When we discussed LeChatelier's Principle, we discussed the concept of supersaturated solutions. A supersaturated solution is prepared when sodium acetate is dissolved in hot water at around 80 deg C, and then the solution is cooled to room temperature. Since no precipitation occurs, the solution is supersaturated. The reaction is heat + sodium acetate (s) + H20 (liq) sodium acetate (aq). If you disturb the supersaturated solution of sodium acetate, which of the following statements is true?
