Question

Similarities of saturated and supersaturated solution

Answer 1

Answer:

Under some circumstances it is possible to prepare a solution which behaves anomalously and contains more solute than a saturated solution. Such a solution is said to be supersaturated.

Answer 2

The similarity between saturated and supersaturated solutions is that both solutions contain an additional amount of solute.

Explanation:

• A saturated solution is a solution in which no more amount of solute can dissolve.
• A supersaturated solution is a solution in which more than the maximum amount of solute can be dissolved at a particular temperature.
• The similarities of saturated and supersaturated solutions can be given as:

1. An additional or extra amount of solute is added in both saturated and supersaturated solutions.
2. Both solutions have two components - a solute and a solvent.
3. Both the types of solutions depend upon the amount of solute that can be dissolved in the solution or cannot be dissolved in the solution.
