Interpretation:
Whether the statement, “The concentration is the same throughout a beaker of the solution” is true or false is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
The solution is defined as the mixture of two or more substances where the substances in a relative amount get chemically combined that is, they get mixed together, homogenously. The amount of the substances mixed can be varied according to the limit of solubility.

Answer to Problem 132E
The statement, “The concentration is the same throughout a beaker of the solution” is true.
Explanation of Solution
The solution forms a homogenous mixture of solute and solvent. So, the concentration is same throughout the solution. Therefore, the statement, “The concentration is the same throughout a beaker of the solution” is true.
The statement, “The concentration is the same throughout a beaker of the solution” is true.
(b)
Interpretation:
Whether the statement, “A saturated solution of solute A is always more concentrated than an unsaturated solution of solute B” is true or false is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
When the maximum amount of solute is dissolved in a solvent then it is known as a saturated solution. The unsaturated solution is one in which less amount of solute is added to the solvent.

Answer to Problem 132E
The statement, “A saturated solution of solute A is always more concentrated than an unsaturated solution of solute B” is false.
Explanation of Solution
The comparison of concentration between the two solutions can be done when the solute particles of both the solutions are same. In this case the solute particles are different for both the solutions.
Therefore, the statement, “A saturated solution of solute A is always more concentrated than an unsaturated solution of solute B” is false.
The statement, “A saturated solution of solute A is always more concentrated than an unsaturated solution of solute B” is false.
(c)
Interpretation:
Whether the statement, “A solution can never have a concentration greater than its solubility at a given temperature” is true or false is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
The solution is defined as the mixture of two or more substances where the substances in a relative amount get chemically combined that is, they get mixed together, homogenously. The amount of the substances mixed can be varied according to the limit of solubility.

Answer to Problem 132E
The statement, “A solution can never have a concentration greater than its solubility at a given temperature” is false.
Explanation of Solution
In a supersaturated solution, more amount of solute is added after the saturation limit by altering its temperature conditions. So, the concentration will be more than the solubility.
Therefore, the statement, “A solution can never have a concentration greater than its solubility at a given temperature” is false.
The statement, “A solution can never have a concentration greater than its solubility at a given temperature” is false.
(d)
Interpretation:
Whether the statement, “A finely divided solute dissolves faster because more surface area is exposed to the solvent” is true or false is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
When the solute and the solvent are mixed together then they form a solution. The solute is the matter that gets dissolved in the solvent. The concentration of solution is defined as the amount of solute particles added to the amount of solvent or solution.

Answer to Problem 132E
The statement, “A finely divided solute dissolves faster because more surface area is exposed to the solvent” is true.
Explanation of Solution
The solubility of a solute in a solvent is directly proportional to the surface area of the solute particles. A finely divided solute has more surface area.
Therefore, the statement, “A finely divided solute dissolves faster because more surface area is exposed to the solvent” is true.
The statement, “A finely divided solute dissolves faster because more surface area is exposed to the solvent” is true.
(e)
Interpretation:
Whether the statement, “Stirring a solution increases the rate of crystallization” is true or false is to be stated.
Concept introduction:

Answer to Problem 132E
The statement, “Stirring a solution increases the rate of crystallization” is false.
Explanation of Solution
Stirring a solution increases the solubility of the solute particles as it increases the motion of the solute particles in the solvent.
Therefore, the statement, “Stirring a solution increases the rate of crystallization” is false.
The statement, “Stirring a solution increases the rate of crystallization” is false.
(f)
Interpretation:
Whether the statement, “Crystallization ceases when equilibrium is reached” is true or false is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
The solution is defined as the mixture of two or more substances where the substances in a relative amount get chemically combined that is, they get mixed together, homogenously.
Crystallization is a process in which the change in state of materials occurs from liquid to solid.

Answer to Problem 132E
The statement, “Crystallization ceases when equilibrium is reached” is false.
Explanation of Solution
Equilibrium is a state of balance between the rate of dissolution and the rate of crystallization. Therefore, both the dissolution and crystallization occurs at a same rate.
Therefore, the statement, “Crystallization ceases when equilibrium is reached” is false.
The statement, “Crystallization ceases when equilibrium is reached” is false.
(g)
Interpretation:
Whether the statement, “All solubilities increase at higher temperatures” is true or false is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
The solution is defined as the mixture of two or more substances where the substances in a relative amount get chemically combined that is, they get mixed together, homogenously. The amount of the substances mixed can be varied according to the limit of solubility.

Answer to Problem 132E
The statement, “All solubilities increase at higher temperatures” is false.
Explanation of Solution
The solubilities depend on the nature of solute particles.
When the solute particle is solid, then the solubility increases with increase in temperature. On the other hand, when the solute particle is gaseous, then the solubility decreases with increase in temperature.
Therefore, the statement, “All solubilities increase at higher temperatures” is false.
The statement, “All solubilities increase at higher temperatures” is false.
(h)
Interpretation:
Whether the statement, “Increasing air pressure over water increases the solubility of nitrogen in the water” is true or false is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
The solution is defined as the mixture of two or more substances where the substances in a relative amount get chemically combined that is, they gets mixed together, homogenously. The amount of the substances mixed can be varied according to the limit of solubility.

Answer to Problem 132E
The statement, “Increasing air pressure over water increases the solubility of nitrogen in the water” is true.
Explanation of Solution
When the solute particle is in a gaseous state, then the solubility of the solute particle can be increased by increasing the pressure on the water. In this case, the solute is nitrogen gas, so its solubility can be increased by increasing the pressure on it.
Therefore, the statement, “Increasing air pressure over water increases the solubility of nitrogen in the water” is true.
The statement, “Increasing air pressure over water increases the solubility of nitrogen in the water” is true.
(i)
Interpretation:
Whether the statement, “An ionic solute is more likely to dissolve in a nonpolar solvent than in a polar solvent” is true or false is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
The solution is defined as the mixture of two or more substances where the substances in a relative amount get chemically combined that is, they get mixed together, homogenously.
When the compounds get dissociated into ions on dissolution dissolved in water, then they are known as ionic compounds.

Answer to Problem 132E
The statement, “An ionic solute is more likely to dissolve in a nonpolar solvent than in a polar solvent” is false.
Explanation of Solution
Polar solutes dissolve in polar solvents and nonpolar solutes dissolve in nonpolar solvents.
Ionic solute is polar in nature, so, it will dissolve in polar solvent much easily than the nonpolar solvent.
Therefore, the statement, “An ionic solute is more likely to dissolve in a nonpolar solvent than in a polar solvent” is false.
The statement, “An ionic solute is more likely to dissolve in a nonpolar solvent than in a polar solvent” is false.
(j)
Interpretation:
Whether the statement, “The molarity of a solution changes slightly with temperature, but the molality does not” is true or false is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
Molality is defined as the number of moles of solute present in the specific weight of solvent in kilograms.
Molarity is defined as the number of moles of solute present in specific volume of solution in liters.

Answer to Problem 132E
The statement, “The molarity of a solution changes slightly with temperature, but the molality does not” is true.
Explanation of Solution
Molarity is defined as the number of moles of solute present in specific volume of solution in liters. The volume of a solution is temperature dependent, so it changes with temperature. On the other hand, molality is the number of moles of solute present in the specific weight of solvent in kilograms. The mass of solvent is not temperature dependent, so it does not change with temperature.
Therefore, the statement, “The molarity of a solution changes slightly with temperature, but the molality does not” is true.
The statement, “The molarity of a solution changes slightly with temperature, but the molality does not” is true.
