What does it mean for a solution to be supersaturated apex?
A supersaturated solution has more solute dissolved in it than what would normally be possible under equilibrium conditions. This can happen when a solution is prepared at high temperatures and then cooled down quickly, preventing the excess solute from precipitating out.
Why are supersaturates unstable?
They are holding more solute than can normally be dissolved.
What are the 3 degrees of saturation?
Unsaturated: All the solute that can normally be dissolved in a solvent at any given temperature has not been reached.Saturated: Containing all the solute that can normally be dissolved in a solvent at any given temperature.Supersaturated: Containing more solute than what can normally be dissolved in a solvent at any given temperature.
What is the word for when no more solute can be dissolved?
Absolute solute - noun- when no more solute can be dissolved.
What is the relationship between solute solvent solution saturated unsaturated and supersaturated?
A solute dissolves in a solvent to form a solution; all the time that more of the solute can be dissolved it is unsaturated, but once the solution can hold no more of the solute it has become saturated.
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).
Can a supersaturated solution hold less solute than it normally can?
No. A supersaturated solution holds more solute than the solvent could normally hold.
An unstable solution containg more than the maximum amount of didolved solute is a saturated solution?
An unstable solution containing more than the maximum amount of dissolved solute is referred to as a supersaturated solution, not a saturated solution. A saturated solution has dissolved the maximum amount of solute that can be held at a given temperature and pressure, while a supersaturated solution temporarily holds more solute than is normally possible. This condition is unstable, and the excess solute can precipitate out if disturbed or if conditions change.
What is A solution in which more solute mat be dissolved at a given temperatur is a?
A saturated solution is one in which more solute cannot be dissolved at a given temperature. If more solute can be dissolved at that temperature, it is called a supersaturated solution.
What does it mean to say a solution is concentrated?
If a solution is concentrated a lot of solute is dissolved in the solvent. More solute can still be dissolved, though. If no more solute could be dissolved, you have a saturated solution.
What is it called when candy solution cools and extra solute remains dissolved?
This is called supersaturation. It occurs when a solution contains more solute than it can normally hold at a given temperature, and when the solution cools down, the excess solute remains dissolved until disturbed.
What does it mean for a solution to be super saturated?
Under some circumstances it is possible to dissolve more of a solute into a solution than the nominal solubility of that solute would allow. A saturated solution is one that contains all the solute that will normally dissolve, and a supersaturated solution contains even more of that solute. If the solution is disturbed in some way (the appearance of a nucleating particle, stirring, etc.) then the excess solute will precipitate from the solution, or in the case of a gas, will bubble out of the solution.
