Question

What name is given to the solution which contains more solute than that required to prepare saturated solution at that temperature?

Answer 1

Answer:

Supersaturated solution:

• The solution which contains more solute than that could be dissolved by the solvent under normal conditions is known as a supersaturated solution.
• It can be done by heating the solution.
• Because of the application of heat to a saturated solution, the intermolecular space between the particles increases due to an increase in the kinetic energy of the particles, this allows more solutes to dissolve in the solution and makes the solution supersaturated.
• For example, $50\mathrm{g}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{NaCl}\mathrm{in}100\mathrm{g}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{Water}.$

Conclusion:

The solution which contains more solute than that required to prepare saturated solution at that temperature is known as a supersaturated solution.
