Define a saturated solution. Does saturated mean the same thing as saying the solution is concentrated? Explain. Why does a solute dissolve only to a particular extent in water? How does formation of a saturated solution represent an equilibrium?
Interpretation:
The definition of saturated solution is to be stated. Whether the saturated and the concentrated solution is the same or not is to be stated. The explanation for the correct validation is to be stated. The reason corresponding to the fact that a solute gets dissolved only to a particular extent in water is to be stated. The method by which the formation of a saturated solution represents equilibrium is to be stated.
Concept Introduction:
Solution may be defined as the mixture of a minor component which is known as solute and the major component that is known as solvent. The solute is uniformly distributed in the solvent. The solution can be categorized as saturated solution or unsaturated solution.
The solution that contains the maximum amount of solute in the solution and if more solute is added to the solution, the solute will not dissolve is known as saturated solution.
No, the saturated and the concentrated solution is not the same thing because saturated solution contains that maximum amount of solute after which no more solute is able to dissolve in the solvent. On the other hand, a concentrated solution consists of lot of solute that is dissolved in the solvent. It does not refer to the point of maximum concentration...
