Interpretation:
Why is it true that when a dissolving and precipitation process is at equilibrium, the solution is saturated needs to be explained.
Concept introduction:
The mathematical relationship between the products and reactants in an equilibrium is given as,
Answer to Problem 4RE
It is true that when a dissolving and precipitation process is at equilibrium, the solution is saturated because, in equilibrium on adding solute further, it will precipitate.
Explanation of Solution
A reaction is in equilibrium when the rates of forward and reverse reactions are the same. When a dissolving and precipitation process is at equilibrium, the solution is saturated. It is because, in equilibrium on adding solute further, it will precipitate.
When a dissolving and precipitation process is at equilibrium, the solution is saturated. This statement is true.
