What is a saturated solution?

• A. A solution that contains the maximum quantity of solute that dissolves at that temperature.

• B. A solution that contains less than the maximum amount of solute that can dissolve at a particular temperature.

• C. A solution that cannot dissolve any solute.

• D. A solution that contains no solute.

What is an unsaturated solution?

• A. A solution that contains the maximum quantity of solute that dissolves at that temperature.

• B. A solution that contains less than the maximum amount of solute that can dissolve at a particular temperature.

• C. A solution that cannot dissolve any solute.

• D. A solution that contains no solute.

How can solutions be classified?

• A. As acidic or basic.

• B. As solid or liquid.

• C. As saturated or unsaturated.

• D. As homogeneous or heterogeneous.

Which of the following best describes a solution that contains less than the maximum amount of solute that can dissolve at a particular temperature?

• A. Saturated solution

• B. Unsaturated solution

• C. Supersaturated solution

• D. Dilute solution

What is a supersaturated solution?

• A) A solution that contains less solute than is possible to be dissolved

• B) A solution that contains more solute than is possible to be dissolved

• C) A solution that contains an equal amount of solute and solvent

• D) A solution that contains no solute

Why are supersaturated solutions considered unstable?

• A) Because they contain less solute than is possible to be dissolved

• B) Because they are always in a solid state

• C) Because the supersaturation is only temporary

• D) Because they are always in a gaseous state

Which of the following is NOT a method to create a supersaturated solution?

• A) Warm the solvent so that it will dissolve more, then cool the solution

• B) Evaporate some of the solvent carefully so that the solute does not solidify and come out of solution

• C) Add more solute to the solution without changing the temperature

• D) Increase the pressure on the solution

What is one way to create a supersaturated solution?

• A) Cool the solvent so that it will dissolve more

• B) Warm the solvent so that it will dissolve more, then cool the solution

• C) Add solute to a saturated solution at room temperature

• D) Decrease the pressure on the solution

What should be done to the solvent to prevent the solute from solidifying and coming out of solution?

• A) Warm the solvent quickly

• B) Evaporate some of the solvent carefully

• C) Add more solute rapidly

• D) Increase the pressure on the solution

Which type of solution allows more solute to dissolve?
