Statements: 1. A saturated solution contains the maximum amount of solute that can dissolve at a given temperature. 2. An unsaturated solution can dissolve more solute at the same temperature. 3. A supersaturated solution contains less solute than a saturated solution. Select the correct statements:
Options
- A1 and 2 only
- B1 and 3 only
- C2 and 3 only
- D1 and 2 only
Correct answer
A. 1 and 2 only
Step-by-step solution
1. A saturated solution contains the maximum amount of solute that can dissolve at a given temperature. - No more solute can dissolve in a saturated solution at that temperature. 2. An unsaturated solution can dissolve more solute at the same temperature. - An unsaturated solution can still accommodate additional solute. 3. A supersaturated solution contains less solute than a saturated solution. - This statement is false; a supersaturated solution contains more solute than can typically dissolve.
