a.
To determine:
Whether a piece of rock salt that does not change in size when added to a salt solution 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.
b.
To determine:
Whether a teaspoon of honey dissolves in hot tea 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.

- The following diagrams show varying amounts of the same solute (the red spheres) in varying amounts of solution. a. In which of the diagrams is the solution concentration the largest? b. In which two of the diagrams are the solution concentrations the same?arrow_forwardYou make a saturated solution of NaCl at 25 C. No solid is present in the beaker holding the solution. What can be done to increase the amount of dissolved NaCl in this solution? (See Figure 13.11.) (a) Add more solid NaCl. (b) Raise the temperature of the solution. (c) Raise the temperature of the solution, and add some NaCl. (d) Lower the temperature of the solution, and add some NaCl. Figure 13.11 The temperature dependence of the solubility of some ionic compounds in wafer. The solubility of most ionic compounds increases with increasing temperature This is illustrated using NH4CI (ports b and c).arrow_forwardGraph Table 14.10 shows solubility data that was collectedin an experiment. Plot a graph of the molarity ofKI versus temperature. What is the solubility of KI at55°C?arrow_forward
- What happens if you add a very small amount of solid salt (NaCl) to each beaker described below? Include a statement comparing the amount of solid eventually found in the beaker with the amount you added: a a beaker containing saturated NaCl solution, b a beaker with unsaturated NaCl solution, c a beaker containing supersaturated NaCl solution. A saturated sodium chloride solution.arrow_forward. 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_forwardCalculate the percent by mass of KBr in a saturated solution of KBr in water at 10 °C. See Figure 11.17 for useful data, and report the computed percentage to one significant digit.arrow_forward
- Classify each of the following solutions as saturated, unsaturated, or supersaturated based on the following observations. a. Agitation of the solution produces a large amount of solid crystals. b. H eating the solution causes excess undissolved solute present to dissolve. c. Excess undissolved solute is present at the bottom of the solution container. d. The amount of solute dissolved is less than the maximum amount that could dissolve under the conditions at which the solution exists.arrow_forwardHow are the boiling point and freezing point of water affected by the addition of solute?arrow_forward
