If the soluton of ammonium chloride is heated to 75 degrees celcius, is the solution now sturated or un saturated?
To determine whether the solution of ammonium chloride is saturated or unsaturated after heating, we need to consider the solubility of ammonium chloride at different temperatures.
The solubility of most substances, including ammonium chloride, generally increases with increasing temperature. This means that as we heat the solution, more ammonium chloride will dissolve.
To confirm whether the solution is saturated or unsaturated, we need to compare the actual amount of ammonium chloride dissolved at 75 degrees Celsius with the maximum amount that can be dissolved at that temperature, which is called the solubility limit.
To find the solubility of ammonium chloride at 75 degrees Celsius, you can refer to a solubility chart or table specific to ammonium chloride. This information will provide the maximum amount (in grams or moles) of ammonium chloride that can be dissolved in a given volume of water at 75 degrees Celsius.
Once you have determined the solubility limit at 75 degrees Celsius, compare it to the actual concentration of ammonium chloride in the solution. If the actual concentration is lower than the solubility limit, the solution is unsaturated. If the concentration is equal to or higher than the solubility limit, the solution is saturated.
Remember to consider the units of concentration, whether it is expressed in grams per liter (g/L) or moles per liter (mol/L), to make accurate comparisons.
By following this approach, you can determine whether the solution of ammonium chloride, when heated to 75 degrees Celsius, is saturated or unsaturated.
