Answer:
NH4Cl is the solute, and the solution is unsaturated.
Explanation:
To create a saturated solution of ammonium chloride at 70°C, we need to dissolve 62 g of ammonium chloride in 100 g of water.
The question tells us that 45 grams of NH4Cl was dissolved in 100 grams of H20 at 70°C. This creates an unsaturated solution since the amount of solute present is less than the amount of solute that the NH4Cl solution can normally hold at 70°C.
Hence, NH4Cl is the solute, and the solution is unsaturated.
