I have two questions (please show/explain how to get the answer for these types of problems):
1. A solution of sodium acetate is saturated. If you want to dissolve more solid sodium acetate in the solution, which of the following should you do?
a. pour out some solution before adding more sodium acetate
b. increase the pressure
c. stir vigorously
d. heat the solution
2. When a small crystal of salt is added to a solution, a large amount of crystals forms immediately. The solution was most likely:
a. unsaturated
b. undersaturated
c. supersaturated
d. a suspension
Thanks.
