make a fully saturated solution, then add more. after adding, greatly heat up the solution and stir it to dissolve more salt. when it cools down, you have a supersaturated solution. word of caution, if you put any kind of crystal structure in this solution, then the excess will crystalize back out.

What makes dry ice and cola react?
Dry ice is solid carbon dioxide (CO2); cola is a super-saturated solution of carbon dioxide (and other things). If you add a crystal of salt to a supersaturated salt solution, the extra salt dissolved in the water will start crystallizing around that "seed" crystal you added and come out of solution. Relatedly, when you add solid/gaseous pure CO2 to a supersaturated CO2 solution, the extra dissolved CO2 will start coming out of solution, prompted by the addition of pure CO2.
If a solute crystallizes out of a solution when seed crystal is added what kind of solution is it?
It is a supersaturated solution. These solutions are formed when a saturated solution with excess solute in it (like saltwater with extra salt on the bottom) is heated until all the solute dissolves. When the solution is cooled, the extra solute remains in solution--thus supersaturated because more solute is dissolved than should be at that temperature. The seed crystal provides an opportunity for the extra solute to come out of solution.
What happens to the salt in the salt solution after the water has evaporated?
In an unsaturated solution, the salt becomes more and more concentrated until the solution is completely saturated. If evaporation continues to occur, then the salt will either precipitate or the solution will become "supersaturated."
Chemical composition of epsom salt?
Was: the composition of epsom salt is magnesium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid Should be: Epsom Salts are Magnesium sulfate, usually with some water attached to it. Magnesium hydroxide is a base, hydrochloric acid is an acid. When Hydrochoric acid is not in water, it's a gas at normal temperatures - thus not able to be made into a dry powder. Acid + Base = salt + water. In this case it would make Magnesium Chloride + water.
What are the ingredients in epsom salt?
Epsom salt is hydrated magnesium sulfate - MgSO4.7H2O.
How can you make a supersaturated epsom salt solution?
To get a supersaturated solution you can either cool down the solution or let some of the water evaporate. To begin, make some Epsom salt crystals. These are easy to grow and you will begin to see crystals in a couple of hours. Start with one cup of warm distilled water (not boiling).
What has the greatest salinity?
A supersaturated salt solution.
What is the pH of Epsom salt when mixed with water?
The water solution of Epsom salt is neutral.
What physically happens in a supersaturated solution of salt in water?
Salt will crystalize out.
What does 50 grams of salt and 200 mL of water make?
probably a supersaturated solution if you heat it to dissolve all of the salt
Is Epsom salt and water a mixture or a solution?
Epsom salt is a chemical compound (magnesium sulfate heptahydrate, MgSO4.7H2O) not a mixture.
Can you change a solution into suspension by adding more salt to water?
A stirred supersaturated solution can be considered as a suspension.
How much epsom salt is in the saturated solution?
50 grams
Can you make an Epsom salt water pool?
The usual reason for salt in a pool is for chlorination. Epsom salt won't work with salt/chlorine generators. BUT, you can add epsom salt to your water.
How are Epsom salt and table salt the same?
No. While not poisonous, Epsom salt is not sodium chloride; it is magnesium sulfate.
What happens when you add solute to supersaturated solution?
The solute can re-form as a solid.
What is the pH of Epsom salts?
The pH of Magnesium Sulfate is: 4.5 (3.5 to 6.5).
