The solubility of sodium acetate at 20 oC is 54,6 g/100 g water. If you add further solute and this is no longer dissolved the solution is supersaturated.
Supersaturated
A supersaturated solution is obtained.
This is a saturated solution.
To make a supersaturated solution, you would first dissolve the maximum amount of solute in the solvent at an elevated temperature to increase solubility. Then, slowly cool the solution down without disturbing it to prevent the excess solute from precipitating out, creating a supersaturated solution.
A supersaturated solution is when there is more solute present in the solution than can be absorbed by the solvent. When it is disturbed, all of the solute that is not in solution falls out, sometimes forming crystals.
The solute will eventually fall out of a supersaturated solution
The solute will eventually fall out of a supersaturated solution
Adding more solute the solution become supersaturated.
Supersaturated
A solution become supersaturated when the limitt of solute solubility at a given temperature is exceeded.
A supersaturated solution has a concentration of solute greater than the solubility at a specific temperature.
The pH of the 0.1 M solution of NaC2H3O2 would be higher than that of the 0.1 M solution of KC2H3O2 as NaC2H3O2 is a strong base and will increase the pH, while KC2H3O2 is a weak acid and will decrease the pH.
A supersaturated solution is obtained.
How a saturated solution can become supersaturated?
A supersaturated solution contain an amount of solute higher than the limit of solubility at a given temperature and pressure.
This is a saturated solution.
