Question 16

Both Sarika and Mohan were asked to make salt solution. Sarika was given a teaspoonful of salt and half a glass of water, whereas Mohan was given twenty teaspoons full of salt and half a glass of water.
(a) How would they make salt solutions?
(b) Who would be able to prepare saturated solution?

Answer 1

(a) They will mix salt with water to make salt solution.

(b) Saturation is the point at which a solution of a substance can dissolve no more of that substance and an additional amount of that substance will appear as a precipitate. Mohan’s solution would be saturated because in Mohan’s case some salt would remain undissolved and settle at the bottom of the glass.
