Tanisha is mixing powdered orange drink mix into a cup. She wants to make sure the orange taste is strong, so she adds a lot of powdered mix. As she is mixing, she notices that the powdered mix starts to float around in the water in clumps, and some settles on the bottom of the cup. Predict why this would happen.

A.
The powder is too old to dissolve in the water.
B.
No more powder will dissolve in the water.
C.
The powder needs to be shaken to fully dissolve.
D.
The powder does not fully dissolve because the water is too warm.

Answer:

B. No more powder will dissolve in the water.

Step-by-step explanation:

If a lot of powder is added to the water, then a fully saturated solution would be created. This means that no matter how much more powder is added or how strong the mix is shaken, no more powder will disolve. The powder will instead remain in solid form in the solution.
