Question

Which is a saturated solution?

Answer 1

Answer:

C）52g KCl in 100g water at 80°C

Explanation:

A saturated solution is one that contains as much solute as it can dissolve in the presence of excess solute at that particular temperature.

A solutibility curve is a graph that shows the variability with temperature of the solubility of a solute in a given solvent. A solutibility curve can provide information of whether a solution formed frommthe solute and solvent are saturated or not at a given temperature.

From the solubility curve in the attachment below:

A) A saturated solution of NH₄Cl will contain about 52 g solute per 100 g sat 50 °C. Thus, a solution of 40 g NH₄Cl in 100 g water at 50 °C is an unsaturated solution.

B) A saturated solution of SO₂ at 10°C will contain about 70 g of solute in 100 g of water. Thus a solution of 2g SO₂ in 100g water at 10°C is an unsaturated solution.

C) A saturated solution of KCl at 80 °C will contain about 52 g of solute in 100 g of water. Thus, a solution of 52g KCl in 100g water at 80°C is a saturated solution.

D) A saturated solution of Kl at 20 °C will contain about 145 g of solute in 100 g of water. Thus, a solution of 120g KI in 100g water at 20°C is an unsaturated solution.
