The answer is D: Saturated.
A saturated solution is one in which the exact maximum amount of solute has been dissolved. So, new solute will not dissolve in the solution. In contrast, an unsaturated solution can hold more solute, so if that option were correct, the crystal would have dissolved.
The other two terms are a bit more complicated. A supersaturated solution is one holding an amount of solute above the sustainable limit. Because of that, when more solute is added, the solution will immediately adjust, and some solute will come out of solution in a precipitate. Because the crystal isn't growing, we can eliminate this option.
A concentrated solution is one holding a relatively large amount of solute. However, you can have concentrated solutions that are saturated and unconcentrated (the word for this is dilute) solutions that aren't saturated. Therefore, we can say that because the crystal doesn't dissolve, this solution is saturated, but we can't say with certainty that it is concentrated.
Because the first three options are invalid, as described above, while the scenario does describe a saturated solution, D is the correct answer.
You can put a known amount sodium into some sort of time release mechanism such as a pill made from soluble material. Then you can place the sodium into a calorimeter with a known mass of water and record the temperature change the water undergoes during the reaction. Then you can use the equation q(water)=m(water)c(water)ΔT to find the amount of heat absorbed by the water. since the amount of heat absorbed by the water is the amount of heat released from the sodium, q(sodium)=-q(water). Than you can use the equation q(sodium)=m(sodium)c(sodium)ΔT and solve for c(sodium)
I hope this helps and feel free to ask about anything that was unclear in the comments.
Answer:
0.5
Explanation:
1 mole of ammonium nitrate contains 2 moles of nirogen
1 mole of nitrogen converts to 0.5 moles of ammonium nitrate
the conversation factor is 0.5
When you heated the can with the bit of water inside and you boiled it over a flame, the water turned to vapor (gas) and the pressure in the inside of the can is different from the pressure on the outside of the can. When you placed the can into a ice water beaker or a container, the can shrunk it's size, decreasing it's mass and density. The can shrunk as a result of the inside pressure being equalized with the outside pressure.
The part where you placed it in the ice bath or container was when the water vapor was forced out of the can.
