Take a cup of water, add sugar, and stir. If the resulting solution contains sugar crystals that do not dissolve, the solution is said to be?

a)an unsaturated solution
b)a saturated solution
c)a homogeneous solution
d)none of the above

Is it d - supersaturated

If you add a sugar packet to a cup of sugar water, and all of it dissolves, which type of solution was the cup of water?

Using the solubility table below, select all compounds that are soluble in water (aq).

Actually, the correct answer is b) a saturated solution.

A saturated solution is one in which the maximum amount of solute, in this case, sugar, has dissolved in a given amount of solvent, which is water in this case. When you add sugar to the water and stir it, the sugar dissolves until no more sugar can dissolve, and the solution becomes saturated. At this point, any additional sugar added will not dissolve and will form sugar crystals that are visible in the solution.

Option c) a homogeneous solution refers to a solution in which the solute is uniformly distributed throughout the solvent, appearing as a single phase. This is true in the initial stages when the sugar is dissolving, but once it reaches saturation and sugar crystals start forming, the solution is no longer homogeneous.

Option a) an unsaturated solution is one in which more solute can be dissolved in the solvent. In this case, when all the sugar dissolves, the solution becomes saturated, so it is not an unsaturated solution.

Option d) supersaturated is not the correct answer because a supersaturated solution occurs when a solution is temporarily heated and then cooled. It allows more solute to be dissolved at an elevated temperature and then cooled to form a solution containing more solute than it should theoretically be able to hold at that temperature. In this case, we are not heating or cooling the solution, so it is not supersaturated.

So, the correct answer to the question is b) a saturated solution.

No the answer is b - a saturated solution.

A supersaturated solution is when you increase the concentration of the solution beyond its saturation point.
