Saturated Solutions

When a certain amount of solvent cannot hold any more solute it is called a ________ solution.

• Diluted

• Saturated

In the above picture, a powder is about to be poured into the liquid. Which of the following should be done to make this powder dissolve faster?

• stir the powder in the liquid

• freeze the mixture

• add more powder to the liquid

• store the mixture in a dark place

A solution with solute that dissolves until it is unable to dissolve anymore, leaving the undissolved substances at the bottom.

• Unsaturated solution

• Saturated solution

If there is the maximum amount of solute in a solution, it is said to be

• saturated

• unsaturated

• supersaturated

• concentrated

(Page 48) A saturated solution contains the ​ (a)   amount of solute that can be dissolved at that temperature.

• maximum

• less

• more

• crystallize

(Page 48) Which image is an example of a SATURATED solution?

(Page 48) Which image is an example of a SUPERSATURATED solution?

How does a solution become supersaturated?

• dissolve lots of solute in it.

• dissolve a little solute in it. 

• dissolve more solute than you should be able to. 

• dissolve a solvent in it.

If the solution contains the maximum amount it can dissolve by a given amount of solvent, it is ___________

• Solubility

• Unsaturated

• Saturated

• Supersaturated

It is the physical state described by the opposing processes of dissolution and recrystallization occurring at the same rate.

• Recrystallization

• Dissolution

• Solution equilibrium
