Definition
-
Unsaturated solution: If the amount of solute contained in a solution is less than the saturation level, it is called an unsaturated solution. (till it is dissolving).
-
Saturated solution: When no more solute can be dissolved in a solution at a given temperature, it is called a saturated solution.
-
Solubility: The amount of the solute present in the saturated solution at this temperature is called its solubility.
Notes
Concentration of a Solution:
-
Take salt and dissolve it in water.
-
Keep adding and stir.
-
After a time, it won’t be soluble.
-
Heat it and try dissolving.
-
It will dissolve!
-
Try adding more and dissolve it.
From the about activity, the following can be inferred!
-

-

How will you decide how concentrated the solution is?
Concentration of solution = `" Amount of solute"/"Amount of solution" "or" "Amount of solute"/"Amount of solvent"`
There are various ways of expressing the concentration of a solution
-
`"Mass by mass percentage of a solution" = "Mass of solute"/"Mass of solution" xx 100`
-
`"Mass by volume percentage of a solution" = "Mass of solute"/"Volume of solution" xx 100`.
Example
Example
To make a saturated solution, 36 g of sodium chloride is dissolved in 100 g of water at 293 K. Find its concentration at this temperature.
Mass of solute (sodium chloride) = 36 g (Given)
Mass of solvent (water) = 100 g (Given)
Then, mass of solution = Mass of solute + Mass of solvent
= (36 + 100) g
= 136 g
Therefore, concentration (mass by mass percentage) of the solution
`="Mmmmass of solute"/"Mass of solvent"xx100%`
`=36/136xx100%`
`= 26.47 %`
