Presentation Transcript

  1. Saturation Unsaturated, Saturated and Supersaturated

  2. Saturated solution-contains the maximum amount of solute that will dissolve in a given amount of solvent at a given temperature. • Unsaturated solution- more solute could be dissolved -indicated by no solid present • Supersaturated solution- more solute is dissolved than is theoretically possible at a given temperature.

  3. Example • Need Some Volunteers

  4. How could you determine if a solution is saturated, unsaturated or supersaturated? • If solid is present – it is Saturated • If no solid is present – it is unsaturated or supersaturated • To determine which, add a crystal • Supersaturated will crystallize • Unsaturated will dissolve the crystal
