solute crystals are added to a solution until they begin to sink to the bottom of their container. the solution is then heated, and many more solute crystals dissolve. which term best describes the solution immediately after it was heated? saturated unsaturated concentrated supersaturated
Answer
Brief Explanations:
A saturated solution has the maximum amount of solute dissolved at a given temperature. When the solution is heated and more solute dissolves, it means it can now hold more solute than before the heating. An unsaturated solution can dissolve more solute. A concentrated solution just has a large amount of solute relative to the solvent but doesn't necessarily relate to the saturation state. A supersaturated solution has more solute dissolved than the saturated - state at a particular temperature, but this is not the case immediately after heating as it just became able to dissolve more solute. So, it is unsaturated.
Answer:
unsaturated
