The salt reacts with the water that would go toward acting as a solvent for the organic molecule. The inorganic salt is more "thirsty" than the organic molecule and deprives the soap of sufficient water to keep it soluble. This causes the soap to precipitate.

Can sugar be obtained by crystallisation?

Yes. As sugar can be charred by heat, we can't use evaporation. In crystallization, the mixture is heated until a concentrated mixture is obtained. Then the mixture is left to cool so that the excess solid particles in the mixture will precipitate out as crystals. eg. sugar from sugar solution


Is a can of frozen juice a concentrated or dilute solution?

Concentrated solution because it is a strong solution. It has a large amount of solute which fits the definition of concentrated solution.


Why does adding a salt solution to the saponification mixture cause the salt to precipitate?

When a salt solution is added to the saponification mixture, the presence of excess ions from the salt solution can disrupt the balance within the mixture. This disruption can lead to the formation of insoluble salts, which precipitate out of the solution. The precipitation of the salt helps separate it from the soap and other components of the mixture.


What is the best describes A mixture that has a lot of substance dissolved in it?

A concentrated solution.


Why is it necessary to cool the solution to room temperature in precipitate formation?

Cooling the solution to room temperature slows down the motion of the particles in the solution, allowing more time for the particles to come together and form a precipitate. It also helps to prevent impurities from contaminating the precipitate.

A solution that contains a large amount of solute compared to solvent is described as what?

A solution with a large amount of solute compared to solvent is described as concentrated. This means that there is a high ratio of solute to solvent molecules in the mixture.


What is an example of the formation of a precipitate?

When a solid is formed from two liquids, that is called a precipitate.


What is solution and crystallization?

A solution is a homogenous mixture composed of two or more substances dissolved in a solvent. Crystallization is the process of forming solid crystals from a solution, typically by cooling the solution to allow the solute to precipitate out in a crystalline form.


What Factors that influence the purity of a precipitate?

Factors that influence the purity of a precipitate include the solubility of the precipitate in the reaction mixture, the pH of the solution, the presence of impurities or competing ions, the temperature of the reaction, and the rate of precipitation. Proper isolation techniques and careful control of these factors are essential to ensure the purity of the precipitate.
