A solution suddenly forms a precipitate when agitated It is supersaturated saturated unsaturated or concentrated?

The solution is supersaturated. This means it contains more solute than it would normally hold at the given temperature. Agitation causes the excess solute to come out of solution and form a precipitate.


Why do lakes and rivers do not freeze suddenly in winters?

Lakes, and to a lesser degree, rivers, freeze as the ambient temperature reduces below Zero. This never happens "suddenly" and it takes time for the water to assume the surrounding temperature.


What will happen is a single crystal is introduced into a super-saturated solution?

We often find that there is a limit to the quantity of solute which will dissolve in a given quantity of solvent. This is especially true when solids dissolve in liquids. For example, if 36 g KCl crystals is shaken with 100 g H2O at 25°C only 35.5 g of the solid dissolves. If we raise the temperature somewhat, all the KCl will dissolve, but on cooling to 25°C again, the extra 0.5 g KC1 will precipitate, leaving exactly 35.5 g of the salt dissolved. We describe this phenomenon by saying that at 25°C the solubility of KCl in H2O is 35.5 g KC1 per 100 g H2O. A solution of this composition is also described as a saturated solution since it can accommodate no more KCl. Under some circumstances it is possible to prepare a solution which behaves anomalously and contains more solute than a saturated solution. Such a solution is said to be supersaturated. A good example of supersaturation is provided by Na2S2O3, sodium thiosulfate, whose solubility at 25°C is 50 g Na2S2O3 per 100 g H2O. If 70 g Na2S2O3 crystals is dissolved in 100 g hot H2O and the solution cooled to room temperature, the extra 20 g Na2S2O3 usually does not precipitate. The resulting solution is supersaturated; consequently it is also unstable. It can be "seeded" by adding a crystal of Na2S2O3, whereupon the excess salt suddenly crystallizes and heat is given off. After the crystals have settled and the temperature has returned to 25°C, the solution above the crystals is a saturated solution-it contains 50 g Na2S2O3. Another example of crystallizing salt out of a supersaturated solution can be seen in the following video. In this case, a supersaturated solution of sodium acetate is poured over a crystals of sodium acetate. These crystals provide the lattice structure "seed" which causes the sodium acetate ions in solution to crystallize out. The video begins with a few crystals of sodium acetate placed on the lab bench. A supersaturated solution of sodium acetate is poured over the crystals providing a seed or crystallization. The salt begins to crystallize, forming a large sodium acetate structure from the precipitation of the ions out of solution. When the sodium acetate crystallizes, the oppositely charged ions are brought closer together by the crystal structure. Since formation of a crystal lattice lowers potential energy by placing like charges close together, the system releases the excess energy in the crystallization process. Thus, the structure ends up being warm to the touch from this excess energy.


If air is at 75 degrees holding maximum moisture and the temperature suddenly drops to 60 degrees what is likely to be the result?

Well, that really couldn't happen...certainly not 15 degrees, anyway. If it tried to drop so rapidly you'd end up getting thick fog at the surface. Depending on what the temperature in the rest of the atmosphere is doing, I could give you more information about clouds and such. In other words, what is causing such a drop?


What is a marcoburst?

A marcoburst is a burst of energy or activity that occurs suddenly and intensely. It is often used to describe a rapid increase in demand or usage of a service or product.
