Chapter 11, Problem 46QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The process to prepare a supersaturated solution of ammonium chloride is to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Solubility is the property of a substance in its solid or liquid or gaseous state called solute to dissolve in a liquid (also in solid or gas) called the solvent. A solute dissolved in a solvent gives a solution. The amount of solute dissolved in a solvent depends on the structure, temperature and pressure of the solute and attractive force between solute and solvent. A solution can be defined as supersaturated solution if it contains more than the maximum amount of dissolved solute in a solvent at a certain temperature.
