Question

.Ryan boiled a liter of water and then stirred sugar into it, adding more sugar until no more would dissolve in the water, creating a saturated solution. If he pours more sugar into it after it has had a chance to cool, what will most likely happen?Immersive Reader (1 Point) All of the sugar will come out of solution, and pure water will float to the top If he stirs constantly, the sugar will form into one large sugar crystal The added sugar will sink to the bottom The added sugar will dissolve in the water

Answer 1

Answer: The correct option is that all of the sugar will come out of solution, and pure water will float to the top

Explanation:

Solution in the field of Chemistry is usually made up of two or more substances which contains a solute that dissolves in a solvent.

A solution can either be:

-> Saturated

--> Unsaturated or

-> Supersaturated.

A saturated solution is a solution with solutes that dissolves until it is unable to dissolve anymore leaving the undissolved solute beneath.

When there is mixture of a solute and a solvent in a solution the reactions that occurs are called crystallization and dissolution. Crystallization causes solid solutes to remain undissolved while dissolution is simply the dissolving process of the solute.

When Ryan added more sugar after reaching the saturation point of the mixture, the process of crystallization set in which surpassed the process of dissolution of the sugar solute leading to precipitation of the solute of out the solution.
