Chapter 16, Problem 16.3TC

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

Whether the rate of dissolving if the solution is one-third saturated is more than, equal to, or less than the rate of dissolving when the solution is two-thirds saturated or not is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Solution is a homogenous mixture of two or more components. A sample taken from any part of the solution will have the same composition as the rest of the solution. Many chemical reactions occur in water solutions.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

Whether the rate of crystallization if the solution is one-third saturated is more than, equal to, or less than the rate of crystallization when the solution is two-thirds saturated or not is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Solution is a homogenous mixture of two or more components. A sample taken from any part of the solution will have the same composition as the rest of the solution. Many chemical reactions occur in water solutions.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

Whether the net rate of dissolving if the solution is one-third saturated is more than, equal to, or less than the net rate of dissolving when the solution is two-thirds saturated or not is to be stated.
