Define saturated, unsaturated and supersaturated solution with examples.
Define saturated, unsaturated and supersaturated solution with examples.
1. Unsaturated solution: It is a solution in which more of solute can be dissolved at a given temperature. In this, addition of solute is possible till the solution reaches the point of saturation.
E.g. 5g or 10g or 20g of NaCl in 100g water.
2. Saturated Solution: A solution in which no more solute can be dissolved in a definite amount of solvent at a given temperature is called a saturated solution.
E.g. 36g of NaCl in 100g of water at room temperature forms a saturated solution.
3. Super saturated solution: A solution which has more of solute than the saturated solution at a given temperature is called super saturated solution.
E.g. When you open a can the pressure of carbon dioxide decreases drastically lowering the solubility of carbon dioxide. The resulting soda is then a supersaturated solution which gives off the excess carbon dioxide as bubbles over time.
