Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The given solution is either saturated or not has to be explained.
Concept introduction:
Saturated solution is the solution that contains maximum quantity of solute dissolved in the solvent. In the given volume of saturated solution amount of solute dissolved in the solvent called solubility. Here, the pure solute is in equilibrium with the solution
Unsaturated solution is the solution that contains less quantity of solute than saturated solution. Here, the solute is less than the equilibrium concentration of solute
Supersaturated solution contains more solute than solute present in the saturated solution. Here, the solute is more than the equilibrium concentration of solute

- Some lithium chloride, LiCl, is dissolved in 100 mL of water in one beaker, and some Li2SO4 is dissolved in 100 mL of water in another beaker. Both are at 10 C, and both are saturated solutions; some solid remains undissolved in each beaker. Describe what you would observe as the temperature is raised. The following data are available to you from a handbook of chemistry:arrow_forwardRefer to Figure 13.10 ( Sec. 13-4b) to answer these questions. (a) Does a saturated solution occur when 65.0 g LiCl is present in 100 g H2O at 40 C? Explain your answer. (b) Consider a solution that contains 95.0 g LiCl in 100 g H2O at 40 C. Is the solution unsaturated, saturated, or supersaturated? Explain your answer. (c) Consider a solution that contains 50. g Li2SO4 in 200. g H2O at 50 C. Is this solution unsaturated, saturated, or supersaturated? Explain your answer. Figure 13.10 Solubility of ionic compounds versus temperature.arrow_forwardThe solubility of ammonium formate, NH4CHO2, in 100. g of water is 102 g at 0 C and 546 g at 80 C. A solution is prepared by dissolving NH4CHO2 in 200. g of water until no more will dissolve at 80 C. The solution is then cooled to 0 C. What mass of NH4CHO2 precipitates? (Assume that no water evaporates and that the solution is not supersaturated.)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_forwardA compound has a solubility in water of 250 mg/L at 25C. Should this compound be characterized as a soluble or insoluble compound at 25C?arrow_forwardWhen solutions of BaCl2 and Na2SO4 are mixed, the mixture becomes cloudy. After a few days, a white solid is observed on the bottom of the beaker with a clear liquid above it. (a) Write a balanced equation for the reaction that occurs. (b) Why is the solution cloudy at first? (c) What happens during the few days of waiting?arrow_forward
- A sample of water contains 0.010 ppm lead ions, Pb2+. (a) Calculate the mass of lead ions per liter in this solution.(Assume the density of the water solution is 1.0 g/mL.) (b) Calculate the mass fraction of lead in ppb.arrow_forwardFor each of the following pairs of solutions, select the solution for which solute solubility is greatest. a. Ammonia gas in water with P = 1 atm and T = 50C Ammonia gas in water with P = 1 atm and T = 90C b. Carbon dioxide gas in water with P = 2 atm and T = 50C Carbon dioxide gas in water with P = 1 atm and T = 50C c. Table salt in water with P = 1 atm and T = 60C Table salt in water with P = 1 atm and T = 50C d. Table sugar in water with P = 2 atm and T = 40C Table sugar in water with P = 1 atm and T = 70Carrow_forwardClassify each of the following solutions as saturated, unsaturated, or supersaturated based on the following observations made after adding a small piece of solid solute to the solution. a. The added solute rapidly dissolves. b. The added solute falls to the bottom of the container where it remains without any decrease in size. c. The added solute falls to the bottom of the container where it decreases in size for several hours and thereafter its size remains constant. d. The added solute causes the production of a large amount of solid white crystals.arrow_forward
