A supersaturated solution of sucrose (C12H22O11) is made by dissolving sucrose in hot water and slowly letting the solution cool to room temperature. After a long time, the excess sucrose crystallizes out of the solution. Indicate whether each of the following statements is true or false: After the excess sucrose has crystallized out, the system is now unstable and is not in equilibrium.

Maple syrup sap is 3% sugar (sucrose) and 97% water bymass. Maple syrup is produced by heating the sap toevaporate a certain amount of the water. (a) Describe what happens to the composition and boilingpoint of the solution as evaporation takes place. (b) A rule of thumb among maple syrup producers is thatthe finished syrup should boil about 4 C higher than theoriginal sap being boiled. Explain the chemistry behindthis guideline. (c) If the finished product boils 4 C higher than the originalsap, calculate the concentration of sugar in the finalproduct. Assume that sugar is the only solute and theoperation is done at 1 atm pressure.
