Chapter 13, Problem 40E

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The solution that contains $\text{100}\text{g}{\text{NaC}}_{\text{2}}{\text{H}}_{\text{3}}{\text{O}}_{\text{2}}$ in $\text{100}\text{g}$ of water at $25\text{°C}$ is saturated, unsaturated, or supersaturated is to be predicted.

Concept introduction:

The term unsaturated is used for the solution in which more solute can be added. The term saturated is used for the solution in which no more solute can be added. The term supersaturated is used for the solution in which solute is added more than its solubility.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The solution that contains $\text{100}\text{g}{\text{NaC}}_{\text{2}}{\text{H}}_{\text{3}}{\text{O}}_{\text{2}}$ in $\text{100}\text{g}$ of water at $55\text{°C}$ is saturated, unsaturated, or supersaturated is to be predicted.

Concept introduction:

The term unsaturated is used for the solution in which more solute can be added. The term saturated is used for the solution in which no more solute can be added. The term supersaturated is used for the solution in which solute is added more than its solubility.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

The solution that contains $\text{100}\text{g}{\text{NaC}}_{\text{2}}{\text{H}}_{\text{3}}{\text{O}}_{\text{2}}$ in $\text{100}\text{g}$ of water at $75\text{°C}$ is saturated, unsaturated, or supersaturated is to be predicted.

Concept introduction:

The term unsaturated is used for the solution in which more solute can be added. The term saturated is used for the solution in which no more solute can be added. The term supersaturated is used for the solution in which solute is added more than its solubility.
