Question

How could you “supersaturate” solutions, exceeding the amount of dissolved solute possible

for a given volume of solvent by preventing formula units from precipitating into crystals?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

In a saturated solution, more solute cannot be dissolved at a given temperature.

This is because, the solute dissolves in a solvent because of space between particles of solvent but on continuous addition of solute, the space between the solvent particles gets fulfilled. Thus no more solute particle can dissolve in a solvent.
