A solution refers to any combination of a solvent - water, for example - and a solute - such as sodium. So in salt water, H2O is the solvent which solvates the solute, NaCl. There might be just a little salt in the water, or a lot; in either case it is a solution.
A saturated solution is when there is so much of the solute in the solution that no more will dissolve. Imagine adding salt to a glass of water, while stirring continuously. For a long time, the salt would be solvated (dissolved), and disappear. Eventually however, you would reach the saturation point - the water becomes unable to "hold" any more salt, so you would see the salt start to simply collect on the glass bottom.
In short, the definition of a saturated solution is one that cannot dissolve any more of the solute. Different solvent and solute combinations all have different saturation points; the solvent may be able to hold a lot of one compound, but perhaps just a little bit of another.
Any addition of thermal energy to a saturated liquid will cause it to vaporize.
Any subtraction of thermal energy from a saturated vapor will cause it to condense.
If the liquid is saturated in the solid to capacity, it cannot hold any more liquid.
It is not possible to dissolve another amount of solute, at a given temperature and pressure.
The easiest way to determine if the solution is saturated or not is not really very 'scientific.' Remove a sample and, drop a bit of the solute into it. If the additional solute dissolves, the solution is not saturated. If it does not, the solution is saturated.
You can tell when a solution is saturated because if it is, you can see solid particles of the solute in the liquid. These particles do not dissolve even if the solution is stirred vigourously.
Do you mean after you've carried out a chemical reaction? The precipitate is the solid that forms after the solution has become saturated, ie; it will not dissolve anymore.You can also calculate if a precipitate forms using the Ionic Product and Ks.
If the solid disappears or gets smaller, then it has formed a solution with the water.
1.gold is a solution of gold containing some copper.it is the example of solid solution.
If it is solid at room temperature but melts when heated.
A liquid-solid solution is when a liquid turns to a solid. You can tell because if you put a glass of water in the freezer, it will turn to ice (solid).
A solution is saturated when it is no longer possible to dissolve an additional quantity of solute, at constant temperature.
A liquid-solid solution is when a liquid turns to a solid. You can tell because if you put a glass of water in the freezer, it will turn to ice (solid).
Remove a drop of the solution with a glass rod and see whether any solid forms when the drop cools.
As a general rule, chemical reactions can be identified by a number of signs, including precipitation (solids floating in the liquid), effervenscance (bubbling and fizzing), heat being given off or a colour change.
The easiest way to tell the difference is by observing weather the particle of the solid are clumping at the bottom (suspension) or dispersed evenly throughout the liquid (solution)
From your question it is impossible to tell. A salt-water solution can be unsaturated or saturated depending on how much salt was added.
The easiest way to determine if the solution is saturated or not is not really very 'scientific.' Remove a sample and, drop a bit of the solute into it. If the additional solute dissolves, the solution is not saturated. If it does not, the solution is saturated.
Tell me what else is in the solution. Solution containing a liter of vinegar plus a tablespoon of salt--the vinegar is the solvent. Solution containing a liter of vinegar plus a thousand liters of water--the water is the solvent. (Solutes can be either solid, liquid or gas--oxygen, a gas; diethylene glycol, a liquid; and salt, a solid, all dissolve in water.)
Saturated fats have no double bonds in their chemical structure. They are βsaturatedβ with hydrogen atoms. Because of their chemical structure, they have a solid consistency at room temperature.
