Question

6. Sandy adds 3 sugar packets to her tea in order to make it sweeter. She stirs in the sugar and then takes a sip. She notices that not all the sugar was dissolved. What type of solution did she make?
A. Saturated B.Unsaturated C.Supersaturated D.Mildly saturated

Answer 1

Answer:

C.Supersaturated

Explanation:

There are three types of solution:

SATURATED SOLUTION:

It is the solution that contains maximum amount of solute dissolved in a solution in normal conditions.  

UNSATURATED SOLUTION:

It is the solution that contains less than the maximum amount of solute dissolved in a solution in normal conditions. It has space for more solute to be dissolved in it.

SUPERSATURATED SOLUTION:

It contains more than the maximum amount of solute dissolved in it. Such a solution has no capacity to dissolve any more solute under any conditions.

Since the sugar is no more dissolving in the tea and has settled down. Therefore, the solution is:

C.Supersaturated
