By incerasing the temperature of the solution
Change the temperature.
(for gasses, changing the (ambient) pressure also works)
The solution is said to be unsaturated. If the max amount is dissolved at a given temperature, then the solution is saturated.
Heat up the solvent. Solubility of most solid solutes increases with temperatue.
The maximum amount of solute is dissolved in it-apex
I know this because our class just did a lab and I wrote a 15 page paper on this. Essentially, when you make a supersaturated solution, you heat a saturated solution up until it is realls UNsaturated, and then you add more solute to bring the heated solution CLOSE, but not TO, saturation. Then you cool the solution down gently, without agitating it, and if you're lucky, none of the solute will precipitate, making the solution, of course, supersaturated. Now, the balance between these particles is really frail. So if you add more solute to the supersat. solution, all of the originally dissolved solid(only the solid that you put in the hot solution) will crystallize. Basically, one moment there will be a tiny crystal in a test tube full of liquid, and the next moment the test tube will be half full with crystals. sooo....yeah
When a solid is dissolved in a liquid, the liquid is said to be the solvent and the solid is to be the solute. The liquid that you get after dissolving the solid into the liquid is called the solution. When a solute dissolves, the solvent particles attract the particles of the solute away which breaks the cluster of particles apart. After dissolving enough amount that the solvent cannot dissolve more, the solution is said to be saturated. It is the state when the solution cannot dissolve anymore solute. The opposite of solution is suspension. A suspension is when the solute cannot be dissolved (that is, it is insoluble) into the solvent and stays suspended in the solvent. A suspension is translucent and the suspended particles can be easily seen. While, in a solution, the particles are soluble and complete dissolve into the solvent. A solution is transparent and the particles are too small to be seen through naked eyes.
A saturated solution
A saturated solution
the solute can re-form as a solid
The solute normally doesn't dissolve and sinks to the bottom of the container. However, some saturated solutions can become super-saturated for a given temperature and pressure, by altering the conditions without allowing solute to precipitate.
Saturated
The solution is said to be unsaturated. If the max amount is dissolved at a given temperature, then the solution is saturated.
Increasing the temperature the solubility increase.
If it is solid at room temperature but melts when heated.
When the maximum amount of solid (solute) is dissolved in a solvent, the resulting solution is said to be saturated.
If it is saturated with a solid solute, you would expect some of the solid to precipitate out - as long as the solid could find a surface to nucleate on. If it is saturated with a gas, you would expect more gas to dissolve into it as long as it was still in contact with the saturating gas in the gas phase.
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.
