Second questionStep-by-step explanation:
First, let's remember the concepts of an unsaturated, saturated, and supersaturated solution:
- An unsaturated solution is a solution that contains less than the maximum amount of solute that is capable of being dissolved.
- A saturated solution is a solution that contains the maximum amount of solute that is capable of dissolving.
- A supersaturated solution is a solution that contains more than the maximum amount of solute that is capable of being dissolved at a given temperature.
Answer:
In this case, for KNO3, we can say:
- If we add KNO3 (crystal) to a solution (for example, water), and it dissolves completely, it would be an unsaturated solution.
- If the crystal doesn't grow, the solution is saturated.
- If we see a lot of crystals in the solution, we're going to have a supersaturated solution.
