A technican prepared a solution by heating 100 mL of distilled water while adding KCl crystals until no more KCl would dissolve. She then capped the clear solution and set it aside on the lab counter. After several hours she noticed the solution had become cloudly and some solid had settled to the bottom of the flask. Which statement best describes what happened?

• As the solution cooled, evaporation of water increased the KCl concentration beyond its solubility.

• Water molecules, trapped with the KCl crystals, were released after heating.

• At lower temperatures the solubility of KCl decreased and recrystallization occurred.

• At increased temperatures the solubility of KCl increased and remained too high after cooling.

A student pours mineral salts into a bottle of cold water. Which of the following best explains why shaking the bottle will affect the dissolving rate of the salt?

• Shaking exposes the salts to the solvent more quickly.

• Shaking helps more water evaporate.

• Shaking equalizes the water temperature.

• Shaking causes more ions to precipitate out of solution.
