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.

How soft drink a super saturated solution?

To make a super saturated solution of a soft drink, you would need to heat the soft drink to a high temperature to dissolve more solute (sugar or flavoring) than would normally be possible at room temperature. Then, cool the solution slowly to allow the excess solute to remain dissolved, creating a super saturated solution.

Yes, it is possible; these solutions are very frequent.


How do you make a super saturate solution?

To Make a super saturated solution, you must saturate the solution fully by adding to solute to the solvent until no more dissolves. You then heat the solution and add more solute until there is undissolved solid remaining. let the solution cool, you will have a super saturated solution.
