Science Week 6: Saturated and Unsaturated Solutions

A solution is a homogeneous mixture of one or more solutes dissolved in a solvent. It has two main components - the solvent, which dissolves the other component, and the solute, which dissolves in the solvent. An unsaturated solution contains less solute than the maximum amount that can dissolve at a given temperature, while a saturated solution contains the maximum amount of solute dissolved in a specific amount of solvent. A supersaturated solution contains more solute than can normally dissolve at a set volume and temperature.

SCIENCE WEEK 6

SATURATED AND UNSATURATED SOLUTIONS


SOLUTION

is a homogeneous mixture of one or more solutes dissolved in a solvent


COMPONENTS OF A SOLUTION
1. Solvent –component that dissolves the other component
Water is a solvent that dissolves solid substances

2. Solute – component that dissolves in the solvent


Sugar is a component that dissolves in water.
COMPONENTS
UNSATURATED SOLUTION

• It contains less solute than the maximum amount it can


dissolve at a given temperature
SATURATED SOLUTION

Contains maximum amount of Solute dissolved in a given amount of solvent


*At 20°C, the maximum amount of NaCl that will dissolve in 100. g of water is 36.0 g.
When 40.0 g is added, 36.0 g dissolves and 4.0 g remains undissolved.
SUPERSATURATED SOLUTION

Amount of solute is greater than the solute’s solubility at a


given volume and temperature
