Question

A teaspoon of sugar is added to a glass of tea which is then stirred until no more crystals can be seen. Another teaspoon is added and stirring is continued until no more crystals can be seen. After the first teaspoon of sugar is added, the solution is _____. saturated unsaturated polar nonpolar

Answer 1

The correct answer among the options given is the second one. It is what perfectly fits the statement. After the first teaspoon of sugar is added, the solution is unsaturated. A solution that is unsaturated is one that no matter how you add a solute, the solute particles will still dissolve in the solvent.

Answer 2

Answer : The solution is unsaturated.

Explanation :

Saturated solution is a solution in which the concentration of solute is maximum in a solvent. The additional amount of solute will not dissolve in the saturated solution. Example : Chocolate powder is added to the milk until it stops dissolving.

Unsaturated solution is a solution in which the concentration of solute is lower in a solvent. The solute is dissolve in solution until it is unable to dissolve anymore and it leaving the undissolved substance at the bottom. Example : Adding Sugar in water.

According to the question, when we are adding a teaspoon of sugar in a glass of tea then the sugar molecules are dissolved in a solution of tea by stirring. At this situation, the solution will be unsaturated. When another teaspoon of sugar is added and stirring then there is no more crystals can be seen.
