Answer to Question #190567 in General Chemistry for Anne

Question

40 grams of NaCl (sodium chloride) is

dissolved in to 100 grams of water at 50˚C. Is this solution: a. unsaturated    b. saturated    c. super

saturated

Answer 1

In fact, you can expect to be able to dissolve no more than 40 g of sodium chloride per 100 g of water at 80∘C . So, at 80∘C , you will ahve an unsaturated solution if you dissolve less than 40 g of sodium chloride, and a saturated solution if you dissolve about 40 g of sodium chloride.
