Question

A saturated solution is one which can dissolve more of the solute at a given temperature.
A. True
B. False

Answer 1

Hint: When a solute dissolves, its individual atoms, molecules, or ions interact with the solvent become solvated, and are able to diffuse independently throughout the solution. This is not, however, a unidirectional process. If the molecule or ion happens to collide with the surface of a particle of the undissolved solute, it may adhere to the particle in the process of crystallization. Dissolution and crystallization continue as long as excess solid is present.

Complete step by step answer:
When the solution equilibrium point is reached and no more solute will dissolve, the solution is said to be saturated. A saturated solution is a solution that contains the maximum amount of the solute is capable of being dissolved. At the temperature the maximum amount of NaCl that will dissolve in 100 gm of water is 36 gm. A saturated solution is not dissolving more of the solute at a given temperature. It is the maximum concentration point and saturated point depends on the temperature and pressure of the solution.

Hence the given statement is false.

Note: When the temperature increases, the solubility of most solids increases. A saturated solution is a solution that contains as much as can dissolve. In a given solvent at a given temperature. An unsaturated solution is a solution that contains less solute than can dissolve in a given solvent at a given temperature. Solutes differ in their solubility in a given solvent.
