Question

A chemist has dissolved a certain substance in water. The chemist knows that more of the substance could be dissolved into the water before it stops dissolving. Therefore, the current solution is

.

Answer 1

Answer is: the current solution is unsaturated.

Unsaturated solution means that more of a substance can be dissolve.

For example:

Solubility of potassium chlorate (KClO₃) at 100 grams of water at 80°C is 37.5 g, that means that all 37.5 g is completely dissolves, this is the saturated solution.

If we add 20 grams of potassium chlorate in 100 grams of water, there is less solute than the saturated solution, so this is unsaturated solution.

Answer 2

unsaturated………. The answer
