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_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_forward
- A solution is defined as a homogeneous mixture. Is a small sample of air a solution? Is the atmosphere a solution?arrow_forwardAddition of water to concentrated sulfuric acid is dangerous because it generates enough heat to boil the water, causing it to spatter out of the container. For this reason, chemists remember to add acid to water. In a dilution experiment, we calculate the amount of the more concentrated solution that must be measured out. If we place this concentrated solution (Figure 4.7) in the volumetric flask first, then dilute with water, we violate the caution Add acid to water. Describe a safer variation on the method shown in Figure 4.7 that allows the quantitative dilution of concentrated sulfuric acid. Figure 4.7 Preparing a dilute solution from a concentrated solution. (a) Draw the concentrated solution into a pipet to a level just above the calibration mark. (b) Allow the liquid to settle down to the calibration line. Touch the tip of the pipet to the side of the container to remove any extra liquid. (c) Transfer this solution to a volumetric flask. Again touch the pipet to the wall of the flask to ensure complete transfer, but do not blow out the pipet because it is calibrated for a small amount of liquid to remain in the tip. (d) Dilute to the mark with solvent. Frequently, especially with concentrated acids, it is best to have some solvent present in the volumetric flask before you add the concentrated sample.arrow_forwardCalcium carbonate, CaCO3, can be obtained in a very pure state. Standard solutions of calcium ion are usually prepared by dissolving calcium carbonate in acid. What mass of CaCO3 should be taken to prepare 500. mL of 0.0200 M calcium ion solution?arrow_forward
