Chapter 15, Problem 15.40CP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The given representations of solutions should be classified as unsaturated, saturated, or supersaturated solutions.

Concept introduction:

Saturated:

A solute is dissolved in solvent to give a solution.  In this process, formation of precipitate results the unable to dissolving of solute into the solution, this solution is known as saturated solution.

Unsaturated:

Lesser the amount of solute that dissolved into the solution than saturated solution gives an unsaturated solution.

Supersaturated:

Higher the amount of solute that dissolved into the solution than saturated solution by increasing temperature gives a supersaturated solution.
