Question

If a solution is oversaturated, will osmosis continue to happen like normal and will the unsaturated solute become saturated as more solvent is added?

Answer 1

Yes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

This is

If there are two solutions of different concentrations separated by a semipermeable membrane, the solvent (water) passes from the less saturated compartment to the more saturated compartment due to the natural tendency that exists to match concentrations. In other words, the water will diffuse until the hydrostatic pressure equals the osmotic pressure.

So the solvent will diffuse from the unsaturated solution towards the oversaturated one.

Hope you have a SUPER day!
