquid and solid.
Adding more solute the solution become supersaturated.
A supersaturated solution is obtained.
A solution become supersaturated when the limitt of solute solubility at a given temperature is exceeded.
The solute can re-form as a solid.
How a saturated solution can become supersaturated?
A supersaturated solution has a concentration of solute greater than the solubility at a specific temperature.
