Question

Define supersaturation and nucleation??

​

Answer 1

Explanation:

It can also refer to a vapor of a compound that has a higher (partial) pressure than the vapor pressure of that compound. Nucleation is the first step in the formation of either a new thermodynamic phase or a new structure via self-assembly or self-organization.

Answer 2

Explanation:

1.Supersaturation occurs with a chemical solution when the concentration of a solute exceeds the concentration specified by the value equilibrium solubility. Most commonly the term is applied to a solution of a solid in a liquid. A supersaturated solution is in a metastable state; it may be brought to equilibrium by forcing the excess of solute to separate from the solution. The term can also be applied to a mixture of gases.

2.Nucleation is the first step in the formation of either a new thermodynamic phase or a new structure via self-assembly or self-organization. Nucleation is typically defined to be the process that determines how long an observer has to wait before the new phase or self-organized structure appears
