Explain the following giving an example.
Saturated solution
Advertisements
Solution
- A saturated solution is a solution in which the maximum amount of solute has been dissolved at a given temperature. The solution cannot dissolve beyond that amount of solute at that temperature. Any more solute added will settle down at the bottom of the container as a precipitate.
- Suppose 500 g of a solvent can dissolve a maximum of 150 g of a particular solute at 40°C. Then, the solution obtained by dissolving 150 g of that solute in 500 g of that solvent at 300 K is said to be a saturated solution at 300 K.

A group of students took an old shoebox and covered it with black paper from all sides. They fixed a source of light (a torch) at one end of the box by making a hole in it and making another hole on the other side to view the light. They placed a milk sample contained in a beaker/tumbler in the box as shown in Fig.2.4. They were amazed to see that milk taken in the tumbler was illuminated. They tried the same activity by taking a salt solution but found that light simply passed through it?
(a) Explain why the milk sample was illuminated. Name the phenomenon involved.
(b) The same results were not observed with a salt solution. Explain.
(c) Can you suggest two more solutions that would show the same effect as shown by the milk solution?
