Question

Which statement correctly describes a supersaturated solution?
A) it is possible to dissolve more solute into the solution
B) more solute than i normally possible is dissolved
C) the solution is made of pure solute and contains
D) it is not possible to dissolve more solute into the solution

Answer 1

Answer:

D) it is not possible to dissolve more solute into the solution

Explanation:

There are primarily three types of solutions: saturated solution, unsaturated solution and supersaturated solution.

A "saturated solution" is a solution in which you can dissolve a lot more solute. It has very little solute in it.

An "unsaturated solution" is a solution in which you can dissolve a little more solute although it has a lot of solute in it.

A "supersaturated solution" is a solution in which you cannot dissolve any more solute. It has the maximum amount of solute in it. This makes choice D as the answer.
