a.
To determine:
Whether throwing a pinch of salt into a pot of boiling water represent a saturated solution.
Introduction:
A solution is a homogeneous mixture comprising of solute and solvent. If a solution does not contain maximum amount of solute that solvent can hold, then the solution is referred as unsaturated. If a solution contains all the solute that can possibly dissolve, then the solution is referred as saturated.
b.
To determine:
Whether a layer of sugar that forms at the bottom of a glass of tea as ice is added represents a saturated solution.
Introduction:
A solution is a homogeneous mixture comprising of solute and solvent. If a solution does not contain maximum amount of solute that solvent can hold, then the solution is referred as unsaturated. If a solution contains all the solute that can possibly dissolve, then the solution is referred as saturated.
