Saturated and Unsaturated Solutions
Table salt (NaCl) readily dissolves in water. Suppose that you have a beaker of water to which you add some salt, stirring until it dissolves. So you add more and that dissolves. You keep adding more and more salt, eventually reaching a point that no more of the salt will dissolve no matter how long or how vigorously you stir it. Why? On the molecular level, we know that action of the water causes the individual ions to break apart from the salt crystal and enter the solution, where they remain hydrated by water molecules. What also happens is that some of the dissolved ions collide back again with the crystal and remain there. Recrystallization is the process of dissolved solute returning to the solid state. At some point the rate at which the solid salt is dissolving becomes equal to the rate at which the dissolved solute is recrystallizing. When that point is reached, the total amount of dissolved salt remains unchanged. Solution equilibrium is the physical state described by the opposing processes of dissolution and recrystallization occurring at the same rate.
While this shows the change of state back and forth between solid and aqueous solution, the preferred equation also shows the dissociation that occurs as an ionic solid dissolves.
When the solution equilibrium point is reached and no more solute will dissolve, the solution is said to be saturated. A saturated solution is a solution that contains the maximum amount of solute that is capable of being dissolved. At 20°C, the maximum amount of NaCl that will dissolve in 100. g of water is 36.0 g. If any more NaCl is added past that point, it will not dissolve because the solution is saturated. What if more water is added to the solution instead? Now more NaCl would be capable of dissolving in the additional solvent. An unsaturated solution is a solution that contains less than the maximum amount of solute that is capable of being dissolved.
When 30.0 g of NaCl is added to 100 ml of water, it all dissolves, forming an unsaturated solution. When 40.0 g is added, 36.0 g dissolves and 4.0 g remains undissolved, forming a saturated solution.
How can you tell if a solution is saturated or unsaturated? If more solute is added and it does not dissolve, then the original solution was saturated. If the added solute dissolves, then the original solution was unsaturated. A solution that has been allowed to reach equilibrium but which has extra undissolved solute at the bottom of the container must be saturated.
Answer:
B. There is a direct proportion between the mass and force listed in the table.
Explanation:
From the table, the values of force increases with increase in the value of mass.
if 5kg=25 N
Finding the contant of proportionality k;
k=25/5=5
thus M=k(F)...........where M is mass in kg and F is force in newton, then
M=5F
This show that for every value of mass, we get the value of Force if we multiply by a contant k=5
This means there is a direct proportionality relation between mass and force in the table.
ANSWER
Velocity of the mass reaches zero
EXPLANATION
We want to identify what hapens to a mass attached toa a spring at maximum displacement.
When a mass attached to a spring is at its maximum position of displacement, the direction of the mass begins to change. This implies that the velocity of the mass will reach zero.
Hence, at maximum displacement, the velocity of the mass reaches zero.
Answer:
a = F/m
Explanation:
So we have to isolate a, in order to do this we need to move m to the other side, and we do that by diving both sides by m, resulting in a = F/m
