Question

You are provided with the solution of substance X how will you test whether a saturated or unsaturated at a given temperature what will happen a hot saturated solution is allowed to cool slowly

Answer 1

1. How to test whether a solution is saturated or unsaturated at a given temperature?

Add a small amount of substance X into the solution. If it dissolves, the solution is unsaturated. If it does not dissolve and a precipitate forms, the solution is saturated.

2. What will happen if a hot saturated solution is allowed to cool slowly?

The solubility of solute in the solution will decrease, and some dissolved solute will precipitate out to form crystals.
