Question

A diner adds sugar into their coffee until the sugar starts to precipitate. If they then add more coffee to their drink, what type of solution have they created? Select the correct answer below: O A supersaturated solution O A dilute solution O An unsaturated solution A saturated solution

Answer 1

Answer:

unsaturated solution

Explanation:

This solution is made by the coffee, which is the solvent and the sugar, which is the solute. The solute dissolves in the solvent.

Sugar starts to precipitate because it cannot dissolve anymore. This means that the solution at the equilibrium point and is saturated. Since more coffee or solvent is added, the solution will now be able to dissolve more sugar. This means that the solution is unsaturated
