Answer:

This solutions is supersaturated

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of KBr = 100 grams

Mass of water = 100 grams

Temperature of water = 60.0 °C

Saturated Solution =A solution with solute that dissolves until it is unable to dissolve anymore.

Unsaturated Solution= A solution (with less solute than the saturated solution) that completely dissolves.

Supersaturated Solution = A solution (with more solute than the saturated solution) that contains more undissolved solute than the saturated solution because of its tendency to crystallize and precipitate

Step 2

A KBr solution is saturated when 85.5 grams of KBr, at a temperature of 60.0 °C, is dissolved in 100 mL (100 grams ) of water.

100 grams > 85.5 grams

This solutions is supersaturated
