a.
To determine:
Whether throwing a pinch of salt into a pot of boiling water represent a saturated solution.
Introduction:
A solution is a homogeneous mixture comprising of solute and solvent. If a solution does not contain maximum amount of solute that solvent can hold, then the solution is referred as unsaturated. If a solution contains all the solute that can possibly dissolve, then the solution is referred as saturated.
b.
To determine:
Whether a layer of sugar that forms at the bottom of a glass of tea as ice is added represents a saturated solution.
Introduction:
A solution is a homogeneous mixture comprising of solute and solvent. If a solution does not contain maximum amount of solute that solvent can hold, then the solution is referred as unsaturated. If a solution contains all the solute that can possibly dissolve, then the solution is referred as saturated.

- Classify each of the following solutions as saturated, unsaturated, or supersaturated based on the following observations made after adding a small piece of solid solute to the solution. a. The added solute rapidly dissolves. b. The added solute falls to the bottom of the container where it remains without any decrease in size. c. The added solute falls to the bottom of the container where it decreases in size for several hours and thereafter its size remains constant. d. The added solute causes the production of a large amount of solid white crystals.arrow_forwardA solution is defined as a homogeneous mixture. Is a small sample of air a solution? Is the atmosphere a solution?arrow_forwardWhat happens if you add a very small amount of solid salt (NaCl) to each beaker described below? Include a statement comparing the amount of solid eventually found in the beaker with the amount you added: a a beaker containing saturated NaCl solution, b a beaker with unsaturated NaCl solution, c a beaker containing supersaturated NaCl solution. A saturated sodium chloride solution.arrow_forward
- Every pure substance has a definite and fixed set of physical and chemical properties. A solution is prepared by dissolving one pure substance in another. Is it reasonable to expect that the solution will also have a definite and fixed set of properties that are different from the properties of either component? Explain your answer.arrow_forwardDistinguish between the solute and solvent in each of the following solutions: a saltwater [NaCl(aq)]; b sterling silver (92.5%Ag,7.5%Cu); c air about 80%N2,20%O2. On what do you base your distinctions? Sterling silver is an alloy of 92.5 silver and 7.5 another metal, usually copper.arrow_forwardCalculate the concentration in (v/v) of the following solutions: a.250.mL of solution contains 15.0mL of acetone. b.250.mL of solution contains 15.0mL of any soluble liquid solute. c.1.0 quart of acetic acid is put into a 5- gallon container, and enough water is added to fill the container. d.A solution of acetone and water is separated by distillation. A 300.-mL sample gives 109mL of acetone.arrow_forward

- The following diagrams show varying amounts of the same solute (the red spheres) in varying amounts of solution. a. In which of the diagrams is the solution concentration the largest? b. In which two of the diagrams are the solution concentrations the same?arrow_forwardUse the term soluble, insoluble, or immiscible to describe the behavior of the following pairs of substances when they are shaken together: a.25mL of cooking oil and 25mL of vinegar the resulting mixture is cloudy and gradually separates into two layers. b.25mL of water and 10mL of rubbing alcohol the resulting mixture is clear and colorless. c.25mL of chloroform and 1g of roofing tar the resulting mixture is clear but dark brown in color.arrow_forwardCooking A cook prepares a solution for boiling by adding12.5 g of NaCl to a pot holding 0.750 L of water. Atwhat temperature should the solution in the pot boil?Use Table 14.5 for needed data.arrow_forward
