To prepare a supersaturated solution, the added amount must be higher than the solubility for the given volume of solvent
Explanation:
Hello,
This could be answered by knowing that all the solutes have a property called solubility which accounts for the maximum amount of it that can be thoroughly dissolved into a specific solvent. Thus, to prepare a supersaturated solution, the added amount must be higher than the solubility for the given volume of solvent at a specific temperature. For example, at 20°C, 45.8g of aluminium chloride are completely dissolved into 100 mL of water, so at that amount, the solution will be saturated, thus, if one adds more than 45.8g the solution will start being supersaturated.
To make a supersaturated solution<span>, make a saturated </span>solution<span> of sugar by adding 360 grams of sugar to 100 mL of water at 80 degrees Celsius. When the water cools back down to 25 degrees, that 360 grams of sugar will still be dissolved even though the water </span>should<span> only dissolve 210 grams of sugar.</span>
The correct answer is (a) wave the fumes toward your nose with your hand. If you smell the chemicals directly, it could be harmful too your health, especially if they are strong. Also remember to <em>never </em>smell chemicals unless you are being told to do so.
