Answer:
This solutions is unsaturated
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Data given
MAss of NaNO3 = 140 grams
MAss of water = 100 grams
Temperature water = 80.0°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 NaNO3solution is saturated at a temperature of 80.0 °C when 148 grams of NaNO3 is dissolved per 100 mL water ( 100 grams water).
140 grams < 148 grams
This solutions is unsaturated
