Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The solution has to be labeled as saturated, unsaturated or supersaturated solution.
Concept Introduction:
Solution: A solution is a homogeneous mixture that contains small particles and liquid solutions are transparent in nature.
The three different types of solutions are,
Unsaturated Solution: A solution that contains less than the maximum number of grams per solute in solvent at a given temperature is called as unsaturated solution.
Saturated solution: A solutions that contains the maximum number of grams of solute that can dissolve in solvent at given temperature is called as saturated solution.
Supersaturated solution: A solution that has more than the maximum number of grams of solute that can dissolve in a solvent at given temperature is called as supersaturated solution.
(b)
Interpretation:
The solution has to be labeled as saturated, unsaturated or supersaturated solution.
Concept Introduction:
Refer to part (a).
(c)
Interpretation:
The solution has to be labeled as saturated, unsaturated or supersaturated solution.
Concept Introduction:
Refer to part (a).

- . Why does the amount of excess solid solute present in a solution not affect the amount of solute that ultimately dissolves in a given amount of solvent?arrow_forwardCalcium carbonate, CaCO3, can be obtained in a very pure state. Standard solutions of calcium ion are usually prepared by dissolving calcium carbonate in acid. What mass of CaCO3 should be taken to prepare 500. mL of 0.0200 M calcium ion solution?arrow_forwardThe solubility of ammonium formate, NH4CHO2, in 100. g of water is 102 g at 0 C and 546 g at 80 C. A solution is prepared by dissolving NH4CHO2 in 200. g of water until no more will dissolve at 80 C. The solution is then cooled to 0 C. What mass of NH4CHO2 precipitates? (Assume that no water evaporates and that the solution is not supersaturated.)arrow_forward
- Refer to Figure 13.10 ( Sec. 13-4b) to answer these questions. (a) Does a saturated solution occur when 65.0 g LiCl is present in 100 g H2O at 40 C? Explain your answer. (b) Consider a solution that contains 95.0 g LiCl in 100 g H2O at 40 C. Is the solution unsaturated, saturated, or supersaturated? Explain your answer. (c) Consider a solution that contains 50. g Li2SO4 in 200. g H2O at 50 C. Is this solution unsaturated, saturated, or supersaturated? Explain your answer. Figure 13.10 Solubility of ionic compounds versus temperature.arrow_forwardClassify each of the following solutions as saturated, unsaturated, or supersaturated based on the following observations made after adding a small piece of solid solute to the solution. a. The added solute rapidly dissolves. b. The added solute falls to the bottom of the container where it remains without any decrease in size. c. The added solute falls to the bottom of the container where it decreases in size for several hours and thereafter its size remains constant. d. The added solute causes the production of a large amount of solid white crystals.arrow_forwardDescribe the changes that occur between the time excess solute is placed into water and the time the solution becomes saturated.arrow_forward
- Consider a 1.50-g mixture of magnesium nitrate and magnesium chloride. After dissolving this mixture in water, 0.500 M silver nitrate is added dropwise until precipitate formation is complete. The mass of the white precipitate formed is 0.641 g. a. Calculate the mass percent of magnesium chloride in the mixture. b. Determine the minimum volume of silver nitrate that must have been added to ensure complete formation of the precipitate.arrow_forwardMaple 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.arrow_forward
