What happens when you add more solute to an unsaturated solution?

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

∙ 13y agoAll that would happen is the solute would not absorb into the solution and it would spill off eventually.

∙ 14y agoIf the solution is saturated and its ionic product becomes greater than its solubility product
then the precipitation of solute will take place.

When a solvent can dissolve no more of a solid solute at a specific temperature we say the solution is?
The solution is said to be unsaturated. If the max amount is dissolved at a given temperature, then the solution is saturated.
When you add so much solute that no more dissolves what do you have?
A saturated solution is made when you have added so much solute that no more dissolves. The amount of solute needed to make a saturated solution will change with the temperature of the solution.
What visible evidence indicates that a solution is saturated?
If more solute is added to the solution and the solute remains undissolved, then you know that solution is saturated.
What happens when you add more solute to a solvent?
The addition of solute to a solvent concentrates the overall solution. A nice example is the laundry detergent. Some (less) concentrated detergents are less viscous, while highly concentrated detergents are more viscous (greater density). Also, adding more solute to a solvent can lower the freezing point.
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 is a solution in which more solute can be dissolved?
A solution in which more solute can be dissolved has not reached saturation. It is an unsaturated solution.
What is unsaturated solute?
such solution which can dissolve more solute at a given temperature is called as unsaturated solution.
What is an unsaturated solutions?
Such solution which can dissolve more solute at a given temperature is called as unsaturated solution. A solution that can still dissolve more solute
What is a solution in which you can dissolve more solute?
An unsaturated solution
What is a solution called that can hold more solute than it already contains?
The solvent can hold more solute when it is heated. Because on heating the solubility of a solvent increases.
If crystal solute was dropped into a solution and it was dissolved The original solution was?
If the crystal solute was dropped into a solution and it was dissolved, the original solution was unsaturated. Unsaturated solutions are able to dissolve more solute.
Solution in which more solute can be dissolved?
Unsaturated
If solution A has more solute and less water than Solution B the solution A is?
unsaturated.
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 solution that contains a high concentration of a solute but that can hold even more solute is?
An unsaturated solution
A solution that contains a high concentration of solute but can hold even more solute is?
An unsaturated solution
Can more solute be dissolve in an unsaturated solution?
Yes
