A chemist wants to dissolve as much salt as possible in 500 mL of water at 60°C. If 200 grams of salt dissolves, is the solution saturated, unsaturated, or supersaturated? Explain your reasoning.
💡 Hint: Research the solubility of salt at that temperature.
Consider two scenarios - one where gas is dissolved in soda at 1 atm pressure and another where the pressure is increased to 3 atm. Describe what will happen to the gas dissolved in the soda.
💡 Hint: Recall how pressure affects gas molecules in solutions.
