Question

A solution is made by adding 20 g table salt to 100 mL water. The solubility of salt is 36 g/100 mL water. Which term best describes this solution? dilute saturated supersaturated unsaturated.

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is D) unsaturated

Explanation:

I just did it on Edge, hope this helps! :)

Answer 2

Answer:

We say that the solution is unsaturated.

Explanation:

If the salt solubility is 36 g in 0.1 L of water then we can dissolve 360 g of salt in 1 L of water.

Because the solution contains 200 g of salt in 1 L of water, the solution is unsaturated because more salt can be added until we reach the saturation point.

We call the solution dilute when we compare the concentration of a solution with the concentration of another solution, but here we do not compare different solutions.
