Capitolo 13, Problema 35d

Indicate whether each statement is true or false: (d) If you take a saturated solution and raise its temperature, you can (usually) add more solute and make the solution even more concentrated.

Guida verificata passo dopo passo
1
Understand the concept of a saturated solution: A saturated solution is one in which the maximum amount of solute has been dissolved in a solvent at a given temperature.
Recognize the effect of temperature on solubility: For most solid solutes, solubility increases with an increase in temperature. This means that at higher temperatures, more solute can be dissolved in the solvent.
Apply this concept to the given statement: If you have a saturated solution and increase the temperature, the solubility of the solute typically increases, allowing more solute to be dissolved.
Consider exceptions: While this is generally true for most solid solutes, there are exceptions where solubility decreases with temperature, such as with some gases.
Conclude based on general solubility behavior: Given the typical behavior of solubility with temperature, the statement is generally true for most solid solutes.

Concetti chiave

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.

Saturated Solution

A saturated solution is a solution that has reached its maximum concentration of solute at a given temperature and pressure. At this point, any additional solute will not dissolve and will remain undissolved. Understanding this concept is crucial for determining how temperature changes can affect solubility.

Temperature and Solubility

The solubility of most solids in liquids typically increases with an increase in temperature. This means that when the temperature of a saturated solution is raised, it can often dissolve more solute, leading to a more concentrated solution. This relationship is essential for predicting how changes in temperature affect the behavior of solutions.

Concentration

Concentration refers to the amount of solute present in a given volume of solution. It is a key concept in chemistry as it influences the properties and reactions of solutions. Understanding how concentration can change with temperature and solute addition is vital for evaluating the truth of the statement regarding saturated solutions.
