What does a solution saturation compare?
Solution saturation compares the amount of solute in a solution to the maximum amount that can be dissolved at a given temperature. It determines if a solution is saturated (holding the maximum amount of solute), unsaturated (holding less solute than possible), or supersaturated (holding more solute than normally possible).
What do you call a solution that holding more than the maximum amount of solute?
Supersaturated.
Why you need to heat the solution in order to prepare supersaturated solution?
Heating the solution increases the solubility of the solute, allowing more of it to dissolve. This creates a supersaturated solution, where the solution is holding more solute than it normally can at that temperature. Upon cooling, the excess solute remains in solution, resulting in a supersaturated solution.
When you have so much solute that no more dissolves you have a?
A saturated solution is a solution that no more solute will dissolve. Once the solution is saturated, any more solute that is added will not dissolve.
Adding more solute to a saturated aqueous solution causes?
Adding more solute to a saturated aqueous solution causes the excess solute to precipitate out of the solution as solid particles. This process is known as precipitation and helps to decrease the concentration of the solute in the solution, allowing for more solute to dissolve.
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 a solution that can dissolve no more than solute?
A saturated solution is one that can dissolve no more of the solute at a given temperature and pressure. This means that the maximum amount of solute has been dissolved in the solvent, and any additional solute will not dissolve and will instead form a precipitate.
What is it called when a solution has more dissolved solute than solution being compared?
The solution with more dissolved solute is more concentrated.
When a solvent is holding the maximum amount of solute for that given temperature?
A saturated solution
What is a solution in which more solute can be dissolved?
A solution in which more solute can be dissolved has not reached saturation. It is an unsaturated solution.
What is a super saturated?
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 difference between an unsaturated solution and a saturated solution?
An unsaturated solution has excess solvent and can still dissolve more solute.A saturated solution cannot dissolve any more solute, it will simply stay separate.
