Saturated, Unsaturated & Supersaturated

Saturated, Unsaturated & Supersaturated

A saturated solution is one in which no additional solute
can dissolve in the solvent at that temperature.
If more solute is stirred into a saturated solution, then
not dissolve and will settle to
the added solute will ____________________________
the bottom of the container
____________________________________________.
If a saturated solution is cooled, then the solution will
precipitate the excess solute needed to
most likely ____________________________________
bring the solution to its new saturation point
____________________________________________.
An unsaturated solution is one in which more solute
can dissolve in the solvent at that temperature.
If more solute is stirred into an unsaturated solution, the
dissolve completely or dissolve
added solute will _______________________________
only in part if the solution becomes saturated
____________________________________________.

On the solubility curve for a solution, any point under
the curve represents a region in which the solution is
unsaturated

On the solubility curve for a solution, any point found on

the curve represents the region in which the solution is
exactly saturated

On the solubility curve for a solution, any point above

the curve represents the region in which the solution is
saturated with the excess solute undissolved

Saturated, Unsaturated & Supersaturated

A supersaturated solution is one in which the solvent
is holding has more solute than it should at that
temperature.
Supersaturated solutions are a rare occurrence.
It is not easy to make supersaturated solutions.
Supersaturated solutions are created by making a
saturated solution at a high temperature and then
slowly cooling the mixture without any disturbance.
If a tiny amount of solute is dropped into a supersaturated
the extra solute will immediately
solution, then _________________________________
precipitate out of solution
