A solution is a homogeneous mixture of one or more solutes dissolved in a solvent. A specific volume of solvent is only able to dissolve a limited amount of solute. As long as the solvent is able to dissolve more solute, the solution remains unsaturated. When the solvent can no longer dissolve additional solute, the solution is saturated. At this point, any additional solute will fall to the bottom of the container. The amount of solute that can be dissolved in a given amount of solvent at a specific temperature and pressure is defined as the solubility of the solute.Based on the information here, if 220 grams of the salt KBr are added to 100 mL of water at 100oC, we would label that solution as
A) insoluble
B) saturated
C) supersaturated
D) unsaturated

Respuesta :

Answer;

C. Supersaturated

Explanation;

  • Solutions are homogeneous mixtures that are created by mixing a solute and a solvent. Solute is the substance present in smaller amounts that dissolves in a solvent such as water which is the substance present in larger amount.
  • A solution, can be unsaturated, saturated or supersaturated. An unsaturated solution is a solution that contains less solute that can be dissolved, it doesn't contain the maximum amount of solute.
  • A saturated solution is a solution containing the maximum amount of solute that can be dissolved at a given temperature. Any additional solute will remain undissolved in the container.
  • A supersaturated solution is a solution created when a solution is carefully cooled because it contains more solute than the solubility allows.
