Does NaCL solute in a solution limit sugar solubility?
Q. Sodium Chloride solubility in water is stated at around 35.9 g/100 ml (@ 25 C). Sucrose solubility in water is stated at around 211.5 g/100 ml (@ 20 C). Does the amount of one solute limit the amount of another solute, or are they dissolved essentially independently? For example, if I saturate the solution with salt, then add sugar, will salt precipitate, and vice versa?

A. Solubility : Solubility refers to the ability for a given substance, the solute, to dissolve in a solvent. It is measured in terms of the maximum amount of solute dissolved in a solvent at equilibrium. The resulting solution is called a saturated solution. Certain substances are soluble in all proportions with a given solvent, such as ethanol in water. This property is known as miscibility. Under various conditions, the equilibrium solubility can be exceeded to give a so-called supersaturated solution, which is metastable. The solvent is often a liquid, which can be a pure substance or a mixture. The species that dissolves, the solute, can be a gas, another liquid, or a solid. Solubilities range widely, from infinitely soluble such as… [cont.]

Can someone help me with some science questions?
Q. 1. How does increasing the temperature of a solvent affect the solubility of a gas? 2. Explain why the temperature of water might increase when a solution forms. 3. Explain why crushing a solute increases the rate of solution. 4.Name and describe the three types of solutions. 5. Explain why oil does not dissolve in water. 6. Describe how you might increase the solubility of a solid in a liquid. 7. Explain how a solution can be both dilute and saturated. 8. Describe three different ways in which the concentration of a solution can be reported. 9. Define and give an example of an acid and of the base. 10.List the properties of acids and bases. Which of the properties of acids would you use to safely test whether an unknown… [cont.]

A. 1.decrease 2.some solutes are exothermic on dissolving 3.more surface area 4. saturated holds all it can unsaturated can hold more supersaturated is holding more than normal at that temp 5.like dissolves like 6.smaller particles, stir, heat 7.very little will dissolve 8.molarity, molality. gm/ml 9. HCl NaOH 10.Too many to list, but use litmus paper to test 11.gas bubbles, H2 gas and MgCl2 12.base,acid,base, salt

When does a solution become saturated and how do you know it?
Q. Hi, I have to do this question for science and I don't if this answer is good. please tell if its good and like yeah. The solution becomes saturated when you can t get any more of the solute to dissolve. For example, if you take water and add juice crystals to it, the solution is saturated when you can t dissolve any more of the juice crystals in the water. please do not take and umm if i need to add something more pleas tell me . This is another one I've got. The solution becomes saturated when you can t get any more of the solute to dissolve. For example, if you take water and add juice crystals to it, the solution is saturated when you can t dissolve any more of the juice crystals in the water. You ll be able to see the little juice… [cont.]

A. Your answer is essentially correct. Use the terms solute and solvent. Solutions are clear. do not use juice crystals. use the term salt if salt crystals remain on the bottom after stirring then the solution is saturated
