How can a saturated solution become supersaturated?

How a saturated solution can become 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.


What will eventually happen to a supersaturated solution?

The solute will eventually fall out of a supersaturated solution


A supersaturated solution contains less dissolved solute than a saturated solution at the same temperature?

In a supersaturated solution, the solute concentration exceeds the saturation point at that temperature. This is achieved by dissolving the solute in a hot solution and then slowly cooling it down without allowing the excess solute to precipitate out. A saturated solution has the maximum amount of solute that can be dissolved at a given temperature.


Is a Solution that holds more solute than it normally would be saturated solution?

No, if it holds MORE than it should it is supersaturated.The term supersaturation refers to a solution that contains more of the dissolved material than could be dissolved by the solvent under normal circumstances.Saturation is the point at which a solution of a substance can dissolve no more of that substance (under normal circumstances) and additional amounts of it will appear as a precipitate.

What do we call a solution that has as many ions as it can hold?

This is a saturated solution.


How would you then make it a supersaturated solution?

To make a supersaturated solution, you would first dissolve the maximum amount of solute in the solvent at an elevated temperature to increase solubility. Then, slowly cool the solution down without disturbing it to prevent the excess solute from precipitating out, creating a supersaturated solution.


What are a few examples of a supersaturated solution?

A supersaturated solution can be obtained when a saturated solution which is in contact with its solid, is slightly heated in order to increase the solubility product, followed by quick cooling.
