(a)
Interpretation: If the given solution is saturated or unsaturated should be identified.
Concept Introduction: A solution is said to be saturated if no more solute can be dissolved in it. If more solute is added to the solution, it remains at the bottom of the container in non-dissolved form.
In an unsaturated solution, the concentration of solute is less than that the equilibrium solubility.
(b)
Interpretation: If the given solution is saturated or unsaturated should be identified.
Concept Introduction: A solution is said to be saturated if no more solute can be dissolved in it. If more solute is added to the solution, it remains at the bottom of the container in undissolved form.
In an unsaturated solution, the concentration of solute is less than that the equilibrium solubility.

- In your own words, explain why (a) seawater has a lower freezing point than fresh water. (b) salt is added to the ice in an ice cream maker to freeze the ice cream faster.arrow_forwardCalculate the concentration in (v/v) of the following solutions: a.250.mL of solution contains 15.0mL of acetone. b.250.mL of solution contains 15.0mL of any soluble liquid solute. c.1.0 quart of acetic acid is put into a 5- gallon container, and enough water is added to fill the container. d.A solution of acetone and water is separated by distillation. A 300.-mL sample gives 109mL of acetone.arrow_forwardn oil spill spreads out on the surface of water, rather than dissolving in the water. Explain why.arrow_forward
