Question

You are given a clear solution of KNO3. Using 3-4 sentences explain how you would determine if the solution is unsaturated,saturated, or supersaturated

Answer 1

Without being given a temperature or amount of solute, it's not as easy to find the level of saturation. If there is excess of solvent in the beaker, the solution is unsaturated. In this case, the solution is clear so there is no indication of excess of solute or solvent. Therefore, the solution is saturated.
