At 17 °C, a solid substance has a solubility of 58 g per 100 mL of water. A solution of this solid is prepared by dissolving 75 g in 100 mL of water at 79 °C. When the solution is slowly cooled to 17 °C, no solid separates. The solution is supersaturated at 17 °C. unsaturated at 17 °C. saturated at 17 °C. O supersaturated at 79 °C.

Expert Solution
Step 1

The solubility product of salt is a constant at a given temperature irrespective of the source from which ions originate. If the ionic product is greater than the solubility product, then the solution gets precipitated. However, when the ionic product is equal to the solubility product, then the solution is just saturated.
