Answer:

A solution containing 60 grams of nano3 completely dissolved in 50. Grams of water at 50°c is classified as being supersaturaded

Explanation:

This question is about solubility.

Regarding solubility, the solutions may be classified as:

Unsaturated: the concentration is below the maximum concentration permited at the given temperature.

Saturated: the concentration is the maximum permitted at the given temperature, under normal conditions.

Supersaturated: the concentration has overcome the maximum permitted at the given temperature. This is possible only under special conditions and is a very unstable state.

Each substance has its own, unique solubility properties. So, in order to tell the state of the solution you need to compare with either solubility tables, or solubility curves; or run you own experiments.

In internet you can find the solubility curve of NaNO₃ showing the solubility for a wide range of temperatures.

In such curve the solubility of NaNO₃ at 50°C is about 115 g of NaNO₃ per 100 g of water.

Hence, do the proportion to determine the amount of solute that can be dissolved in 50 grams of water at 50°CÑ

115 g NaNO₃ / 100 g H₂O = x / 50 g H₂O ⇒ x = 57.5 g NaNO₃

Conclusion: 50 grams of water can contain 57.5 g of NaNO₃ dissolved; so, a solution containing 60 g of NaNO₃ completely dissolved in 50 grams of water is supersaturated.

<h3>What is a Chemical Formula ?</h3>

Chemical element symbols, numbers, and occasionally additional symbols like parentheses, dashes, brackets, commas, and plus (+) and minus () signs are used in a chemical formula to represent information about the chemical proportions of the atoms that make up a certain chemical compound or molecule.

An empirical formula represents by symbols, such as Na for sodium and Cl for chlorine, with subscripts that show the relative number of atoms in each.
The composition of any member of an entire class of compounds can be represented by a general formula, a sort of empirical formula.
