Question

Which of the following is TRUE about supersaturated solution?

a. It can dissolve more solute in the solution.
b. There is no excess dissolved solute in a solution
c. It has equal amount of solute and solvent in a solution
d. The solution contains more than the maximum of solute.​

Answer 1

A supersaturated solution contains more solute than can typically dissolve at a given temperature and is not stable, which can lead to precipitation when disturbed.The right answer is A

Step-by-step explanation:

The true statement about a supersaturated solution is that it contains more than the maximum amount of solute capable of being dissolved at a given temperature. This can occur when a solvent is heated, more solute is dissolved than would dissolve at a normal temperature, and then allowed to cool down carefully. A supersaturated solution is not stable and can lead to precipitation when a seed crystal is introduced or under certain other conditions.
