Question

What would happen if you were to take a certain saturated solution at a certain temperature and cool it slowly? What is the nature of such solutions?

Answer 1

When the solution is cooled, the solubility of the solute decreases and this causes the solute to precipitate out as crystal in the solutions. The solute will crystalize until the solubility of the solute reaches equilibrium of the solvent.

  The nature of such solutions are still liquid and the crystals are solids.

Answer 2

● Answer -
When a saturated solution is cooled slowly, precipitation will be observed.

● Explanation -
- Saturated solutios are those which contain maximum conc of solute dissolved in solvent.
- Solubility of solids in liquid is directly proportional to temperature.
- Upon cooling, solubility of solute in saturated solution decreses which results in precipitation of excess solute.
- This precipitated solute is observed as solid crystals at the bottom of vessel.
