- Saturated solution: A solution that contains the maximum amount of solute that can be dissolved at a given temperature.
- Unsaturated solution: A solution that contains less solute than the maximum amount that can be dissolved at a given temperature.
- Supersaturated solution: A solution that contains more solute than the maximum amount that can be dissolved at a given temperature, typically achieved by dissolving solute at a higher temperature and then cooling the solution carefully.
a. 100 mL of saturated solutions prepared at 20°C:
1. Sodium chloride (NaCl): 36 g
2. Potassium chloride (KCl): 34 g
3. Potassium nitrate (KNO₃): 32 g
4. Sodium nitrate (NaNO₃): 88 g
b. 100 mL of saturated solutions prepared at 40°C:
1. Potassium chloride (KCl): 40 g
2. Potassium nitrate (KNO₃): 64 g
3. Potassium chlorate (KClO₃): 14 g
4. Sodium nitrate (NaNO₃): 104 g
