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.

- 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_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_forwardDescribe the changes that occur between the time excess solute is placed into water and the time the solution becomes saturated.arrow_forward
- Every pure substance has a definite and fixed set of physical and chemical properties. A solution is prepared by dissolving one pure substance in another. Is it reasonable to expect that the solution will also have a definite and fixed set of properties that are different from the properties of either component? Explain your answer.arrow_forwardThe 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_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_forward
- . The “Chemistry in Focus” segment Water, Water Everywhere, Bu . . . discusses the desalinization of ocean water. Explain why many sails are soluble in water. Include molecular-level diagrams in your answer.arrow_forwardUse the term soluble, insoluble, or immiscible to describe the behavior of the following pairs of substances when they are shaken together: a.25mL of cooking oil and 25mL of vinegar the resulting mixture is cloudy and gradually separates into two layers. b.25mL of water and 10mL of rubbing alcohol the resulting mixture is clear and colorless. c.25mL of chloroform and 1g of roofing tar the resulting mixture is clear but dark brown in color.arrow_forward
