Question

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) In order to make the salt solution they will have to mix salt in water.

(b) A solution in which no more solute can be dissolved at a given temperature is called a saturated solution.
Mohan has twenty spoons of salt, but sarika has one one spoon full of salt. So Mohan would able to dissolve the salt he has and make a saturated solution. If he uses all the salt he has some salt would remain undissolved and settle at the bottom of the glass.
