water would have a much lower density than a solution with multiple things in it. fo example, oil is less dense than water, so it floats on top, but sand is more dense, so it sinks. depending on what is solution compared to the water, sand might float, or it is really low density oil might even sink. what i am saying is, it depends what the solution is. but the big picture is the difference in density between 2 objects. glad to help out

Why do you add more water to saturated solution if it wont dissolve more things?

Adding more water to a saturated solution dilutes the concentration of the solute, which can help to induce some of the dissolved solute to precipitate out of the solution. This process can be helpful in isolating the solute or recovering it in a purer form for further processing.

What part of speech is identical?

The word "identical" is an adjective. It is used to describe two or more things that are exactly alike in every way.


What are examples of saturated solutions?

When you put salt in water as a home remedy for mouth sores, and you put usually so much that you can see salt at the bottom whatever you do. You might even shake for hours and there is still salt in the bottom, this is called a saturated solution. Trust me I can remember things from 5th grade and I'm sure i answered correctly


What helps dissolve a saturated solution?

This question is perhaps a little confused. A saturated solution means that no more substance can be dissolved into it. The solution itself therefore - saturated or otherwise - does not need to be dissolved. The question remains that if we have a saturated solution, how do we dissolve more stuff into it? If I have a litre of water and put in 359g of salt, it is now saturated. You can find this information on wikipedia for most common substances, it's on the right-side under "Solubility in water". Anyhow, how can we put in more than 359g of salt? We can raise the temperature of the water. That's easy but raising the temperature means you should be careful not to destroy your product or boil off your water. You don't always have to use water, either. Some things dissolve better in other solvents. If you want to dissolve oil, water isn't going to do a lot for you, but Hexane might. That's why we use nail polish remover (Acetone) instead of just washing our fingers in water. Polar things like to dissolve in polar solvents. And non-polar things in non-polar solvents. Things that are both polar and non-polar (amphiphiles) can be used to dissolve polar things into non-polar solvents and vice versa. This is why we use detergent to remove fats from dishes using water, which would otherwise not mix. Finally, pressure can matter but that's really just for gases and is probably beyond the scope of this question.

What do you expect to observe when a solution of potassium nitrate saturated at 343k or 70 degree celsius is cooled to room temperature?

Well, isn't that just a happy little question! When you cool a saturated solution of potassium nitrate from 70 degrees Celsius to room temperature, you can expect to see some of the potassium nitrate start to come out of the solution and form crystals. It's like nature's way of showing us how beautiful and orderly things can be when they slow down and cool off. Just like painting a serene winter scene, the crystals will slowly appear and bring a sense of peace and tranquility to the solution.


What are the three types of solutions?

1. Gaseous Solution- includes gases or vapors dissolved in one another. Two or more gases can form a solution. Air is an example of a gaseous solution. When dry is made up of oxygen gas dissolved in nitrogen gas. 2. Liquid Solution- contain a liquid solvent in which gas, liquid, or solid is dissolved. Water is the most common liquid solution. Many things can be dissolved in it. Table salt is an example of a solid dissolved in a liquid. A liquid and a gas can also be dissolved in a liquid solution. 3. Solid Solution- is a mixture of solids spread equally throughout one another. Metal is an example of a solid solution at room temperature.


Are congruent things identical?

Yes. It is a confusing subject though because many people make the mistake of thinking similar things are identical while it's the total opposite.


What happens to a solution when it is supersaturated?

A saturated solution can dissolve more when you increase its temperature and less when you decrease. When hot saturated solution is cooled to zero degrees Celsius, or beyond it the solubility of the solvent will decrease and precipitate until it forms a solid.A saturated solution is one that has reached its saturation level for a specific solute (what is dissolved in it). The saturation level depends on the temperature and different solutes have different saturation levels at different temperatures.When a saturated solution is cooled, one of two things can happen.If the temperature drop reduces the saturation level, the liquid will be supersaturated and some of the dissolved substance will precipitate out of the solution and you will eventually see particles or crystals floating on top or settling on bottom of the liquid.If the temperature drop is slow enough and the liquid is not disturbed, it may become supersaturated but retain the solute. The amount of solute will exceed the saturation level. Any disturbance can start the precipitation such as shaking or dropping something into the solution.


What are four types of solution?

Saturated solution is the ideal type of solution. The other is unsaturated, which is less saturated than what the solvent (water, liquid etc.), and it can dilute. The last one is supersaturated which mean the solution contains more solute (solid materials).


What Does Similaties Mean?

Similarities are things that are the same without being identical.
