Question

a solution is formed at room temperature by vigorously dissolving enough of the solid solute so that some soild remians at the bottom of the solution. which statement below is true ? A. The solution is considered saturated B. The solution would be considered unsaturated if it were cooled a bit to increase the solubility of the solid C. The solution is considered unsaturated D. The solution is considered supersaturated E. None of the above are true

Answer 1

A solution contains the maximum amount of dissolved solute at a given temperature in the presence of undissolved solute is a saturated solution. If you add additional solute to a saturated solution, it will not dissolve. A solution containing less than the equilibrium amount of solute is an unsaturated solution. If you add additional solute to an unsaturated solution, it will dissolve.

A supersaturated solution contains more than the equilibrium amount of solute. Supersaturated solution is unstable and the excess solute normally precipitates out of the solution.

Therefore, the correct option is \(\mathrm{A}\). The solution is considered saturated.
