Question

Difference between saturated and supersaturated

Answer 1

Answer:

The main difference between saturated and supersaturated solution is that, at a given temperature, a saturated solution has a maximum amount of solutes in the solution whereas a supersaturated solution has more than the maximum amount of solutes in the solution.

Explanation:

Solubility varies with temperature. Most substances are more soluble at higher temperatures. A supersaturated solution can be prepared by preparing a saturated solution at a higher than desired temperature then allowing it to cool, decreasing the solubility of the solute.

Reusable sodium acetate hand warmers use the principle of supersaturation. They contain sodium acetate and water in a sealed packet. They are "recharged" by boiling, which dissolves the excess sodium acetate. When cooled to room temperature the solution is supersaturated, but is more stable than most supersaturated solutions. There's a small metal concave disk in the solution that when clicked creates a vibration that crystallizes the excess solute, releasing heat that warms the solution in the packet.

Answer 2

Answer:

different between saturated and supersaturated?answer is is in below:

Explanation:

saturated: 1:saturated has more density then unsaturated solution and less density than super saturated.

2: the solution which can not dissolve more amount of solution at a certain temperature is saturated.

super saturated: 1: it has more density than unsaturated and saturated.

2: the solution prepared at a high temperature which throw excess solute as a solid when cooled it is super saturated.
