Question

A solution is prepared by dissolving 14 g of potassium chlorate in 100g of water at 50 degrees celcius. The resulting solution is... Group of answer choices saturated supersaturated heterogeneous unsaturated

Answer 1

Unsaturated.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

In this case, since the solubility is useful to determine whether a solute will completely dissolve in a solvent or not, we must recall the solubility of potassium chloride at 50 °C that is 42.6 g per 100 g of water, it means that 42.6 g of KCl will completely dissolve in 100 g of water at such temperature. In such a way, since 14 g in the same mass of water is by far lower than the solubility at this temperature we can infer that the formed solution is unsaturated.

Best regards.
