Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Consider a laboratory experiment where you create a saturated solution of NaCl in water. If you subsequently cool this solution and avoid stirring it, will it become supersaturated? Explain your answer.
💡 Hint: Recall the definitions of saturation and temperature effects.
In a cooking process, if you want to create a candy using sugar, describe how you would manage solubility to create a supersaturated solution, including potential risks.
💡 Hint: Think about the steps involved in candy making and how temperature plays a role.
