the solubility of sodium chloride in water at 10 degrees C is 32 g in 100 g of water. If 14 g of sodium chloride are dissolved in 50 g of water at 10 degrees, the solution is ___________.
14g/50gwater is 28g/100gwater, so it is unsaturated.
dilute
Dilute
To determine the type of solution when 14 g of sodium chloride are dissolved in 50 g of water at 10 degrees Celsius, we need to compare the amount dissolved with the maximum solubility of sodium chloride in water at that temperature.
The given maximum solubility of sodium chloride in water at 10 degrees Celsius is 32 g in 100 g of water.
Step 1: Calculate the maximum solubility of sodium chloride in 50 g of water.
Since the maximum solubility is given for 100 g of water, we need to find the ratio for 50 g.
Max Solubility of sodium chloride in 50 g of water = (32 g / 100 g) x 50 g = 16 g
Step 2: Compare the amount dissolved with the maximum solubility.
The amount of sodium chloride dissolved is 14 g, which is less than the maximum solubility of 16 g.
Since the amount dissolved is less than the maximum solubility, the solution is unsaturated.
