Question

100 mL of solvent ‘X’ can hold 100 gms of solid solute ‘Y’ at room temperature. Based on this information answer the following questions:

i.
Can you dissolve more than 100 gms of the given solute in 100 mL of given solvent? If yes, how?
ii.
Name the type of solution formed when 70 gms of given solute was dissolved in 100 mL of given solvent at room temperature.

Answer 1

Answer:

i) yes you can since 100 ml of solvent requires 100 g of given solute as it is the required quantity take another example 101 gms you have an excess of 1 gm left to dissolve to form the solution this solution formed based on the question asked above is saturated solution that is you cant dissolve anymore.

ii) it will be the unsaturated solution because you can dissolve 30 gms of solute more to attain the saturated level (that is you cant dissolve anymore)
