Chapter 13, Problem 7ST

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The concentration of the solution containing $\text{130}\text{g}$ of ${\text{NaC}}_{\text{2}}{\text{H}}_{\text{3}}{\text{O}}_{\text{2}}$ in $\text{100}\text{g}$ water at $90°\text{C}$ is to be predicted.

Concept introduction:

The solution that contains the maximum amount of the solute at a given temperature is known as a saturated solution. When more solute can be dissolved in the solution, then it is known as unsaturated solution.

The supersaturated solution is one in which the solute dissolved is more than the capability of the solvent to dissolve it. This is done by increasing the temperature of the solution.
